Olga Gay Worontzoff left the Underworld for her final year of high school anxious for things to return to normal, but fate has other plans. The new hottie at school reads her thoughts but nobody else's. Her best friend wakes up from his coma acting like a completely different person. Caught in a world that's a mix of familiar and supernatural, she must confront what she will-or won't-do to bring him back and stare down her own perceived inadequacies to face a couple of tenacious demons, figurative and literal. Everything she thought she knew about reality will change as she walks the line between past and present, fear and faith, love and loyalty. And by the end of a heartbreaking year, she might be forced to realize "normal" in the conventional sense of the word is the one thing she may never achieve.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jamie Ayres writes young adult paranormal love stories by night and teaches young adults as a high school English teacher by day. When not at home on her laptop or at school, she can often be found at a local book store grabbing random children and reading to them. So far, she has not been arrested for this. Although she spent her youthful summers around Lake Michigan, she now lives in Florida with her prince charming, two children (sometimes three based on how Mr. Ayres is acting), and a basset hound. She really does have grandmothers named Olga and Gay but unlike her heroine, she's thankfully not named after either one of them. She loves lazy pajama days, the first page of a good book, stupid funny movies, and sharing stories with fantastic people like you. Her books include the three novels in her trilogy: 18 Things, 18 Truths, and 18 Thoughts. Visit her online via Twitter, Facebook, or at www.jamieayres.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars The third (and final?) book in the So-Called Afterlife Series.

Disclaimer: I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
Olga Gay Worontzoff left the Underworld for her final year of high school anxious for things to return to normal, but fate has other plans. Everything she thought she knew about reality will change as she walks the line between past and present, fear and faith, love and loyalty.
I found "18 Truths" to be very intriguing, and odd. Everything I knew was very different in this book. The whole "My So-Called After life Series" is a wild, emotional, and spiritual roller-coaster. This is not your typical "paranormal" book. I could actually see this book in the religious section or even in a christian bookstore. The use of scripture has great examples of use in real life. This book and series proves that the most important thing is faith. In 18 Thoughts, the important thing is loyalty and unconditional love. When Conner woke of from his coma acting "strange" Olga did not fully give up on him. She tried to find answers to help him. The love triangle between Olga, Conner and Nate was emotional and real. I usually find love triangles boring in YA books, but this one really had some strong feelings behind it. Olga knew Conner since Kindergarten, and then she meets Nate. In this book, you will see Olga's choice. I have a feeling that Olga's story is not done. I feel the Underworld is still wanting to carry out it's plan on earth. Plus, I definitely think the Devil holds grudges. Olga has thwarted his plans, and I feel he will go after her again.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC read!!

Another fantastic book from Jamie Ayres. 18 Thoughts is the third and final book in the My So Called After Life trilogy, and let me tell you this was a perfect ending to this great story. 18 Thoughts is all about second changes when Olga, Nate and Connor get another chance at life. Nate ends up with a fun little "talent" that makes things very interesting between him and Olga. Some of these scenes are absolutely hysterical especially before they realize what is going on. Other scenes I found hysterical where between Nate and Connor, who don't always get along. I also enjoyed seeing the growth and strength in Olga with this part of the story. Not everything was funny and great though. At times my heart would break and I begged for things not to be true. I was worried how or if the 18 Things from the first book would be worked into this one but Jamie quickly put my mind at ease and I was satisfied with what she did with this aspect of the story. I am so sad that Olga's story has come to an end but it was a great journey that had a perfect ending. Which I will revisit again and again. I can't recommend this series enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good conclusion
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2016

This was a good conclusion to the trilogy. I especially liked all the nods to the first book. My only real complaint was with the conclusion. I guess I expected something more final, not they all went their separate ways trusting that what was meant to be would be. It wasn't a bad ending by any means and I would recommend this series without question, it just wasn't a five star ending.

Another great read by Jamie Ayres! I read this one very quickly. My plan was to read a chapter every night and it turned into a Sunday evening late then up early Monday morning, read through my lunch hour and couldn't wait to get home from work to finish. I was nervous about the ending because I'm often disappointed in endings, but I was truly happy with the end of the trilogy. It was refreshing to get the perspectives from the different characters. The Star Wars references were wonderful as always. Don't bother opening the book without reading 18 Things and 18 Truths (in that order). You'll be lost. The book also inspires me to want to visit Michigan in the summer. Only Grand Haven though, and not the portal to the underworld. Just the nice parts of town.

Read the books! You won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Conclusion to a Fabulous Series
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016
Verified Purchase
This series has pulled at me from the beginning. I fell in love with the first book, and then reread it before moving on to the second and finally this third installment. This series is amazing. I am rarely at a loss for words when it comes to books I've read, but this story took my breath away. I cheered for the characters, gasped, worried about them, and loved them like family. I was so depressed when I reached the end of the book, as I didn't want it to end. This is a series I will definitely reread again and again. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a good paranormal YA/NA story.

After reading the first two books of this trilogy, I couldn't wait until the release of the third book. There is so much I want to write but I can't do spoilers.
This is an amazing trilogy. It has all the right stuff. Olga did a lot of growing up in this book. She is a positive role model for young girls. I loved her inner thoughts and conversations. She made me proud at the end of the book. I love the twists and turns throughout the trilogy.
I can't wait to read more from this author. You write it, I'm reading it!

I am not surprised that Jamie Ayres has written yet another great book! This trilogy ends with 18 Thoughts- loved seeing the characters grow in their faith and realizing that we need to have our faith in God in over to overcome adversity.
Once you have read 18 Things you can't wait to pick up 18 Truths and then of course finishing off the series with 18 Thoughts!! Great ending to an awesome and well written trilogy. I will miss reading the adventures of the Jedi Order!
Thank you Jamie! Looking forward to your next book!
