The Memory of After (or Level 2)
Ever since she was killed in a car accident just before her eighteenth birthday, Felicia Ward has been trapped in the afterlife. She spends the endless hours uploading and re-watching memories from her time on earth, missing the people she left behind - especially her boyfriend, Neil.
That all changes when Julian, a dangerously charming acquaintance from Felicia's life, appears in her memory chamber. He offers her a chance to escape; if Felicia joins the rebellion to overthrow the Morati, the angels in charge of Level 2, she'll be free to move on. Wary of trusting Julian, Felicia only agrees when he promises her the chance to be with Neil again. But there's more to this battle than anyone, even Julian, knows and Felicia finds herself at the centre of an eternal struggle between good and evil.
Please Note: This book has previously been published under the title Level 2.

Since her untimely death the day before her eighteenth birthday, Felicia Ward has been trapped in Level 2, a stark white afterlife located between our world and the next. Along with her fellow drones, Felicia passes the endless hours reliving memories of her time on Earth and mourning what she’s lost-family, friends, and Neil, the boy she loved.
But when Julian – a dangerously charming guy Felicia knew in life – comes to offer Felicia a way out, Felicia learns the truth: If she joins the rebellion to overthrow the Morati, the angel guardians of Level 2, she can be with Neil again . . .
Lenore Appelhans combines the best of much contemporary young adult fantasy in this inventive series: the dystopian drama of Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy; the religious mythology of the Fallen books by Lauren Kate; and the revolutionary spirit of Teri Terry's characters in Slated. Ultimately, though, The Memory Chronicles is a unique glimpse of a young life caught between two worlds and the ever-raging war between good and evil which surrounds her.
