The Secret Aftermath by Gloria Oliver
The Secret Aftermath: When the Past Refuses to Stay Buried
Julia Xero thought cleaning up after the dead was her dream job. Now, at twenty-two, she’s discovering it might just get her killed. As a decades-old secret bursts into the light, Julia finds herself caught in the crosshairs of those who’d prefer it stay buried—permanently.
Thrust into a world where her very existence is an affront, Julia must navigate the treacherous waters of a hidden race that wants her gone. But she’s no shrinking violet; this introverted orphan has found a family worth fighting for, and she’ll be damned if she’ll let anyone take that away.
As Julia races to uncover a sinister plot threatening to neuter a large portion of humanity, she’s forced to confront an even deadlier truth—someone wants her erased from existence. With each step forward, the danger mounts, and Julia must use every ounce of her newfound strength to stay alive.
Gloria Oliver’s “The Secret Aftermath” plunges readers into a breathless urban fantasy where the line between human and other blurs, and every ally could be an enemy in disguise. It’s a world where family isn’t just about blood, but about who you’d bleed for.
Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files and Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, this novel asks: How far would you go to protect those you love when the world itself seems set against you?
As Julia unearths more hidden truths, one question looms larger than all: Can she stop her unseen nemesis before her newfound family becomes collateral damage in a war they never knew existed?
Dive into “The Secret Aftermath” and join Julia Xero as she fights to uncover the truth, save humanity, and keep her chosen family intact. Sometimes, the most dangerous secrets are the ones we keep from ourselves.
