Rebekkah takes us on one hell of a ride and I cannot wait to see what happens next!!~Amazon Reader

When I picked up AMEERAH I didn't know what I was in store for. This book started off as Ameerah telling her story and what an amazing story this has been.

I was in awe reading this book. Her story was one of sadness, betrayal, heartbreak, and a horrible ending.

Reading this book had me envisioning this awesome book on screen. I could sense the everything in the air. I can hear the music in my ears, smell the cigarette smoke and taste the alcohol in between my lips.

I loved how Rebekkah Ford made me feel like I was living in the 1920's which in fact would be a fascinating time to live (if you were a rebel like me).

I fell in love with how Rebekkah had me wanting more.

It was a wonderful book and I think all of my friends should read this!!!

I wish I could say more but I don't want to give anything away!

Thank you Rebekkah Ford for such an amazing journey!!!~Amazon Reader

Blurb:

Some birds cannot be caged, and I’m one of them.

In 1925, eighteen-year-old Ameerah Arrowood is murdered in an insane asylum. She finds herself transported to a dreary realm that turns out to be a recruiting station for the dark spirits. With animosity in her heart toward humanity, she decides to join them.

For the next ninety years, Ameerah possesses soulless humans, living a hedonistic, mischievous and sometimes vengeful existence, but now she's seeking salvation so she can crossover and save her lost love who is stuck in the lower world.

Ameerah enlists the help of her dark spirit friend Derek, who is straddling the line between Heaven and Hell. She tells him how it all began, weaving between historical timelines to now, hoping to gain understanding about why her parents betrayed her and wanting to get rid of the guilt weighing on her heart. In the end, the unexpected unfolds, throwing Ameerah a curve ball which changes her forever.

I’m behind in these posts you guys because there was a sudden death in my family. I hope you’re still with me. I can’t wrap my head around the loss in my family, but I’m still here. I must continue on and do the best I can to make my life count.

So who is Ameerah Arrowood? If you’ve been following my posts, you’re getting an idea about her story, which will be released at the end of this month. I will announce the date to my subscribers first, so if you haven’t joined my newsletter, now is the time to do so. http://rebekkahford.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=06bbb5773fe9e17e6ba0e860e&id=51f0af6e94

The last post revealed Ameerah was murdered and with hate in her heart towards humanity, she was transported to a dreary realm that turned out to be a recruiting station.

Who is #Ameerah Arrowood? The year is 1925. Continues . . .

Aidan Logan approaches Ameerah. He’s an Irish lad, who is a recruiter for the dark spirits. He tells her there are people born without a soul. Dark spirits can dwell in these soulless humans, live the life they desire, and enjoy the pleasures of being back in the flesh, such as sex, alcohol, drugs, food, and whatnot. It’s quite fun actually. If she wants revenge on the people who double-crossed her, she can do so by becoming a dark spirit. He then goes more into depth about his world. You’ll have to read the book to find out. ;)

Ameerah loathes authority she’s forced to follow, and she can’t allow the people who betrayed her get away with what they’d done to her. She wants them to suffer as much as she had. She accepts Aidan’s offer, becomes a dark spirit, and he teaches her how to thrive in this new existence. They become pals.

Find out next week what Aidan teaches Ameerah and more about her tale before the book gets released.

Ameerah was having the time of her life during the summer of 1925 when her high-hat parents were out of state on business. She was a flapper gal who drank, smoked, and loved to dance. She had two deep dark secrets that in the end ruined her and was used as ammunition to wrongfully commit her to an insane asylum where horrible things were done to her.

Before the light was taken from Ameerah, plunging her into the dark side of humanity, she experienced for the first time in her life, happiness and true love. Of course, all of this took place during prohibition where there were hidden illegal drinking nightclubs that people flocked to. The speakeasy. It was called “the speakeasy” because a bartender had to tell a patron who was ordering an alcoholic beverage to speak easy, so he wouldn’t raise suspicion. The term actually went back further than that, to the 1800s, but it was basically for the same reason. The speakeasy was also known as the blind pig or blind tiger. They were secretive joints that you had to find and give a password like panther sweat, in order to gain access to. A lot of speakeasies were run by gangsters, and they greased a lot of palms-political and law enforcement—in order to keep business rolling. In 1925, there were an estimated 30,000-100,000 speakeasies in New York City alone.

The south side cocktail was the drink Al Capone and his gang favored the most. Ameerah tried it when she went to a speakeasy with her best friend Betty and Betty’s bootlegging brother Abe. The drink is light and refreshing. The ingredients are simple.
