She just got used to the name and used it for writing her novels. But she says that she is not afraid of them and has taken up a pseudonym for her novels because there is actually no real reason for it. Some people believe that she has chosen the pen name in order to hide from the remnants of the cartel. Author Claudia had smashed an international diamond smuggling cartel in her year 2003 and had got them arrested by the Interpol. She chose her pen name because she found it suitable as the name of an author. She says that she did not choose a pen name for writing her novels because her name seemed unpleasant to her, neither because she had always desired to be called by the name Claudia rather than her real name. She was born and brought up in the United States and had always dreamed of becoming an established author of romance novels. Claudia is particularly popular for her successful and interesting Evernight series.

She is very well known for writing her novels based on the paranormal romance, science fiction, young adult, and fantasy genres.

Claudia Gray did an amazing job with the story and everything runs so smoothly and is so easy to follow.

They are all great and each one has come into their own at different points in the series, but in Afterlife I feel you get a complete picture of them.

In my opinion, all the characters in this series have progressed and evolved.

I have officially gained a huge crush on Balthazar and I cannot wait for his story.

There were so many times he thought he would lose himself, but he refused to let that happen and kept on fighting. He really struggled with himself and tried his best to stay the same not just for himself, but for Bianca as well.

I wanted to cry at so many different points in this book because of Lucas.

Lucas becomes what he hates the most and Bianca becomes what she fears the most, yet they refused to let that tear them apart. In Afterlife, you see that love really does conquer all.

I am still very much in love with Lucas and Bianca's relationship.

This series does not lack mystery, suspense and action at all.

I loved that Claudia Gray picked the book up right where it left off in HourGlass.
