His father died when he was ten, and ghosts have been hovering around Kostya ever since. Kostya can’t exactly see the ghosts, but he can taste their favorite foods. Flavors of meals he’s never eaten will flood his mouth, a sign that a spirit is present. Kostya has kept these \u003ci\u003eaftertastes\u003c\/i\u003e a secret for most of his life, but one night, he decides to act on what he’s tasting. And everything changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKostya discovers that he can reunite people with their deceased loved ones—at least for the length of time it takes for them to eat a dish that he’s prepared. He thinks his life’s purpose might be to offer closure to grieving strangers, and sets out to learn all he can by entering a particularly fiery ring of Hell: the New York culinary scene. But as his kitchen skills catch up with his ambitions, Kostya is too blind to see the catastrophe looming in the Afterlife. And the one person who knows Kostya must be stopped also happens to be falling in love with him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book Studio","offers":[{"title":"Just the book","offer_id":51745836204328,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Add to: Blind Date or Collection","offer_id":51745836237096,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0966\/7368\/files\/713fLN9TCAL._SL1500.jpg?v=1777082110","url":"https:\/\/thebookstudio.co\/products\/aftertaste","provider":"The Book Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
