Publisher's Summary

Veronica Mars meets The Craft when a teen girl investigates the suspicious deaths of three classmates and accidentally ends up bringing them back to life to form a hilariously unlikely - and unwilling - vigilante girl gang. 

Meet teenage Wiccan Mila Flores, who truly could not care less what you think about her Doc Martens, her attitude, or her weight because she knows that, no matter what, her BFF Riley is right by her side. 

So when Riley and Fairmont Academy mean girls June Phelan-Park and Dayton Nesseth die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact. Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life. 

Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders. But they do have unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer...before the killer strikes again.

Critic Reviews

"Witches get the spotlight and zombies are way more interesting than their Walking Dead relatives in this coming-of-age horror comedy...a breezy entry to the supernatural that also rewrites creature-feature rules in a smart way." (USA Today)

"A compelling mystery, a grimly funny fantasy, and a genuinely touching story of friendship." (Booklist) 

"Mila’s sardonic, darkly humorous narration drives much of this book...but Anderson also couples Mila’s sarcasm with sincere grief, making an authentic picture of an outsider girl mourning the loss of her only friend." (BCCB) 

One of my tops!

This book is fun, flirty, dark and creepy! It is put together so well! I wishI could jump into the mind of Lilly Anderson and be Milas best friend! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This was a good book

I enjoyed this book it was humorous and the narrator was great! I look forward to more by this author. I found the story very amusing and it kept my attention the entire time.

Serious Daria vibes!

I loved this book so much! The morbid humor was right up my alley & it reminded me so much of Daria with corpses. Rebecca did a great job! I’ll definitely be listening to it again!

Bless-ed Be clear the way for Zombie angst

This book took some perseverance before I actually wanted to continue with the story instead of throwing it away. It was the biggest bummer in the beginning and I wasn’t exactly dreaming of butterflies and rainbows to start.

Yes there are dead people. I don’t think you can call that a spoiler because after all the title does contain the word ‘undead’. This is no Walking Dead though more like Clueless combined with the Mean Girls if you replace Claire and the Plastics with rotting corpses.

The narrator did an ok job. Not one to come up with unique voices for each character. It was a straight read. No flare.

And just to clarify it’s ‘Bless-Ed Be’ not ‘Blesd Be’.

Great book!

Wow as a fellow fat and Hispanic I could relate to this book. Loved it very the craft meets veronica mars.

A little predictable, but fulfilling nonetheless.

I will admit, I did manage to predict very quickly who the culprit really was; however, the journey was honest enough that it wasn't a complete drag to walk the path of the rest of the book. Good, somewhat-mindless witchy fun.

Not what I expected

This book immediately plunged into controversial topics. It felt sac-religious at times. I forced myself to keep reading before making any judgements. Overall, the writing seemed poor and forced. But, I do see young adult themes that are important. If you look over all the high school/teenage drama and bs you might see what what the writer intended to teach you. While I’m fine reading Harry Potter or Dresden Files, this book made me uncomfortable. But the story finally grabbed me and I needed closure.

Highly Engaging and Fun

With an excellent narrator, this book has so much personality. It was highly entertaining, a story that sucked me in, and great characters. There were really only three options for the murderer and it ended up being the one I hoped it wouldn't be--too easy and obvious, and with a pretty lame motive. But if you can forgive that, and I can, it was a really unique and entertaining adventure. The writer has a knack for YA.

Riveting!

I absolutely loved this book! I listened to it twice and both times I was captured by the characters and plot line.

This was fun.

After a string of books with heavy subject matter I was looking for something fun and this was it.

Basically equal parts Veronica Mars, The Craft, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Death Becomes Her, and Heathers. Which happen to be 5 of my favorite things.

Just disappointing

This was a disappointing book despite it beingb narrated by Rebecca Solar, who,s a fantastic narrator
