Synopsis

Being dead is all fun and games until you fall in love...

You get murdered by an online predator, then you find out there's a "hold" on your Afterlife Account and you have to find and stop the man who killed you in order to clear your account. But how is any self-respecting dead girl supposed to focus on killing scumbags when she's got the hots for a cute nerd? Paranormal fun from the acclaimed author of the True Blue Trilogy and Symmetry.

"This first book in the series is an intriguing mix of fantasy and reality, written with the author's signature blend of humor, empathy, believable characters and realistic dialog. The plot drew me in from page one and I could not put this book down!" — Midwest Book Reviews

"Thrilling, poignant, scary, at times hilarious, this is a suspense-filled book that you won't want to end. A writer to watch!" — R.A. Nelson, author of Teach Me and Throat

"I really enjoyed this book. It is an amazing escape from reality. Jada's story pulls you in and won't let go. This book is great for anyone looking for some humor and a quick getaway." — LitPick Student Reviews

After she’s murdered by a sexual predator, 18-year-old Jada Gayle must stay among the living until she finds and stops the Internet stalker who killed her. When the Afterlife Admissions Office assigns the now “transdead” Jada to a foster home back among the living, she assumes the identity of a homeless teen and is expected to simply fit in as she hunts down her killer, but that's not so easy when you’re a hot zombie chick channeling Chuck Norris.

Then she meets Lew Stanton—captain of the chess team and computer whiz who makes her dead heart beat phantom rhythms in her chest. As if it’s not bad enough to have the hots for a nerd, Jada’s new friend Annalee likes him too. While Jada deals with all this unwanted teenaged angst, the man who murdered her is closing in on more foolish girls. Jada thinks she has plenty of time to handle her predicament until the night she gets a terrifying message: I HAVE YOUR FRIEND.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The valedictorian of her high school graduating class, JOYCE SCARBROUGH is a Southern woman weary of seeing herself and her peers portrayed in books and movies as either post-antebellum debutantes or barefoot hillbillies á la Daisy Duke, so all her heroines are smart, unpretentious women who refuse to be anyone but themselves. Joyce has four published novels and also has short stories featured in several anthologies. She writes both adult and YA fiction and is active in her regional chapter of SCBWI. Joyce has lived all her life in beautiful LA (lower Alabama), she’s the mother of three gifted children and a blind Pomeranian named Tilly, and she’s been married for 31 years to the love of her life—a superhero who disguises himself during the day as a high school math teacher and coach.
