Description

Murdered bad girl Annie Lane is back from the grave and hellbent on revenge . . . she just has to figure out who killed her. This fast-paced thriller, now available in paperback, delivers a horror-infused hunt for justice that's at once furiously feminist, darkly funny, and utterly satisfying. Includes a teaser chapter from Codie Crowley's next novel! Murdered bad girl Annie Lane is back from the grave and hellbent on revenge . . . she just has to figure out who killed her. This fast-paced thriller by a talented debut delivers a horror-infused hunt for justice that's at once furiously feminist, darkly funny, and utterly satisfying. Between her careless mom, her cheating ex-boyfriend, and her rotten reputation around town, Annie Lane is used to being left behind. But she's never been left for dead before-until she wakes up to find her body's been dumped on a mountain rumored to raise the dead. Annie can't remember who killed her, but she'll stop at nothing to figure it out and make them pay. Because girls like her don't get justice unless they take it for themselves. Codie Crowley's propulsive debut presents a furious and cathartic thriller skewering society's condemnation of "unlikeable" girls.

Reviews

A wholly original exploration of what it means to be a modern female, with a depth of rage that echoes into the afterlife. Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Awardwinning author of Female of the Species

"A delight to read."Paste Magazine

"Readers who love thrillers and stories of 'unlikable' female characters will eat this one up." BookRiot

"A darkly funny adventure horror with a good bit of revenge thrown in. For all the weirdo girlies who like a little female rage, as a treat." Hey YA by BookRiot

"Debut author Crowley combines Stephen Kings Pet Sematary with Courtney Summerss Sadie in this supernatural thriller. . . .Sardonic first-person narration by rough-around-the-edges Annie is further enhanced by snappy repartee, both of which elevate a plot that covers well-trod ground to a surprising and earned conclusion." Publishers Weekly

"Horror-fueled adventure. . . .The visceral language in Crowleys debut punctuates the nonstop action and brings the eerie supernatural scenes to life." Kirkus Reviews
