There once was a girl with a heart full of life.
She went out with her friend in a glimmer of light, the party beat drumming in her veins.
Little did they know what would happen that night.
After three acts of violence, there followed a silence.
When Kaitlyn awakened the following morning, the room felt like ice.
All that remained was a breath of revenge on her lips.
In the end, vengeance replaced life with death.
I found Living Dead Girl by Kelly Gunderman to be the perfect gateway book for the spooktacular season that is often associated with fall. It's edgy with a slasher-horror film vibe where readers feel the intensity of a ghost's revenge to seek justice for all that was taken from her. The atmosphere makes it a perfect YA candidate read for younger audiences to follow Kaitlyn's narrative as she navigates her newfound existence and relates the spectral experience for readers.
