by Codie Crowley
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.
Murdered bad girl Annie Lane is back from the grave and hellbent on revenge ... she just has to figure out who killed her.
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.
"Annie's search for answers turns into a quest for vengeance, aided by Sam, one of the ghosts of Resurrection Peak, who has a penchant for smoking and 1950s slang. 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
"A plot-driven revenge story that struggles to clearly set the scene." —Kirkus 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 Award–winning author of Female of the Species

Codie Crowley told a scary story at a childhood slumber party that caused a mass hysteria, and she's been chasing that high ever since. When she isn't writing chilling fiction, she's probably out looking for ghosts in Salem, Massachusetts, where she lives with her husband, their cat, and a collection of creepy dolls.
