“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 ""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 King’s Pet Sematary with Courtney Summers’s 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 Crowley’s debut punctuates the nonstop action and brings the eerie supernatural scenes to life."" —Kirkus Reviews
