For fans of Holly Black and Nova Ren Suma, a gripping, hauntingly atmospheric novel about murder, revenge, and a world where monstersâhuman and otherwiseâlurk at the fringes.When seventeen-year-old Breezy Lin wakes up in a shallow grave one year after her death, she doesnât remember who killed her or why. All she knows is that sheâs somehow consciousâand not only that, sheâs able to sense who around her is hiding a murderous past. In life, Breezy was always drawn to the elegance of the universe and the mystery of the stars. Now she must set out to find answers and discover what is to become of her in the gritty, dangerous world to which she now belongsâwhere killers hide in plain sight, and a sinister cult is hunting for strange creatures like her. What she finds is at once empowering, redemptive, and dangerous.Tense, complex, and wholly engaging, Shallow Graves is a stunning first novel from Kali Wallace.
If I suddenly woke in a graveyard after a year of being dead…
–Â I’m going to find my family…obviously it’s going to scare the hell out of them, but I’m going to find them anyways!Â
-FOOD. Now, with all the things I have read and seen about the undead, I probably won’t like the food but I’m sure going to TRY!
–Â Even undead I’m going to be a bookworm and find a bookstore so I can devour some books.Â
-Find my BFF, I need to be caught up on everything I’ve missed in the past year.
– Oh gah, I about forgot something that’s probably going to be high up on the list actually…SHOWER. I’m super dirty right?!
– I’m going to need to find some kind of scientist or something to figure out what the heck I am and if I’m going to stay this way.
-While the scientist is figuring me out, I’m going to write the longest bucket list of crap to do, because I obviously have unresolved things. And this also means I can do all the things that scare the ever loving crap out of me because, HEY I’M UNDEAD!!Â
