Boring not as good as the title or the blurb 

Okay well now I need a movie made of this.

I'm really not a huge supernatural type of person and don't really gravitate toward that genre of books but this one was so good, it was unexpected.

At its core, this story is a gem. I really liked the premise and liked exploring the murder mystery through the eyes of an illogical, teenaged, murder-victim ghost. The writing wasn’t super strong, which is where this book falls through for me. The plot twist felt like it wasn’t sufficiently carried throughout the book, which weakens the twist for me personally. The red herrings felt too obvious and some points felt too drawn out or pointedly ignored until they were convenient. However, like I said, I love the idea of the story and that was enough to carry me through.

Annie Lane is dead. She wakes up on Resurrection Hill, having no idea who killed her. But she's ready to find out and make them pay. Hanging with a group of fellow corporeal ghosties, she investigates the circumstances of her untimely demise. What a romp! This story will have you rooting for the unlikeable main character and keep you guessing until the end.

Fun read

Very fun! Had big Jennifer's Body vibes, and was a great way to start the spooky season. I would have loved to learn more lore around the other characters. I can see this being adapted to a fun thriller movie.
