Ashley Moore wakes up in the forest one day, only to discover that she is dead and probably shouldn't have woken up at all. With no idea how this happened or how she got there, she manages to stumble home. From there, she has to figure out how to live whilst being undead. This graphic novel was honestly super interesting! Ashley already had an entire plan laid out for herself: keep her head down, get into college, and get the hell out of her dinky hometown. Becoming undead completely flips this plan on its head and leaves her scrambling. Watching Ashley trying to navigate her new life was interesting and very gory. She slowly gets involved with the community of supernatural beings who live in her hometown and gets some help along the way. I enjoyed the mystery of how she died being prevalent in the background of the story for the entire novel, and that you finally get all of the answers neatly done at the very end. I also ADORED the art style! The expressions were done wonderfully, and the gore was legitimately disturbing. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
