"Living Dead Girl" is a unique and enjoyable book. It begins with Aurora climbing out of her own grave. Not knowing what to do, she finds her best friend, Henry. After getting over his own shock, Henry and Aurora try to solve the mystery of what happened and why she is back.The book sets up a lot of different plot lines and juggles them well. Who - or what - is Aurora? What secrets is the inscrutable Lucas keeping? What is Henry's dad up to? The story manages enough tension and a cliffhanger that left me dying to read "Stalking Dead", the next book in the series.I also like Aurora as a lead female character. Despite her extraordinary circumstances, she doesn't feel sorry for herself. Instead she takes the lead in solving her own mystery.I'd recommend this book for anyone who enjoys supernatural stories. It's a fun new spin on the genre.
