Resumen del Editor
For fans of Holly Black and Nova Ren Suma, a gripping, hauntingly atmospheric novel about murder, revenge, and a world where monsters - human and otherwise - lurk at the fringes.
When 17-year-old Breezy Lin wakes up in a shallow grave one year after her death, she doesn't remember who killed her or why. All she knows is that she's somehow conscious - and not only that, she's 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 belongs - where 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.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

Blue herself never sees them - not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain.

Historia
Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close, the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects - Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72 - manage to escape.

Maggie Olsen had a pretty ordinary childhood - swimming and sleepovers, movie nights and dad jokes. But then there were the other things...the darker things...the shadow that followed her home from the cemetery and settled into the corners of her home, refusing to let her grow up in peace. Now, after three years of being away from the place she's convinced she inadvertently haunted, and after yet another family tragedy strikes, Maggie is forced to return to the sweltering heat of a Savannah summer to come to terms with her past.

The second time, she's 17, and it's no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina is not so lucky. When the cops deem Mina's murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night for a meeting shrouded in mystery.

Dark , Twisted, and Funny
You’ll have to forgive my grammar in this review I’m in my car I just finished” had to write a review on it. This story is absolutely fantastic dark the concept of death and magic is one-of-a-kind. I found it very contemporary very funny very up-to-date and I highly recommend it for my eighth graders and older. Hardly any language and sexual content but definitely definitely action, mystery excitement and most of all very bone chilling at some points.

Must read for folks who've died & come back wrong!
Many stories feature people brought back from the dead by the magic of a loved one's wish—perhaps a parent, a child, a lover, a sibling—the monkey's paw curls and now there's knocking at your door and on the other side is your loved one, who has come back, not as you knew them, but terribly wrong.
These sorts of stories, with their fantastic Aesop that you should never wish for the dead to come back to life, are much like time travel stories, where the moral is invariably not to alter your past with a time machine. The dead character who has returned—but is no longer the loved one you knew and cared for—serves as a lesson to live a life without regrets, to let go and move on in the face of death and hardship.
But what about us, the returned dead, we who came back as monsters? Are we to accept being mere metaphors for the importance of moving on? Don't we deserve to be loved as we are now, even though we may forget to pretend to breathe, even though that dinner you have prepared for us tastes like ash in our mouth, even though the hunger coiling inside of us can only be sated with a human life? Don't we deserve love and family too?
Our knocking at the door has stopped. We heard your final wish on that monkey's paw. We're not the loved one you wanted. The good daughter with a heartbeat. So we'll go somewhere else. Find others who'll accept us. We'll move on too.

A Day in the Life of a Not-Quite Zombie
Breezy Lin came back from the dead a year after she died. Her body still works. Though she has to really concentrate to keep her lungs breathing and her heart beating. She's not decomposing nor does she have any appetite for human brains or humans in general. But it is a fact that she had been dead for a year. And she came back as more than a reanimated corpse. Because she can sense who the murderers are and has the ability to put them permanently out of commission.
From the summary, I sort of expected some sort of mystery/thriller. I expected the book to be about Breezy trying to figure out who killed her and/or who brought her back and why (to both questions). But this is not what I got.
This is not to say that I am disappointed. In fact, I did enjoy it.
Having said that, I don't think this is everyone's cup of tea. There's no big romance or big epic action here. Breezy did not come back to life to be some savior.
The story is really more like a slice of life type of story. It's really more like what would happen if an ordinary teenager came back to life and decided to leave her town without anyone the wiser trying to find a way to get back to normal. And meets very dangerous "people" along the way.
