Pretty Little Dead Girls

5/5 STARS "...a study in contrasts€"light against dark, subtle against loud, hope against disbelief, hunger against satiation. Pretty Little Dead Girls is all of those things that make us human, picked apart and thrust in the open for us to internalize in our own unique ways."
€"Sarah Chorn, Bookworm Blues

"Quite possibly the best book I've read all year."
€"Maja, The Nocturnal Library

"RUN, STAR GIRL." Bryony Adams is destined to be murdered, but fortunately Fate has terrible marksmanship. In order to survive, she must run as far and as fast as she can. After arriving in Seattle, Bryony befriends a tortured musician, a market fish-thrower, and a starry-eyed hero who is secretly a serial killer bent on fulfilling Bryony€s dark destiny.

Mercedes M. Yardley€s Pretty Little Dead Girls: A Novel of Murder and Whimsy is a dark, lovely fairy tale with lyrical language and a high body count, and features a cover by Hugo award-winner Galen Dara.
