Releases on: January 26th 2016
Breezy remembers leaving
the party, the warm, wet grass under her feet, her cheek still stinging
from a slap to the face. But when she wakes up, scared and pulling dirt
from her mouth, a year has passed and she can’t explain the necklace of
bruises around her neck. She also can’t explain the man lying at her
grave, dead from her touch.
Returning home seems impossible. Her parents and sisters have clearly grieved and struggled to move on, and Breezy can’t begin to answer their inevitable questions. Her heartbeat comes and goes, she doesn’t need to eat or drink, she can see the inky memories of murderers, and she can somehow pull on this dark guilt to kill them. Haunted by the happy memories from her life and disgusted by the half-dead creature she’s become, Breezy embarks on a reckless quest to find answers and a dangerous healing magic…but the cure is as dark and terrible as the disease.
Set in a gorgeous, terrifying world, Shallow Graves is a stunning novel about the heartbreaking trauma of a girl’s life cut short and her struggle to reconcile her humanity with the creature she’s become.

Thoughts:
Hmmmmm. This book sounds fantastic! I love the cover and the description has me eager to discover what Breezy is. My mind is already starting to conjure thoughts as to what that may be. Zombie? Vampire? Some mixture of both? Or something completely different? Whatever she is, I sure can't wait to find out.
Does Shallow Graves sound like something you would read?
Plus, what are you waiting on this week?
