I thought the writing was beautiful. The use of the phrase of being a “living dead girl” was haunting and I will be thinking about this for a long time.

5.0

Living Dead Girl took me a little over an hour and a half to read. This book is BEYOND fast paced, you are so in the thick of it. Beware speed readers: every small sentence counts, and those words you know to look for won't be there. Cherish every sentence with this book not to miss a single moment. 

Every moment was throughly disgusting, and I could not put this book down. I truly recommend if you're already deep into the thriller horror concept, and if you're comfortable reading about very bleak scenes.

This book was so dang sad. It’s a horrible thing for something to go though and it’s something that HAPPENS in real life.
