My Thoughts:
I received the first six chapters of this book and I have been seeing this on other sites like Goodreads and the Bookly summer 2018 YA reading list. With just six chapters, I did not get as far as the publisher description, but I get the basic premise: teen protagonist and Wiccan Mila Flores, the pariah who does not give a shit about what people think of her, is pissed off that her best friend Riley is included with the other two students as committing suicide when Mila is sure that she was murdered. By the end of chapter six, Mila is collecting items to cast a resurrection spell. I think this is a girl book for those who like a dark, mystery with a slightly neurotic main character. If you are a reader who finds the humor in Heathers, this book is for you.
Description:
Veronica Mars meets The Craft when a teen girl investigates the suspicious deaths of three classmates and accidentally ends up bringing them back to life to form a hilariously unlikely--and unwilling--vigilante girl gang.Meet teenage Wiccan Mila Flores, who truly could not care less what you think about her Doc Martens, her attitude, or her weight because she knows that, no matter what, her BFF Riley is right by her side.
So when Riley and Fairmont Academy mean girls June Phelan-Park and Dayton Nesseth die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact. Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life.
Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders. But they do have unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer...before the killer strikes again.
