♡ Queer Horror
♡ Found Family
♡ Angst with a Happy Ending

In a world where the dead refuse to actually stay dead, and while dead himself Ian learns a few things from some unexpected friends; taking place in small town in the Appalachian (of West Virginia).  

Overall though I thought it was good, it was a romance take on a survival horror story.

While I did enjoy most of the characters and relationships, and the friendships that felt like a found family, it did take me a little to get into, the pacing was a bit slow in a few parts meanwhile at the beginning everything happened rather quickly.  It was on the younger side of YA which was difficult to really find interesting to me.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, Peachtree, and Holiday House Imprint for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
