Summary:
Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that’s not the problem.
The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it’s not a fiery inferno, it’s certainly no heaven. It’s gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn’t leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what’s really on her mind.
Bonesaw.
Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she’s figured out just how to do it. She’ll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It’ll be brutal... and awesome.
But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen’s obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she’s willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.
Velveteen can’t help herself when it comes to breaking rules... or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.
Why I am lurking on this: This was around for a while, and I'm definitively growing attached to all the dead-undead-revenge chases that popp up. Velveteen sounds like an awesome kick-ass girl, so I wanna meet her. ^.^
I'm so excited for this one! So creepy! Solving your own murder but damn right I would find him and make him pay before I moved on!

This does sound really good, Caro. I have it for review and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into it soon 🙂

Yeah, this does sound totally great. 😀 I love books that toy with what we might find after death, and I am often intrigued by characters that want revenge. Especially when the reader may be torn over whether it's justified. Great pick!
