Synopsis

We Were Liars meets Riverdale with a supernatural twist in this timely #metoo thriller about mean girls, murder, and race in a quiet Midwestern suburb. Violet Choudhury may be part of the popular clique at school, but as one of a handful of brown girls in a small Illinois town, all she really wants to do is blend in and disappear. Unfortunately for her, she’s got a knack for seeing spirits, including the dead—something she’s tried to ignore all her life. But when the queen bee of Violet’s cheerleading squad ends up dead following a sex tape that’s not as consensual as everyone wants to believe, Violet's friends from the spirit world decide it’s the perfect time for Violet to test her skills and finally accept the legacy of spiritual fighters from whom she’s descended. Her mission? Find the killer. Or else she’s next.

A great companion for "Undead Girl Gang" and "The Babysitter's Coven." And any novel where POC talk about the "no, where are you REALLY from?" game and being described as "exotic" as a negative has my heart.......more

Goodreads review by Marko on March 01, 2024

Lukioikäisten maailman hierarkioita, ihmissuhdedraamoja, pikkukaupungin pakonomaista kasvojensäilytystä sekä ihonvärin ulkossulkevuutta elävästi kuvattuna. Mutta, sen lisäksi myyttisiä hirviöitä, esiäideiltä perittyjä vahvoja supervoimia, verta, suolenpätkiä ja kuolemaa ja sen toisella puolella seik......more
