“A smart, sassy, supernatural mystery chock-full of heart, hope, and fun.” Cynthia Leitich Smith, New York Times bestselling author
“A snarky, sarcastic murder mystery that I absolutely couldn’t put down!” Jack and Jill Magazine
“Jenna’s sarcastic and sassy tone will easily resonate with readers, and her keen observations are derisive and laugh-out-loud funny.” Kirkus Reviews
“There’s a whole lot going on here: poisonings, blackmail, sibling relationships, romance, and abandonment, in addition to angels, but the unifying thread is Jenna’s clever, bitter, self-aware, and loving voice…Preble’s lively descriptions and unusually well-drawn, caring sibling relationship (a topic not usually explored in teen fiction) are especially noteworthy.” Booklist
“Bizarre? Yes, very. Fun to read? Yes, very.” Examiner
“The Sweet Dead Life is mischief and mayhem, zippy one-liners, mystery and a tiny bit of tragedy. A-word: Awesome.” E. Lockhart, author of The Boyfriend List
