I Woke Up Dead at the Mall

By: Judy Sheehan

Narrated by: Cassandra Morris

Judy Sheehan's debut young adult novel is a terrifically fun listen that also tackles some of life's - and the afterlife's - big questions.

Last night Sarah was a bridesmaid, dressed in a hideous mango chiffon. Today she wakes up dead at the Mall of America. This is where the universe sends teenagers who were murdered. In fact most malls are haunted. The living don't notice it, what with all the bright lights, sales, and free samples. The dead just pass through them while finishing up the business of their former lives.

As Sarah and her fellow dead teenagers work together to move on, she hits just a few complications: Sarah discovers an uncanny ability to haunt the living, and while she has no idea who killed her, she knows the one person she loves back on Earth is in grave (yes, grave) danger. Meanwhile, she's falling madly and badly for Nick, who died heroically saving his girlfriend. Sarah can't let these distractions put her at risk of being doomed to relive her final moments again and again. But how can she stop her killer from killing again?

Love

The whole book was well written and well read. I loved the whole book as it was entertaining and interesting.

Beautiful Story

I thought this would be a cute fluffy story and found more. It has a message that resonated with my soul.

Great story, lovely writing

I’m an adult YA reader. I really loved this book. Fun idea and plot and very well written. I also really liked the narrator. She does guy voices without sounding weird. Many narrators of adult books have such weird male voices it takes me out of the story. Highly recommended!

Good Lighthearted Reading

What did you love best about I Woke Up Dead at the Mall?

I loved the dark humor and the escape this book offered me. I've read a few more serious books recently and ended up picking this book when I was looking to de-stress. The love story part was a tad bit annoying at times (and I'm usually a hopeless romantic), but it didn't ruin the overall story. I think the best part of this book for me was Sarah's internal thoughts and her pondering over questions.

Totally awesome!

I LOVED this book! The story was funny and sad and joyful. It was awesome all the way through!

The narrator is a favorite of mine. She always does an excellent job!

Highly recommended.
