You're Dead to Me

By: Amy Christine Parker

Narrated by: Ashley Morton

How do you unmask your own killer when everyone wants you dead?

"A twisty thriller with a bloody ending you’ll never see coming."—Kelly Coon, author of Gravemaidens

Ruby is a scholarship senior at elite Oleander High School with a chip on her shoulder and an attitude to match—which she puts to good use as the infamous local anonymous gossip blogger ReputationKiller. When she’s outed as the voice behind the account, the entire town turns against her.

But after she’s scared witless by a vision of her own ghost dressed in a blood-splattered prom dress, she is faced with an awful truth. Someone out there doesn’t just hate her—they want her dead.

With less than a week until the prom, Ruby starts investigating. Turns out Oleander Bay isn’t the picture-perfect resort town it appears to be. With so many secrets, scandals, and people hell-bent on covering them up at all costs, the murderer could be anyone. Can Ruby beat the clock counting down to prom—and her death—and survive the night?

Couldn’t put it down! I had to know who did it!

Loved this book! It kept me entertained and guessing who did it. I had sticky notes trying to solve it and was surprised with the ending.

Gripping Story and Loved the Narrator

This book gets two thumbs up! The story was exciting, funny, and scary, and it kept me guessing the whole time. The narrator was also amazing! I couldn’t stop listening to this book and finished it in a few days.

I enjoyed this book except (as an adult) the teen romance bits. I just fast forwarded them-there's not a lot. Some of the story was pretty unrealistic-if there is a killer out there, wouldn't you keep your kids home with you? seemed strange. and she makes excuses for her mom's bad choices/life which I thought was inexplicable. Most teens want to blame their parents for everything. Other than guessing the bad people,and what the whole thing was actually about, I was surprised a few times with the plot twists. Overall, I liked it

Uncertain Until the End

Not really a horror fan so I wasn’t sure about this book but I needed to read this author for the Coastal Magic Reading Challenge. I was surprised by how much I was drawn into this story. While Ruby is central to the story her friends are an important part of the story. The story takes so many twists and turns. The Mystery isn’t over until the very end. If you like YA Horror I’m sure you will love this book. #CMCon26
