Lilly Anderson deftly created a well thought out and original story in Undead Girl Gang!

So this was honestly quite an unexpected read for me. The basic story, in a nutshell, follows Mila (Camilla Flores) who brings back her best friend, Riley & 2 mean girls (Dayton & June) from the dead after the 3 girls die within a week of each other in what the police claim are suicides. Mila knows Riley would never kill herself and she is determined to uncover the real killer.

Honestly, the mystery within the book was so much better than I imagined! The twists were fun and even when things were predictable for me (the mean girls turn out not to be so bad after all, everyone becomes friends after death when they wouldn't have in life, etc) I felt that the stereotypical high school "drama" was an integral part of the story/plot and fit well.

The book was beyond entertaining - it was dark but also witty & laugh out loud funny at times. The mystery kept me guessing. The characters were diverse, fun & there was so much witty sarcasm in the dialogue (I love me some witty sarcasm!). The tale of friendship woven into the story was also quite unique - Riley & Mila, social outcasts who find each other & delve into wicaan practices together. Their friendship was a true lifeline for each other - even in death (or the undead in this case). This is an undead friendship story you won't want to miss.
