Synopses & Reviews
Redemption and grief, and the love that exists even when people are gone.
-The Bookbag.
Not alive. Not dead. Somewhere in between lie the Beautiful Dead.
There's been no sign of the Beautiful Dead for weeks. Darina achingly misses Phoenix all over again. Surely he will return to help solve the remaining mysteries. It's been almost a year since Arizona drowned in Hartman Lake.
Suicide, it would seem. But something doesn't add up...Drowning herself in the lake does not sound like strong, confident, Arizona: Ellerton high school's high-maintenance drama queen.
Darina must help Arizona the way she helped Jonas. But invisible wings are beating, the Beautiful Dead are in danger, and time is running out...
Compelling characters coupled with a powerful mystery. A real page turner.

Synopsis
Darina's only chance for immortal love is to sacrifice everything for an enemy...
Darina has always loathed prickly, arrogant Arizona but after weeks with no sign of the Beautiful Dead, Darina is willing to put up with anything if it means seeing her undead boyfriend, Phoenix. With less than two months before Arizona's time is up, Hunter returns with the Beautiful Dead and demands that Darina live up to her promise to help them.
"What's the hottest new supernatural trend post-vampires and werewolves? It's emo zombies! The hip, young living dead in Eden Maguire's Twilight-ish new book series "Beautiful Dead "are totally cool..." "-Seventeen"
"This is a fun read that blends elements of several genres, and teen girls will empathize with Darina and her love and grief for Phoenix. " "-School Library Journal"
