Ok since apparently the only people who have reviewed this book so far don't even like the fantasy genre I'll give a stab at making a review for you guys from someone who does enjoy the genre.

I loved this book. All and I mean all of the characters were unique and very well though out. As with all of Melissa Marr's books there is a sinister secret that must be uncovered and a secret world. The story is told from at least 7 (maybe more) different character points of view usually I mind this but it was father a smooth transition from character to character in this book

I don't read a lot of zombie books so I'm not sure but I think that this was a totally unique outlook on zombies. Usually in the zombie books I've read or the shows I've watched there is some virus that creates the zombies, or some voodoo queen/king that raises them, there are none of those things in this book. In this book all that are born in Claysville must be burred there and there grave must be minded or they will rise. It is the job of the graveminder to keep the dead in the ground.

Rebekkah has had a hard life, bad things have happened in her past. However now she must go home to the place and the man she had been running from for the last nine years.

Also there are dark parts to this book but none of it was really creepy to me. I was not creeped out by the land of the dead or the characters there. I was not upset by anything written in the book and overall it could have use a little more creep factor truthfully. It was however with out that a very entertaining book that kept me turning the pages for the last 4 hours. I read it straight through not putting it down once.
