Mini-Review: Living Dead Girl

 
 Author: Elizabeth Scott 
Title: Living Dead Girl 
Pages: 176
Genre: YA
Release Date: September 8, 2009


Synopsis: 
 Once upon a time, I was a little girl who disappeared.Once upon a time, my name was not Alice.
Once upon a time, I didn't know how lucky I was.
When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends — her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.

Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.
This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.

Review:
Living Dead Girl is another one of those books that affects you tremendously while reading it. It's very emotional and at some point disturbing, but the connection that's formed with Alice will keep you reading. The characters have such emotion behind them and Elizabeth Scott was able to beautifully construct this story in so few words. When it comes to this book, I'm kind of speechless because no amount of words can describe how powerful and impactful (I made up my own word, that's how awesome it was =D) it is.

Final Words: READ IT, WOW, READ IT

I haven't read anything by Elizabeth Scott though I've heard her books are good. This one looks like a short yet gripping read. :)
