I really liked The Dead and Buried. It reminded of The Haunting of Sunshine Girl a great deal. It is the story of Jade whose mother has died and her father has remarried. When Jade's family moves from her small town to a suburb of Boston, Jade is not only thrown into culture shock but also into a house that is haunted by the teenage girl who died there. Jade's half brother, Colby, is the first one to interact with the ghost of Kayla Sloane. He calls her the "glimmering girl." Kayla was murdered in Jade's new house and wants Jade to find out who pushed her from behind when she toppled down the stairs to her death. Many suspects inhabit this story along with motives ranging from jealously to unrequited love. This story is really fast paced and enjoyable. ( )

I'm kind of a weirdo. I hate being scared, but I love scaring myself. Sometimes I just sit around thinking about the scariest thing that could happen right at that moment. I also often want to believe that places are haunted and hope to someday join TAPS. Therefore, the summary of this book intrigued me big time and I just knew I needed to read it!

I went in realizing that YA and MG books are never quite as terrifying as books found in the Adult genre, but I was hoping that the creep factor would still be high. A girl was murdered in her own home and the killer is still on the loose! It was an enjoyable read, but I consistently found myself thinking that this would be the perfect Disney Channel original movie, minus the whole possession and Ouija board bit. I doubt Disney would go for that. (Anyone else remember the awesome movies of the late nineties, early two-thousands? Basically just about everything prior to High School Musical.) Basically what I'm saying is that the creep factor isn't quite there but it's a fun read for those nights you're missing the heyday of Disney or TGIF on ABC. ( )

OMG what a great book! I hadn't read anything my Harrington before, but I surely will now! First off, I got this book through GR first reads program, so thank you SOOOO much! I had a bunch on my to-read list so it took me longer to read this than it should have, but now that I have I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner. It gripped me from page one and I was hooked. Who doesn't love a good ghost story after all? But add in some mystery, suspense, possession, and even a bit of romance and it was just all I could ask for in a paranormal book. I was happy with the way things tied up at the end too. It wasn't all cheesy and everyone lives happily ever after, it was more realistic than that. Well done Miss Harrington, consider me a fan! ( )

My Thoughts:
This book was great. I think the best way to describe this is to say it is a murder mystery, wrapped up in a ghost story.

A girl and her family move into a new house, and strange things start happening. She finds out from kids at the school that her new home is a “murder house”, where a student had died. Not just any student, this towns “leader” of the local “mean girls”. This book has ghosts, mean girls, broody hot guys, a murder mystery, and family drama.

I enjoyed the characters in this one.

Plot wise, I loved the “mystery” aspect of the book. So much so that I didn’t even mind the romance.

In Conclusion:
I *loved* this book! As in, read it in a day – loved it! Emotionally, I was everywhere from on the edge of my seat – to sobbing into my covers. I liked this book so much, it ended up on my favorite reads of 2012 list! I definitely say read it! Especially if you are a fan of YA, “ghost stories”, and murder mysteries!

This was also my first Kim Harrington book, and I am looking forward to picking up more of her books in the future!

Mom Notes:
A little on the scary side. Might cause one to question ones faith: “What happens after you die” etc. Would recommend for 12(ish)
