"Shallow Graves" was a book that I thought tried to branch out, but it REALLY didn't work for me. I thought that this novel could have used better transitions and more developed storyline. The beginning of the novel was amazing! The story started to become very interesting, but after the first 100 pages, I started to lose interest. Breezy is a wonderful character that went through an interesting change. I wouldn't read it again.
Synopsis
Breezy remembers leaving the party: the warm, wet grass under her feet, her cheek still stinging from a slap to her face. But when she wakes up, scared and pulling dirt from her mouth, a year has passed and she can’t explain how.
Nor can she explain the man lying at her grave, dead from her touch, or why her heartbeat comes and goes. She doesn’t remember who killed her or why. All she knows is that she’s somehow conscious—and not only that, she’s able to sense who around her is hiding a murderous past.
Haunted by happy memories from her life, Breezy sets out to find answers in the gritty, threatening world to which she now belongs—where killers hide in plain sight, and a sinister cult is hunting for strange creatures like her. What she discovers is at once empowering, redemptive, and dangerous.

This book seems so interesting! I thought it would be engaging from beginning to end. Great review though :)
