I'm a huge fan of Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier, so I was excited that The Dead and Buried gives a nod to this classic tale of romantic suspense. The Dead and Buried isn't a strict retelling, like New Girl by Paige Harbison, but the similarities are there and the book emphasizes them by also having Jade's class read Rebecca in school.All in all, I found The Dead and Buried a fun and entertaining read. I would have absolutely loved it as a young teen -- it reminded me a lot of those fantastic Lois Duncan books that I used to read and re-read when I was younger. I think The Dead and Buried will appeal to fans of Rebecca and to readers who like their ghost stories mildly spooky without being truly scary.Read the full review on my blog, YA Romantics!
