@CuriosityQuills #Review of Deadgirl by B.C. Johnson

Dead is such a strong word . . .

Lucy Day, 15 years old, is murdered on her very first date. Not one to take that kind of thing lying down, she awakens a day later with a seemingly human body and more than a little confusion. Lucy tries to return to her normal life, but the afterlife keeps getting in the way.

Zack, her crush-maybe-boyfriend, isn't exactly excited that she ditched him on their first date. Oh, and Abraham, Lucy’s personal Grim Reaper, begins hunting her, dead-set on righting the error that dropped her back into the spongy flesh of a living girl. Lucy must put her mangled life back together, escape re-death, and learn to control her burgeoning powers while staying one step ahead of Abraham.

But when she learns the devastating price of coming back from the dead, Lucy is forced to make the hardest decision of her re-life — can she really sacrifice her loved ones to stay out of the grave?
 About the Author

Biography

Born in Southern California, B.C. Johnson has been writing since he realized it was one of the few socially acceptable ways to tell people a bunch of stuff you just made up off the top of your head. He attended Savanna High School in Anaheim, and an undisclosed amount of college before deciding that weird odd jobs were a far greater career path.

This lead him to such exciting professions as: aluminum recovery machinist, lighting designer, construction demo, sound mixer, receptionist, theater stage hand, wedding security, high school custodian, museum events manager, webmaster, IT guy, copywriter, and one memorable night as the bouncer at a nightclub. He is trying very hard to add "vampire hunter" and "spaceship captain" to that list.

He currently lives in Garden Grove with his supernal wife Gina, and his half-corgi, half-muppet dog Luna. He also spends time with his two brothers, his parents, and his close friends, whose primary pursuit are usually healthy debates about movie minutiea. When he's not working or writing, he's been to known to pursue all conceivable geeky avenues of interest including but not limited to video games, the sort of TV shows/movies Benedict Cumberbatch might star in, graphic novels, podcasts, funny gifs, the whole thing.

He's also been known to apply his special brand of hyperbole and mania to pop-culture humor essays for various websites that can be found on his homepage, bc-johnson.com. B.C. also has a high school noir short story called "The Lancer" available on Kindle. He also has a story in the Curiosity Quills "Chronology" Anthology, available for Kindle and paperback.

Deadgirl is his first novel.



This one for me turned into a take it or leave it. Although the main character was great.  A lot of the book was confusing I was amazed that this was written by a guy as the dialogue of Lucy was also real.  I loved how she used her humor to get through situations as well.  The story itself was ok although confusing at times. It was a pretty fast read.  

Ok im upping my rating lol.  This is better than a take it or leave it.  


Ya it was awesome!
