Pretty Little Dead Girls

""Quite possibly the best book I've read all year.""
-Maja, The Nocturnal Library
"Run, Star Girl." Bryony Adams is destined to be murdered, but fortunately Fate has terrible marksmanship. In order to survive, she must run as far and as fast as she can. After arriving in Seattle, Bryony befriends a tortured musician, a market fish-thrower, and a starry-eyed hero who is secretly a serial killer bent on fulfilling Bryony's dark destiny.
Mercedes M. Yardley's "Pretty Little Dead Girls: A Novel of Murder and Whimsy" is a dark, lovely fairy tale with lyrical language and a high body count, and features a cover by Hugo award-winner Galen Dara.
