Book review: The Dead and the Gone

If you enjoy books that leave you with a certain feeling... heart-wrenching despair? Just this side of utter hopelessness? A hollow, depressing fear of the future? Boy have I got a series for you!

Death Watch

I've really enjoyed some of the books and series coming out of YA Fiction these past few years, Twilight aside. I'm never touching that one. A couple of my personal favorites have been The Hunger Games and Beautiful Creatures, the former of course already made into a film and the latter well on its way. This book, Death Watch, came out last year but I'm only hearing about it for the first time:

"Critically acclaimed folklorist Ari Berk explores the worlds of the living and the dead, and the relationships between parents and children in an novel steeped in lore, mystery, and magic." Barnesandnoble.com

Sounds right up my alley, but check out the review in Publisher's Weekly to help you decide for yourself.
