Praise for The Sweet Dead Life A smart, sassy, supernatural mystery chock-full of heart, hope and fun. --New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith The Sweet Dead Life is mischief and mayhem, zippy one-liners, mystery and a tiny bit of tragedy. A-word: Awesome. --E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars There's a whole lot going on here: poisonings, blackmail, sibling relationships, romance, and abandonment, in addition to angels, but the unifying thread is Jenna's clever, bitter, self-aware, and loving voice ... Preble's lively descriptions and unusually well-drawn, caring sibling relationship (a topic not usually explored in teen fiction) are especially noteworthy. --Booklist A snarky, sarcastic murder mystery that I absolutely couldn't put down! --Jack and Jill Magazine Bizarre? Yes, very. Fun to read? Yes, very. --The Examiner Hallelujah!
