OrangeReviewStarRebekkah Barrow's grandmother Maylene always has tended to the dead of Claysville by proclaiming, "Stay where I put you." And with good reason. The worlds of the living and the dead meet in their little town, and only the Graveminder—a Barrow woman—and the undertaker have the means to keep them down. Bek never knew any of this until she returns to town upon Maylene's murder. Author of the worldwide best-selling YA series "Wicked Lovely," Marr ventures into adult territory for the first time. Sounds intriguing, and there's big in-house support, plus a six-city tour.
