In today\u2019s society that often encourages youth to look and act the same, The Wild Rose Press is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Dead Girl, a debut novel from Kerrie Faye that challenges the norm and goes back to 1990 following an outcast teen with unusual abilities who learns to embrace her \u201cuniqueness\u201d to escape peril. The young adult paranormal thriller will appeal to fans of Cassandra Clare\u2019s Mortal Instruments series and is set for release on February 26, 2024.<\/p>\n This first book in a planned duology centers on sophomore, Ember O\u2019Neill, a ridiculed teen who will do anything to fit in. But Ember goes from the weird girl to the tyrant of her school when she is resurrected from a deadly prank. Now secretly supernatural, she dethrones the school drama queen and snags the hot new guy, but her reign becomes at risk when the Order, a heretical sect sends an assassin to eliminate her. Ember must expose her powers and embrace who she has become, potentially losing all she has gained, to save herself and her friends as her killer closes in.<\/p>\n In this compelling paranormal thriller, the author:<\/p>\n \u2022\tFlips the stereotype with a female teen outcast taking a stand \u201cAt its core, Dead Girl, is about feeling like you don\u2019t fit in and how that experience shapes you. It\u2019s a book about learning to accept yourself and embracing what makes you unique, special,\u201d said author Kerrie Faye. \u201cIt\u2019s also a story about imperfect families, friendship, first loves, angels and demons, and conspiracy theories. While it is set in 1990, it expounds on themes that are still relevant today.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am so excited to share Dead Girl with the world. The book is special to me because it was inspired by my hometown, and it represents me, a Gen Xer over forty-something mom, who finally found her storytelling passion. I am grateful that my editor, Kaycee John, read my query and wanted to publish this book, and I can\u2019t think of a better home for Dead Girl than The Wild Rose Press.\u201d<\/p>\n Dead Girl (The Wild Rose Press, $19.99, 412 pages, paperback\/e-book, ISBN: 978-1-5092-5248-0 paperback\/978-1-5092-5249-7 digital) will be available for purchase through all major online booksellers February 26, 2024.
