Excerpt:
“This
is a new kind of hell. One for the living,” she said under her breath. Her eyes
moved over the locked rooms and she followed closely behind Edon. “Is this
really where crazy people go?” She'd heard of an asylum, but had never seen
one, let alone stepped foot inside one.
“I wouldn't use that word around here.”
Edon kept his voice barely above a whisper. “Just stick with me, and you'll be
fine.”

"Her greatest adventure begins with death." How could I not want to read a book with a tagline like that! Honestly though Dead Girl Walking is one I've had my eye on awhile now. It really does look good.
