Editorial Reviews

I really enjoyed "Read Me Dead" and I am a grandma, not a YA!
Emerald Barnes has crafted a compelling read: a thriller, murder, mystery, with a romantic triangle and betrayal by someone in a position of trust. This book grabbed my attention from the beginning and held my attention to the end. There were many twists and turns in the plot, and the main character experienced real trauma (physically and emotionally), not just the threat of it.

Emerald Barnes does a great job building and holding the suspense. You'll want to keep reading until the surprise ending. You might even forget the other things you were supposed to be doing!
