Reviews"What Stays Buried is a gripping ghost story full of vivid characters, heartache, wonder, love, and hope. Haunting in all the best ways!" -- Lisa McMann, NYT bestselling author of The Unwanteds and The Forgotten Five: Map of Flames "An exciting, well-paced, and well-structured plot." -- Kirkus Reviews "The novel shows strong family bonds across generations and worlds, while overarching themes of the power of love, family, and friendship make this a solid entry into horror for adventurous readers. Well-developed protagonist and solid plotting." -- School Library Journal "A high-stakes, fast-moving ghost story. Young employs spine-tingling horror tropes to drum up suspense. A consequential magic system facilitates explorations of grief and closure after loss." -- Publishers Weekly "This horror-saturated fantasy delivers a heart palpitating adventure." -- Booklist, "What Stays Buried is a gripping ghost story full of vivid characters, heartache, wonder, love, and hope. Haunting in all the best ways!" -- Lisa McMann, NYT bestselling author of The Unwanteds and The Forgotten Five: Map of Flames, Praise for Suzanne Young: "Readers will devour this fast-paced story that combines an intriguing premise, a sexy romance, and a shifting landscape of truth. With big questions still unanswered and promising twists, this first volume in a new series will leave readers primed for more." -- Booklist (starred review) "With this powerful psychological drama, Young contributes a unique, attention-worthy standout from the crowd of young adult dystopias." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "Enough plot twists to give a reader whiplash." -- Cosmopolitan "A visceral exploration of the eternal and misguided search for pain-free happiness in an almost-now Brave New World." -- Kirkus Reviews "Young's book is unrelentingly emotional and dark . . . [and] confronts readers with questions about whether the past or the present defines a person, while make[ing] a strong case for the value of all memories, good and bad." -- Publishers Weekly "[A]n entertaining, and compelling read." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "Readers will be revved up for the inevitable uprising . . . a suspenseful and timely read. Readers will look forward to the sequel." -- Kirkus Reviews "The story presents a clear, overt examination of gender and power, and it's a carefully constructed one, highlighting the complexities of a patriarchal system that is so ingrained and so absolute that even the most well-intentioned men and women unwittingly uphold it. . . . A timely, perceptive read, this will leave readers, especially those grappling with the implications of the #metoo era, anxious for the sequel." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
