** This is Book #1 in THE BEAUTIFUL DEAD trilogy. It is recommended to read this series in order. ** Book #1: The Beautiful Dead Book #2: Dead Of Winter Book #3: Almost Alive She's dead. In fact, the whole world's dead. Every single person, apparently. Unburied and reimagined into a beautiful living-dead woman called Winter, she is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in a quaint, peaceful city with no hunger, no sickness and no bills to pay. Her Second Life is perfect in every way possible. So why is she so bent on destroying it all? After angering the mayor, befriending rebel headless teenagers and igniting romance with a dark and brooding neighbor, she finds herself wrestling madly with a First Life she cannot remember and this Second Life she cannot accept. Not to mention the maniacal army of rotting corpses who want her dead. Again. But none of that matters in comparison to an even worse problem. There's a guest in her house. A rude, good-looking man on the run ... a man with a heartbeat.
