Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard

Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard

There's something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia. . . .

Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about.

Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she's just read in the newspaper:

The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.

And then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to Eleanor . . . from her brother.

Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she'll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. But as Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including the maddeningly stubborn yet handsome Daniel, the situation becomes dire. And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.

Susan Dennard has come a long way since her childhood in a little Georgia village. She traveled the world while working in marine biology, visiting six of the seven continents (she'll get to Asia one of these days!) before settling down as a full-time novelist and writing instructor. She's also the author of the Something Weird and Dangerous series and the Witchlands series, which contains the New York Times bestselling novels Truthwitch and Windwitch, as well as the illustrated novella Sightwitch. She may be found hiking with her dogs, battling darkspawn on her Xbox, or getting bruises at the dojo when she's not writing.
