Mina travels to New Orleans from the UK to visit her sister. Their relationship has been strained, to say the least. Mina is a walking horror film encyclopedia, so when she lands a position a horror movie mansion, scaring tourists who pay to see their favourite scenes reenacted, it's like a dream come true. Even better, she meets Jared, her sister's roommate whom she starts to develop feelings for. Then the murders start happening. Not only murders, but bizarre ones that eerily resemble vampire killings and New Orleans' most brutal murders from the past. Someone is out there, trying to frame them, trying to kill them, and it's up to Mina and her new friends to put a stop to it once and for all. Mina Vs The Undead is a sharp YA horror chalk full of great '90s references. It contains tight twists and a great cast of characters. It is clear that a lot of research on New Orleans and its colourful and often dark history has been conducted here. At the high school library I manage, students are always clamouring for great horror and I can't wait to get this into their hands! Recommended for ages 14+
