Update: I'm SOO SOOO excited to be on the ARC blog Tour for SS&D! I can't wait to start reading it!
The cover is so beautiful and the premise is enticing!
Zombies + Spirit-Hunters + handsome invetors *swoons* = winning

Oh. My. God. IN LOVE! This book takes the walking dead to a whole new level! This whole book keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what Eleanor is going to do next!
Eleanor is so amazing. I kind of feel bad because her mother is horrible, she doesn't know where her brother but knows somehow is with the dead. Throughout this book Eleanor takes risks she doesn't even know she is taking and she is brave, stubborn and doesn't really care what people think about her. S More...

Based on ARC.
This book brings the walking dead to a whole new level.
Eleanor Fitt is a witty, likeable character whose life has taken a chaotic turn. Her brother is missing. Her family has fallen on hard times, and to make matters worse, her overbearing mother is determined to see her married. Set in high society, the world building takes off with a mix of corsets and parasols. There is a necromancer on the loose who has taken control. The dead are rising.

I have had the opportunity to read not only this book, but the second one in the series as well, and WOW. The mixture of high society and the supernatural is *wonderful*. Eleanor is a witty, strong heroine, and the cast of characters to support her are fantastic! Namely, Allison Wilcox, a flighty, gossipy, beautiful young lady of Philadelphia's upper crust, and of course the Spirit-Hunters, a Ghostbusters-type motley crew that uses steam-and-electrical powered inventions instead of proton-packs

I guess I should clarify first that I read a draft of the book being published. ;)
It's not out yet -- I'm lucky enough to have Susan for a friend -- but this book is already a big hit to me. I can't wait to read her other books! SSD is full of plot twists that you won't suspect and characters that are just plain badass cool. There's a sense of humor even in the dark scenes and lingering emotions that will have you all jittery to read the next book.

Let me just say upfront that this book surprised me in the best way possible. I knew very little going in, and the cover lead me to believe the book would be filled with glitz and glamor and pretty dresses; a quieter type of read. There were plenty of corsets and parasols, but oh my goodness is this book packed with action! And when I say action I mean zombies, and escapes, and chases, and spirits, and scandals! Eleanor is such a fabulous protagonist — she is determined and stubborn but incredib

I loved this book! Eleanor breaks the mold of "traditional" heroines and is so very endearing. The historic setting of the story felt very authentic all the way through (with some wonderful steampunk-ish touches and some wonderfully creepy dead-men-walking, of course!), and I was completely swept along by the story. It feels strange to say this before book 1 is out on shelves yet, but I cannot wait for book 2!

This book is fantastic. Eleanor, the main character, is strong, smart and everything a good heroine should be. This is going to be THE book of 2012, and I'm already itching to read the sequel!
