Book description
Not Quite Dead Yet - A Gripping Race Against Time
Holly Jackson's debut adult novel is a masterclass in suspense, and it arrives as an irresistibly polished package. The Barnes & Noble exclusive edition adds a touch of literary treasure: pages from Jackson's original notebook that laid the groundwork for this heart-pounding story. It feels almost like a backstage pass to the mind that conjured up Jet Mason's desperate quest.
Jet Mason is a twenty-seven-year-old heiress in Woodstock, Vermont who has been content to let life unfold at its own pace-until Halloween night turns her world upside down. A brutal attack leaves her with a catastrophic head injury and a ticking clock: seven days before a fatal aneurysm will claim her. The stakes are immediate, the tension palpable, and the reader is pulled into Jet's frantic scramble to unmask her killer before time runs out.
What makes Jackson's thriller stand out is the way she balances the high-stakes race with an intimate portrait of Jet's relationships. She never had enemies, but now every family member, ex-lover, and even a former best friend who has become a sister-in-law becomes suspect. The emotional stakes are as high as the physical ones, giving the plot layers that keep you turning pages in the dark.
The prose is crisp and engaging, with dialogue that feels authentic to each character. Jackson's background as a bestselling author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder shines through-her ability to craft twists that feel both inevitable and shocking is unmistakable. The narrative pacing is relentless; each chapter ends on a cliffhanger that compels you to read the next.
The hardcover itself deserves a nod: a custom-stamped case, beautiful endpapers, and a premium dust jacket make this edition a pleasure to hold. For fans of Jackson's work or newcomers to her storytelling, Not Quite Dead Yet is a thrilling, emotionally resonant ride that proves she has moved seamlessly from YA to adult fiction.
In short, Holly Jackson delivers a taut, character-driven thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page-making this novel an essential addition to any mystery aficionado's collection.
