I really liked The Dead and Buried. It reminded of The Haunting of Sunshine Girl a great deal. It is the story of Jade whose mother has died and her father has remarried. When Jade's family moves from her small town to a suburb of Boston, Jade is not only thrown into culture shock but also into a house that is haunted by the teenage girl who died there. Jade's half brother, Colby, is the first one to interact with the ghost of Kayla Sloane. He calls her the "glimmering girl." Kayla was murdered in Jade's new house and wants Jade to find out who pushed her from behind when she toppled down the stairs to her death. Many suspects inhabit this story along with motives ranging from jealously to unrequited love. This story is really fast paced and enjoyable.

A haunted house, a buried mystery, and a very angry ghost make this one unforgettable thriller. Jade loves the house she's just moved into with her family. She doesn't even mind being the new girl at the high school: It's a fresh start, and there's that one guy with the dreamy blue eyes. . . . But then things begin happening. Strange, otherworldly things. Jade's little brother claims to see a glimmering girl in his room. Jade's jewelry gets moved around, as if by an invisible hand. Kids at school whisper behind her back like they know something she doesn't. Soon, Jade must face an impossible fact: that her perfect house . . . is haunted. Haunted by a ghost who's seeking not just vengeance, but the truth. The ghost of a girl who ruled Jade's school -- until her untimely death last year. It's up to Jade to put the pieces together before her own life is at stake. As Jade investigates the mystery, she discovers that her new friends in town have more than a few deep, dark secrets. But is one of them a murderer?
