Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch

By: Codie Crowley

Narrated by: Justis Bolding

THEY THINK THEY KILLED A GIRL.
THEY ONLY MADE A MONSTER.

Annie Lane was murdered, but that won’t slow her down. The mountain her body was dumped on is legendary for raising the dead—so after waking up in the same frigid water that hides her corpse, Annie surges into her backwoods hometown hell-bent on revenge.

The problem is, Annie can’t remember who killed her … and the list of people who might have wanted to isn’t exactly short. There’s her toxic mom, who spends her rare sober moments ripping Annie a new one. There’s her boss at the diner, who’s always been a little too friendly. And there’s her cheating ex and his creepy bandmates, who are just shit-brained enough to think they could get away with it.

All she has to go on are tequila-fogged memories and a bloodstained leather jacket, but Annie won’t stop until she gets what she came for.

SOMEONE KNOWS THE TRUTH.
SOMEONE IS TO BLAME.
SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO ANNIE LANE.

Furious, fast-paced, and darkly funny, Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch is at once a propulsive mystery and an exhilarating love letter to anyone who’s ever been told to be a good girl—or else.

“A wholly original exploration of what it means to be a modern female, with a depth of rage that echoes into the afterlife.”—MINDY McGINNIS, Edgar Award–winning author of The Female of the Species

unique story, great characters, and a joy to listen to. I recommend to anyone who likes fun horror stories.

I don't have any dislikes in this book. This book was a joy to listen to.

One of the best reads I've had this year! 🖤🪦🖤

Wow! I completely devoured this book! It was a truly unique and refreshing experience, unlike anything I’ve encountered before. The supernatural elements were fascinating, weaving an intricate tapestry that kept me on the edge of my seat. I was genuinely surprised by the unexpected twist at the end—it was brilliantly executed! The conclusion was nothing short of perfect, wrapping up the story in a way that left me both satisfied and in awe. This book has definitely carved its place as one of the best reads I’ve had this year.

Gahhh my heart!!

Gahhhh! I swear this book just makes me want to squeeze my favorite people cuz you never know how much time you have left with them. My heart broke over and over for Annie. People really didn't care about her. It was so sad when she mentioned how she felt when she saw people going on with life unaware of her death, and how it just kept moving on. The book ended on a happier ending than I thought possible, but I'm still heart broken for her.

Incredibly impressed

This book clocked me at every turn. At every guess I had, this book mentioned it moments after the thought occurred just to say “WRONG”. I was genuinely surprised. Can’t wait for more!

Jennifer's Body but make the MC Nesta Archeron!

I absolutely loved this book. The narration, storyline, creepy descriptions and the characters make HLAVB a great spooky read! The MC is such a tough ass b**ch without it being corny! I thought I knew who the bad guy was but I was totally wrong! I follow Codie on tiktok, and can't wait to see what else she puts out!

absolutely loved it!

it's thrilling, it's suspenseful, it kept me guessing all the way to the end! A truly spooky murder mystery with a supernatural twist. As an October baby and Halloween lover I give this book 5 stars, it has all the cozy autumn details mixed with the classic Halloween horror vibes and the plot is infectious! Definitely recommend for a spooky season read!

Wow a thrilling wild ride

Fantastic story, entertaining, funny, extremely cool and a thrilling mystery!!! I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the story and she was so clever it truly remains a mystery to the end. LOVED It!!

It’s giving 90s R.L. Stine vibes and I’m here for it

Remember when you read R.L. Stine under the covers with a flashlight waaaaay past your bedtime? This is the equivalent of that. I consumed the audiobook and now I need the trophy book. Absolutely loved it and stayed up way too late listening to it.

Not what I was expecting

This story was so good! I was totally caught off guard by where things ended up. The characters, the twist, and the found family dynamic were all just perfect. It honestly felt like I was watching a movie play out! My only note is more of an explanation on Sam and the girl on fire.

Vengeful Justice

I love the story line & the Characters the developments throughout the book. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but once you get through the first few chapters it hooks you. I can’t wait for Codie’s next chapter.
