Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson

A Gripping Thriller of Time, Truth, and Tenacity.

Holly Jackson’s Not Quite Dead Yet presents a thrilling and poignant story centered on Jet Mason, a sharp and sarcastic 27-year-old woman who wakes up in a hospital after a brutal Halloween attack. With a fractured skull and a looming brain aneurysm guaranteed to kill her within a week, Jet faces a grim choice: undergo a risky surgery with low odds of survival or forego it and live only days more.

Jackson’s debut adult novel combines suspense with a deeply personal narrative as Jet confronts family secrets, legacy burdens, and her own mortality.

Jackson excels not only in crafting an edge-of-your-seat plot but also in building complex characters. Jet’s biting humor and fierce individuality make her an unforgettable protagonist battling both external threats and internal family dynamics. The Mason family’s wealth and dysfunction add layers to the mystery, revealing financial intrigues and hidden resentments. Despite her physical decline, including a heartbreaking moment when paralysis hits her arm, Jet’s determination strengthens, pushing her to solve painful truths about her family and herself before her time runs out.

“Not Quite Dead Yet is a gripping thriller blending suspense with deep emotion, featuring a compelling protagonist and inventive plot.”

The Book Guide® Editor

The story’s clever premise sets it apart—a woman solving her own murder is compelling and original, and Jackson uses it to explore themes of redemption, love, and the weight of familial obligation. The suspense builds as Jet and her friend Billy gather clues, tackle suspects, and piece together the puzzle, all while Jet’s health worsens. Readers are drawn into a pressure-cooker week filled with twists, emotional confrontations, and a surprising depth beyond the surface thriller. It’s a mature, intense, and uniquely empowering tale from an author known for her young-adult thrillers, now skillfully navigating adult fiction.
