In Undead Girl Gang, did you enjoy ...

... the necromancy-adjacent gallows humor and ride-or-die best-friend loyalty?

My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix

If you loved how Mila cracks jokes through grief while raising Riley (and even Dayton and June) from the dead—and how that devotion fuels every wild choice—then you’ll vibe with Abby’s relentless, foul-mouthed, 1980s crusade to save her best friend from a demonic possession in My Best Friend’s Exorcism. It balances creeps and cackles the same way Mila’s seven-day undead caper does, turning horror into a love letter to messy, undying friendship.

... a grief-fueled paranormal teen investigation that pries open small-town ‘suicides’ and secrets?

The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould

Mila’s raise-the-dead plan to prove the girls didn’t kill themselves—and the clue-hunting that follows—maps neatly onto Logan and Ashley’s hunt for what’s killing boys in Snakebite. Like the cemetery stakeouts and spellwork in Undead Girl Gang, this delivers eerie encounters, prickly alliances, and a twisty path from rumor to revelation, all driven by teens who refuse to accept the official story.

... Latinx witchcraft, calling back the dead, and breaking rules for the people you love?

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

If Mila’s rule-bending necromancy—midnight rituals, candlelit circles, and a ticking deadline—had your heart, Yadriel’s secret ceremony to summon a spirit will, too. Like Mila bantering with Riley’s ghost and wrangling snark from the resurrected mean girls, Yadriel’s bond with Julian’s spirit brings humor, heart, and danger as magic gets messy and love complicates everything.

... fierce, complicated teen girls banding together to face a predatory supernatural threat?

Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand

If you were all-in on Mila, Riley, June, and Dayton evolving from sniping to sisterhood under pressure, Sawkill Girls offers that same steel-spined energy. Three girls—Marion, Zoey, and Val—clash, crack, and ultimately converge to fight a lurking horror, with the same sharp dialogue, complex loyalties, and girl-powered pushback that made the undead trio’s alliance so satisfying.

... mean-girl cliques morphing into a misfit coven through questionable magic and killer jokes?

We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry

Loved watching Mila turn sworn enemies into a snarky, supportive squad—complete with snacks, spells, and late-night scheming? This novel follows a field hockey team that dabbles in witchy pacts, transforming rivalry into a chaotic, hilarious sisterhood. It’s the same “from side-eye to solidarity” arc you got when June and Dayton joined Mila and Riley for one unforgettable week.
