I chose the book "Dead is the New Black" by Marlene Perez. I chose this book because the cover design screamed Drew ....... the cover is pink! Then I read the back summary and without a delay I bought it. It is now one of my favorite books. It has a lot of action, mystery, twists, romance, and drama. It is the type of book that you can't put down.
This book is about Daisy, a teenager. Everyone in Daisy's family is psychic, well that is except her. Daisy's mother works for the local police as a medium. When Daisy's mother asks her sister Poppy to help her solve a crime , Daisy feels left out and useless. So Daisy decides to do her own investigation. She learns that several teenage girls have been attacked all over town, including Nightshade High, where Daisy goes to school. Daisy soon has a suspect, and the suspect could possibly be a vampire. Daisy will not rest until the case is solved.
I chose the quote "It's you. And I knew your name." I feel that this quote is very significant to Daisy, because when Daisy goes undercover, posing as a cheerleader she gets caught up in being popular and looses track of who she is and what she believes in. When this is said to her by Ryan, it reels her back to reality and to who she really is. We all know what it's like hanging out with people and wondering if they are true friends. This is a crucial point in the story.
I rate this book 9 skulls out of 10 for its thrilling story and fast pace, I cared about the charecters and was terrified that something might happen to her. The action in the story is exciting.
The three reasons you should read this book is
1.It sucks you in on the first page
2. Its a great book and a fun ride
3. Its incredibly well written
I recommend this book to girls who like mysteries with an element of romance and darkness.
