Dead Is
review 1: Sophomore Jessica Walsh is concerned about her fellow citizens in Nightshade, California, since so many of them are dying in mysterious ways. When this teen female warrior and her friends set out to solve the mystery of these deaths, they encounter the deadly night mare, a horse that rides through the town, possibly bringing violent ends to others. Or could the murders be traced to the bizarrely macabre artwork on display in some of the victim's homes? While Jessica tries to figure all this out, she is also contending with the arrival of her boyfriend's former girlfriend who wants Dominic back. What's a girl to do? Fight for her guy, of course. There is plenty of action, suspense, and freakiness in the book, enough to satisfy middle graders for a taste for the ghoulish but... more not intended to frighten them to death.
review 2: I didn't realize this book had come out yet until I found it at the library. Guess it was my lucky day. I spotted it and grabbed it. I couldn't wait to start it when got home. I have been reading this series for about two years and this is the eight book. I thought it was a cute, short, easy, and funny read. I was able to understand it and finish it quickly because the chapters were short and it was pretty easy to read. I liked the plot and thought that the powers the characters had were really cool and I wish I had powers like that. The plot was good and I liked how it left some suspense at the end of the chapters. But one thing I didn't like was that some parts just went a little fast. Something happens and then another thing happens and it explains it in like two sentences. I guess if it didn't go so quickly, it would have been longer. But all in all this was a pretty good book and I can't wait to see what happens next in the town of Nightshade and what our fellow warriors Jessica and her friends to do stop it. Enjoy this book and more to come!Also my copy of the book that I got from the library was hardcover and had a short story in it that is only available in the first printing. The story was only about four pages and it was set six years later and on Daisy and Ryan. it was titled "She loves me, she loves me not" and it was so cute. It was about how Ryan proposed to Daisy! I was so excited to read it! They're gonna get married. Somehow, earlier in the series I just knew it! But I was excited to read about it too! Well, I was just lucky enough that it was in my copy of the book. I am such a lucky girl!!!! less
