MY REVIEW -
Another great book in this series! This one was fun for me to read because my friend Jen won a contest or auction or something and got to be a character in this book who gets killed - fun fun! Well you certainly don't want to see your friends get killed in real life - but in a book - its OK!
Full of young, fun, quirky and outgoing characters, this book was very easy to get into. This whole series was very quick and easy to read. Nice books for a younger teen, like I said before I think I only saw one swear word in this one too, and no sex (just one kiss).
Here are a couple cute quotes -
I found out that there will be a forth book coming out in 2014. I do hope to be reading and reviewing that one as well."Why did I always resort to verbal vomit whenever I was nervous? Made me sound like a whiny, neurotic person with a possible side order of crazy""Really? I thought Canadians were suppose to be nice."Craig smirked. "I think they generally reserve their enthusiasm for Tim Horton's coffee and hockey. The arts don't exactly fit into their hierarchy." - My hubby and I love Tim Horton's! There are 2 of them near where we live but they are originally from Canada.

ReplyDeleteAnywho, YAY for me being murdered....wait, that sounds bad.
Well if you have to be murdered, doing it in a book is definitely the way to go.
