Book Review: Screaming Season Possessions # 3

This is the last and final instalment of the Possession Trilogy. And Nancy Holder doesnt hold back. She bring the scary and creepy to a whole new level. Who will survive the ghost possession and who wont? Who can you trust? And who is the Marlwood stalker?

Linsday is back at Marlwood for the final time with a mission in mind, she has to get rid of Celia. She can no longer look at her reflection and she is going insane with Celia in her body. She will do whatever it takes, even if it means forming an alliance with her enemy Mandy. In this third instalment, they battle together to get rid of the ghosts of Marlwood who have reeked havoc on the grounds of Marlwood for years. There are many new alliances formed and surprise such as Lindsay will team up with Miles (Mandy's brother) for the better good. Her Ex makes a surprise entrance and her best friend Julie turns her back on her. And there is a new psychiatric at Marlwood, is he there for the good or for evil, adn what is this new character really up too?
The other thing i didn't really like was the issue with Troy it was never really clearup about what happened, so we are just left to assume things.
I thinks the best part of the book was the end or is it the end? I dont want to spoil it but lets just say i was like WTF, HOLY SHIT! Just for the end alone it is worth the read.
Nancy Holder has to be one of my fav author and she doesn't fail to impress me in her style of written and story lines. There are always original and fresh. I have to wonder where she comes up with her creepy ideas to write books like these.

Book Review: Dead Is So Last Year

Book: Dead is so last year
Author: Marlene Perez
Series book # : 3
# of pages: 192
 

This is the third installment of the "Dead Is" series and Daisy and her sisters are back with another mystery to solved in their town of Night Shade.

Back of the Book
Something very strange starts happening in Nightshade the summer that the eldest Giordano sister, Rose, gets a job working at Dr. Franken's research laboratory. People are starting to see double. Doppelgangers of Nightshade residents are popping up all over town. Daisy, Rose and Poppy think it's a coincidence, until the rumors start that their father, who disappeared several years ago, has been spotted in town.



Meanwhile, Daisy's beau, Ryan is spending all of his time training for football, and like the other guys on the team, he's grown enormous almost overnight. Samantha Devereux's boyfriend's neck has doubled in size since school ended. Could the football players be resorting to extreme measures to win?

Between summer jobs, sugar rushes, and beach parties, the Giordano girls get to the bottom of these mysteries and more.

Review
I liked the third just as much as the first two novels. There was a lot of new characters that we learn about in the book and each of them have their own connect to the new mystery in Nightshade. WE meet new characters like Slim ( Daisy's new boss), Mrs. Mason, Dr. Franken, Flo, Natalie and many more. At first when i started reading i though it was going to be about werewolves again but as you read more we learn its about Doppelgangers and their all over the town. Daisy and her sisters along with the Nightshade city council must figure out a way to not only stop them and figure out who's doing it, but we must find out what is going on with the football team her boyfriends on. They have seemed to grown huge since she last saw all of them and are the Giordano's father really back in town, and if he is why hasn't he contacted them?
This book was filled of action with many different plots, each sister is doing their own thing for the summer and there is a very big surprise at the very end of the book. At points the writing was messy and all over the place but overall a really good book to sit down and read.

The Summary
Welcome to Nightshade, California—a small town full of secrets. It’s home to the psychic Giordano sisters, who have a way of getting mixed up in mysteries. During their investigations, they run across everything from pom-pom- shaking vampires to shape-shifting boyfriends to a clue-spewing jukebox. With their psychic powers and some sisterly support, they can crack any case!


There’s a gorgeous new guy at Nightshade High: Duke Sherrad, a fortune-teller claiming to have descended from Gypsies. Even though she’s psychic herself, Daisy is skeptical of Duke’s powers. But when a teacher who was the subject of one of his predictions ends up dead, she begins to wonder if Duke is the real deal after all.

Maybe if Daisy can track down the teacher’s killer, she can find out the truth. The only trouble is, all signs point to the murderer being of the furry persuasion. Is Daisy any match for a werewolf? Maybe she is . . . in more ways than she bargained for!

Review
I really expected more from this book after reading the last one from the series. It was kinda dissapointing because it was more focused on Daisy and Ryan's slowly fading realtionship. The book was basically all about the predictable ways teens act when there in a realtionship.
There was a mystery to be solved though -  it was the murder of one of Daisy's teachers Mr. Davis and she must help determine who killed him and what their motive is.
I found the last 4 chapters were very rushed and poorly written and left me kinda of confused. Firstly she finds out who the killer is in the second last chapter when the book doesn't seem to have really ever reached a climax and secondly she introduces a new character named Bianca who I've never heard of.
So overall this was sooooo not my favorite book by far hopefully the next book in the series is better.
