i have no idea why i read this. (this is a rant so its probably a good idea not to read it if you dont want spoilers)It wasnt the best decision in my life.. and it was probably one of those rare books where i felt nothing towards the "hero".. not even a little bit. Its sad really. I like the guy who...

My Rating: 1.5 Death and the Girl Next Door is a DNF book for me at page 159, halfway through the book. Why? Two main reasons: the plot and Lorelei.First, the plot made no sense whatsoever. In fact, it got so ridiculous that I just rolled my eyes, sighed in disbelief, slammed the book shut, and neve...

Original review is posted here: http://www.yourentertainmentcorner.com/?p=30798I had high hopes for Death and the Girl Next Door but was disappointed for a few reasons. First, the story isn’t focused. Our protagonist, Lorelei, seems like your typical teenager—hence the book’s title—but she isn’t. Sh...

Where do I start with this… It has the snark and humor that I expect from Darynda but for some reason it fell a little flat for me.

I loved this book, I picked it up and did not put it down again until I'd read the last page *and* the excerpt from the next book. All the great witty dialogue I've come to e...

"Because you move like fire rushing across a floor, like flames licking up a wall. Your energy is liquid and hot. Even from a distance you burn, you scorch anyone who gets too close. You are wine on my tongue and honey in my veins, and I cannot get enough of you. You intoxicate me, Lorelei McAlister...

Debating between a 3 and 4 stars. Not sure I'm a fan of the insta-love.

"Death and the Girl Next Door" represents a smorgasbord of every YA paranormal stereotype there is and couples it with a bag of chips. Well, maybe not with a bag of chips, though I almost wish the chips were there, because then it would at least provide something different to the mix.Long story sho...

I read this book because I thought the title was funny and I wanted a light read. And it was exactly that, there were some really fun moments but the story line was still surprisingly good. The cover had me worried that there was going to be a cheesy teen love triangle but I am happy to say that nev...
