Death and the Girl Next Door, Darynda Jones

 

Death and the Girl Next Door

Darynda Jones

#1 in the Darklight series

I love Darynda Jones style, she turns a paranormal romance into something funny and a lot more adventurous. Absolutely hilarious humor! The cast was full of messed up teens, whats better than that? Lorelei was a brilliant MC, a great leader and fun to read about. Brooke (my favorite character) was the super lovable best friend, along with the weirdo Glitch. Jared, crazy person and Cameron, who is over protective. Being full of rather epic characters, the book was really amazing! The plot was fast paced and full of action, I'v already recommended the book to one of my fellow action lovers! It's full of twists and surprises!

Ten years ago, Lorelei's parents disappeared without a trace.  Raised by her grandparents and leaning on the support of her best friends, Lorelei is finally beginning to accept the fact that her parents are never coming home.  For Lorelei, life goes on.

High school is not quite as painful as she thinks it will be, and things are as normal as they can be.  Until the day the school's designated loner, Cameron Lusk, begins to stalk her, turning up where she least expects it,  standing outside her house in the dark, night after night.  Things get even more complicated when a new guy—terrifying, tough, sexy Jared Kovach—comes to school.  Cameron and Jared instantly despise each other and Lorelei seems to be the reason for their animosity.  What does Jared know about her parents?  Why does Cameron tell Jared he can't have Lorelei?  And what will any of them do when Death comes knocking for real?  Thrilling, sassy, sexy, and inventive, Darynda Jones's first foray into the world of teens will leave readers eager for the next installment.
