Apparently this is a book in a series. Just found this out by looking at the description. However, while this book was fast paced and an easy read, I feel like it didn't truly develop the characters or scenery as much as I wanted. Maybe, the first book goes more in depth with the main characters, however I also feel like the minor characters had some very brief descriptions as well. In a sense, the ending was happy, although I almost wish it wasn't to mix up typical stories.

Sequel to Au revoir, Crazy European Chick
The madcap antics of Perry and Gobi continue when the band, the Inchworms, gets a contract to do a European tour. Assassinations, kidnappings, threats, betrayals, narrow escapes, and more abound in this fast-paced action and adventure novel. There is lots to keep a reader at the edge of their seat, turning pages as quickly as they can - yet there is also some potential for confusion due to the number of characters and never quite knowing exactly who is on which side and what they are trying to accomplish. Overall, it is an enjoyable romp through Venice and Paris with dead bodies along the way.

Needed a quick mindless read and the first won was fun in that the format of him telling the story by answering college essay questions was cool. This one didn't have that and so it fell a little short for me; Gobi got predictable as well.

I really enjoyed reading about Perry and Gobi again. This book was just as light, fast, and fun as the first one. I don't think you need to read the first book to grasp what is going on (although I did read it) but I would recommend reading it because it is also very good.
Perry's Killer Playlist starts a few months after the last book ended. Perry is getting on with his life after the wild night/ killing spree with Gobi. His band has booked a tour in Europe and things are looking up. Curiosity gets the better of him however, when he decided to go and look for Gobi while in Venice. He finds her and gets sucked into another adventure. People aren't who they seem to be and soon Perry (and his family) are in danger.We get to learn more about Gobi, although this story is not a book with a lot of character growth, it is nice getting to know more about her.
This book is basically just action- and it is like watching a movie. At a bit over 200 pages long , this book packs a fast-paced, adventure filled story.

This second book in the Perry & Gobi series continues Perry’s story. After surviving a wild night with Gobi, an assassin who disguised herself as a foreign exchange student, Perry’s band is doing very well and is now touring Europe. He is dating a new girl, an older girl, who is sophisticated and completely out of his league. But when the band travels to Venice, Perry can’t help but visit Harry’s Bar, the place the Gobi said she would meet him someday. Gobi does show up, but once again she brings trouble with her. Perry is once again drawn into her world of narrow escapes, bullets, guns, murder, trust and betrayal.
Schreiber excels at creating books that are superbly readable. This sequel is only a couple of hundred pages long and reads so quickly, the pages blur. The pace is breakneck and wild, it’s a book that sweeps you up and you just have to know what happens next to these two characters. The setting of Europe lends a new vitality to the book as well. It’s a pleasure to romp through Europe with these two.
The focus is on the action in this book and less on the characters, but I was pleased to see that we got to know Perry and particularly Gobi better in this book. While she continues to be a mysterious figure, we are also shown tantalizing glimpses of what her life must have been like. Perry serves as her perfect foil, reacting humanly to all of their escapades while Gobi remains cool and calm. It probably helps that she is the one with the gun most of the time.
For fans of the first book, they will not be disappointed with the continued mayhem and action of this sequel. This is a great series to hand to reluctant readers who will appreciate the fast pace and short length. Appropriate for ages 13-16.
