Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door
by Lucy Score
I wanted to love this, but I just think it wasn't really my sense of humor. A lot of cheesy jokes and the main character had ways of saying things that just rubbed me the wrong way. For instance, she kept referring to her side as her "muffin top." It was clearly done in an effort to make things funnier, but then was often overused.
For a story that occurs over 18 or so days, the book was too long, and at times confusing. It was a cool idea for a mystery - a girl with psychic powers and a private investigator. But Riley Thorn had too many powers. She can not only talk to the dead, but can conveniently read minds, see the future, and also see into the past?
Lastly, we never learn her middle name, which was joked about many times, and since I'm not reading the next book... I guess I have to live with not knowing.
