Dead Is Just a Rumor by Marlene Perez
5.0
'Dead Is Just a Rumor' is the fourth book in Marlene Perez's "Dead Is" series.
The quality of this series does not diminish in the fourth book. Daisy Giordano, now a high school senior as well as a budding psychic and telepath, is her usual spunky, curious, coffee-craving self. This time, she's worrying about how college will affect her relationship with Ryan Mendez, adjusting to living with her father Rafe again, puzzling over the mystery of Lil the jukebox, worrying about blackmail letters the town of Nightshade's supernatural residents have been receiving, and taking cooking lessons with a famous chef. Whew! That's a lot to cram into the first semester of senior year, but the fast pace is some of what makes these tales so fascinating. Kudos to Ms. Perez for keeping it interesting, and for working in the reference to Homer's [b:The Odyssey|1381|The Odyssey|Homer|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1349112871s/1381.jpg|3356006].
I can't wait for the next book, [b:Dead Is Not An Option|7430203|Dead Is Not An Option (Dead Is, #5)|Marlene Perez|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1287973754s/7430203.jpg|9408525]. I want to know what will happen to Ryan and Daisy when they go away to college.
