The Gist
The Gist
Daisy and her sisters finally have a break from school work. It’s summer and their mother’s in Italy, leaving them alone in the house. To get some money, they all get summer jobs: Rose as Dr.Franken (a scientist)’s assistant, Poppy at a beach snack shack, and at her favorite diner, Slim’s. The Nightshade starts seeing double. Literally. It’s as if clones of Nightshade’s residents roam the streets. Daisy, as usual, decides that she must get to the bottom of this. But when a Doppelganger of her father appears, Daisy has to put her investigating on hold. Her new mystery to solve is whether the man claiming to be her dad is just a double, or if her father is really back in town.

This, as you may have guessed, is the third in the Dead series, and the book directly after Dead is a State of Mind. As you can imagine, this addition to the series is very similar to the first two. There’s a mystery, some drama, Daisy gets into trouble, and everything works out perfectly. Very predictable. But, if you are reading this then you must have read the first two. Which means, predictability aside, you simply have to finish the series. Like the other two, the writing was pretty good, and you do attached to the characters in the story (not as much as in some other books, but…). I didn’t like the plot of this one so much. Of the three this is definitely my least favorite. I wasn’t motivated to read it, so it sat on my bedside table for a few weeks. I felt a bit guilty whenever I looked at it, knowing I had to finish it eventually, but still not wanting to read it. After a while I got myself to finish it and ended up liking it. It’s the last of the series as far as I know, but there is a possibility that the author will write another. She left the final page the tiniest bit open-ended so she could probably go either way. I say definitely read it.
Real Teen Rating~ B : Read it, but there’s no rush.
