Dead is the new black!

You might think that from the title, this book is about a goth girl, but it is not. Actually, on the contrary. The book I am reading now is called DEAD IS THE NEW BLACK by Marlene Perez. This book has a captivating precis at the back leaving you wanting for more. Now, let me talk to you a little bit about.

This book is about a girl named Daisy. She goes to highschool like any other person, but her family is different. Here family is psychic. All her siblings and her mother are psychic except for her. Her father was normal to but left them. Daisy's best freind is Ryan Mendez. His father is a cheif police officer. They have known eachother since they have been in daipers. Their parents work together to solve crimes. With Daisy's mothers psychic abilities and a certified cheif police officer, it is perfect. It will be easier to solve crimes and cases. But Daisy never gets the attention she deserves. Just becasue she is not psychic doesn't mean that she can be traeted differently. But Daisy wants to show everyone that she can really help. Her mom's case is not going anywhere. But when she asks Daisy's sister, Daisy is furious. So she decides that maybe she could help. She meets Ryan at a Cafe and has an idea. Now I have to read and find out what her idea is and what she will be doing?

The cover of the book really affects peoples opinions. For example, on the book DEAD IS THE NEW BLACK, the cover is pink so you think it is more suitable for girls, but this is not true. Actually, it is for both genders. So always read the summary at the back of the book to find out and don't judge a book by its cover.

At the back of the book, and on the front cover, there are some reviews (quotes) about the books. They are written by famous authors. In this case, it is written by Nancy Holder, author of Pretty Little Devils. It is a teens novel for ages 12 and up.

So far, I think that this book interesting. I am not so captivated but it is good enough for me to rate it a Varadero. There isn't that many literary language used in the begining.
