Dead is the new black - Marlene Perez

 I read 'Dead is the new black' by Marlene Perez, in November and it was so C-O-O-L. Its all about mystery and supernatural!(Good combination). Some of the  main characters are, Daisy Giordano, Poppy Giordano, Ryan Mendez, and Samantha Devereaux. Daisy has just got back from her summer vacation to Italy, but only with her sisters and her grandmother. Her mother is a psychic investigator, she works with Mr. Mendez/Ryan's dad, and she got caught up with a case in Italy, so her sisters and her are alone at home until their mom comes. Ryan is her boyfriend, he is a werewolf and he plays for the school's football team. Poppy, is Daisy's bigger sister and she is still upset with her ghost boyfriend. Samantha, is her best friend and her boyfriend, Sean, is best friends with Ryan, that's what Ryan thinks. Her neighborhood, Nightshade, has a lot of supernatural stuff going on, vampire, werewolf, but this time, it's 'Doppelgangers', they are an evil twin/clone of someone. Someone has been making them! She found out that one of her sister's boss, was a doppelganger. Doppelgangers have chunks of memories from the real twin but they love sugar, they would die without it~!. When she was 12, her dad left her family for an experiment(he was a scientist) and after he just disappeared, there are rumors that he started a new family but Ms. Giordano believes its about something else. While Daisy's mom was away, people kept saying Mr. Giordano is back in town, and once in the afternoon he went to her house and she was in shock, she saw the same keys and the same key chain she gave him '#1 dad'.He even had the same scent and handsome look. Could it be her real dad? Or is it a doppelganger? Should she call someone? 



If you love a story that has a little bit of romance, mystery, and fantasy, than this is the right book! :D make sure you read her other books~ (Dead is a new state of mind, Dead is the new black).

I would rate this a...

  1. You introduced the characters and how they were related.
    Is the DAD cloned ???
    Maybe you could put a Quote of the book (It would make a good hook).

  2. Aisyah,

    This looks like a really interesting. The title is very funny. How did you find this book? Was it in our class library, or did a friend recommend it to you? My only recommendation is that you go back and edit this and create paragraphs. It will be easier to read.

    Mr. Martin
