Review: Dead is just a Rumor - Marlene Perez



Are you looking for a fun tween to teen mystery to solve ? Something with a bit of fun, humour and in this case rumours- though its spelt the American way.

Dead Is Just a Rumor

Review: Dead is Just a Rumor - Book #4 Dead Is.... Series - Marlene Perez- August 2010

In a faraway sleepy town called Nightshade , things aren't always as they seem . The town is filled with secrets and identities , from Vampires to Ghosts to Werewolves even Invisible men. For Daisy, she comes from a family of psychic abilities including telekinesis and telepathy's.  Daisy, her sister Rose are telepathy's and Daisy's other sister Poppy is telekinetic and their mum got the best of both worlds. Things are about to get even weirder than usual when a sorceress arrives in town by the name of Circe Silvertongue and a guidance counsellor called Miss Tray. Each with their own pasts and agendas from Circe who keeps a pet pig named Balthazar - Daisy is about to embark on a journey to find out what happened to Lily and Bam- a couple who disappeared many moons ago and it seems that the sorceress Circe is behind it. Mrs Tray it seems is part of a recruiting agency for the anti-paranormal group "The Scrouge" which everytime I kept seeing it , it made me think of Scrooge from A Christmas Carol and find out in Dead is just a rumor , the lengths that Miss Tray will go to even if it means destroying certain townsfolk like Daisy.
The story overall was great but I thought that the ending and the way the author finished about Lily and Bam could have worked out a different angle, though we may read more in the next installment.
