Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Death and the Girl Next Door (Darklight #1)

Death and the Girl Next Door - Darynda Jones

I don't read a ton of YA, and I picked this one up especially because I'm a huge fan of Ms. Jones' Charley Davidson series. I loved this book, I picked it up and did not put it down again until I'd read the last page *and* the excerpt from the next book.

 

All the great witty dialogue I've come to expect and adore from Ms. Jones writing, set in a teen universe. I love the strong focus here on the mythology of Angels, although I wouldn't have normally picked up a book 'about' angels. All of the characters are just excellent, and the word play amongst them all is just a pure joy to read, although I worry about Glitch and his place in all of this.

 

I just had a really great time reading this story and I eagerly await the next book.
