After reading two emotional heavy books in a row, a nice light fluffy read was seriously in need; and who is better than Gemma Halliday and her Deadly Cool series to lighten the mood?

What I first noticed and mostly liked about the book was Sam’s attempt (which rubbed off on Hartley) to censor using alternate words like fluffing, and fudge, which reminded me a lot of:



Hartley Featherstone is still one of my most favorite female characters: she’s smart, funny, sarcastic, headstrong, and has that Veronica Mars/Nancy Drew vibe about her that makes her awesome and set her apart from the all the other Contemporary YA heroines out there.

The Twittercide was funny to investigate with Hartley, Sam, her boyfriend Kyle and the oh-so-brooding Chase. It might comes as incredulous to believe that a bunch of high school kids could lead a murder case, but with Gemma’s writing a good dose of non-cheesy humor, it was cute and I happily gobbled it all down. I wish the romance between Chase and Hart was more developed but I think they are headed the right way; hopefully things will heat up in book 3! ( )

This'll eventually be posted on my blog:


So.. I'll admit it, I've waited a few days (okay: ten, happy now?) to write this review. 'Why?' I hear you ask..

*clears throat awkwardly* Let me rephrase that: This book? In one word? Supercalifragilisicexpialidocious (yep, casually quoting Mary Poppins, so what? I never said I was normal)!

I mean, come on only my new favorite author, [a:Gemma Halliday|119376|Gemma Halliday|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1287095452p2/119376.jpg] could write up a character who could pull off saying 'Twittercide' without sound like an imbecile.


'And who is this amazing character?' I hear you ask. Well, only Hartley Grace Featherstone (I bet you forgot her middle name was Grace didn't you?) And I have to say, Hart is not only my all-time favorite Ya character, she also happens to be pretty darn amazing! And did I mention funny? If I remember correctly, I reviewed [b:Deadly Cool|10429033|Deadly Cool (Deadly Cool, #1)|Gemma Halliday|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342193303s/10429033.jpg|15333446] --though if I didn't, please shoot me, though 'Goodreadacide'?

Let me tell you, there were some major *mental face palm*-moments in [b:Social Suicide|12922364|Social Suicide (Deadly Cool, #2)|Gemma Halliday|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1319506042s/12922364.jpg|18077668]; for example: getting invited to a school-newspaper meeting by the school's resident Bad Boy Chase Erickson (umm.. yum, with extra yummyness) and mistake it for a date..

*Mental. Face. Palm.*

And hello? Even if I didn't like love [b:Social Suicide|12922364|Social Suicide (Deadly Cool, #2)|Gemma Halliday|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1319506042s/12922364.jpg|18077668] as it is, the fact that Chase was around? Totally would have won me over!

Again I say: yummyness
