I am enjoying this series a lot. This one has us back in Nightshade and more paranormal activity happens. The Giordano family return from vacation and have some excitement once they return.

This book is the 3rd in the series and I am loving as much as I have the other 2 books I have read. I will be looking for more in this series at my library. ( )

These books are so much fun. This time we have more hairy werewolf excitement and Daisy and her sisters are facing a new threat-- dopplegangers. I enjoy this quick reads. The sisters are so much fun and the high school setting is pretty realistic for a magical town. The topic of bullying is covered in this book and it is handled very well. These books are suitable for teens and tweens. ( )

3rd in the Dead Is series. More trouble comes to Nightshade. I liked the 2nd book better than this one. It seemed to have a lot of different storylines for 192 pages. ( )

Mom Giordano had taken the Giordano women Daisy, Rose, Poppy and Grandma to Italy for a surprise vacation and the girls had returned with Grandma leaving mom in Italy on continuing business. The girls are staying by themselves in Nightshade with Grandma checking in once or twice a week. Poppy had recently broken up with her first serious boyfriend, a ghost, and had been moping around the graveyard instead of celebrating her recent graduation from Nightshade High. Rose had a research job at the local college with Dr. Franklin who was studying genetics. Poppy was working part time at a concession on the beach. Daisy was interviewing at Slim's, an old time diner and hang out for the High School crowd. She loved to cook and hoped to become a Chef once she finished High School. Her boyfriend and Samantha's, her best friend, were on the football team. Nightshade had a secret, it was a refuge for a large number of extraordinary individuals, "weres" (Daisy's boyfriend, Ryan, is a recently turned werewolf), invisible's (Slim, the owner of the diner is one), witches and the Giordano's who exhibited psychic abilities (the girls mother worked as a psychic detective and frequently assisted the Nightshade police department). Things turned strange shortly after the girls return from Italy. A pack of young werewolfs chased the girls and they narrowly escaped. Dopplegangers started appearing around town, duplicates of members of the police department, the girls missing father, the school principal and numerous others. They were evident by their lust for sugar. The girls and their boyfriends started to investigate while dealing with the angst of being teenagers in love. Their activities are entertaining and of course, the good side wins out. Not deep but, fun! ( )

As with the previous book, character development seems to be one of Perez's strong suits, along with snappy dialogue. I quite enjoyed this installment. ( )
