I was a little worried since the new book stars Jessica instead of Daisy, but they are basically the same character. The mystery is fun and weird though always pretty easy to figure out. Even so, I love this series. It's fun and light.

When I first started this I wasn't all that pleased. Daisy is no longer the main character who is telling the story and it disappointed me. As I read on I began to like Jessica and this new set of characters. It is an interesting way to keep the series going.

I like the Dead Is series, I really do. It's just so predictable sometimes! In this installment, I immediately figured out that Edgar and his ant farm were behind the zombie girls. I knew right away that Selena was using her magic to make Dominic like her. And as soon as I read about Brooke's smirk after the snake debacle, I figured out that she was the one sabotaging Circe. I was really frustrated with how long it took Jessica to solve these obvious "mysteries". I seriously wanted to shake Jess and yell the answers in her face, which made the book less fun to read. However, like the other books in the series, this was a light, humorous read that I enjoyed. And the giant queen ant did manage to take me by surprise.

Pretty good. Fast paced like previous books by perez in the same series. Jessica may take some warming up to, but seems interesting. Wondering how long this series will be.

Marlene Perez has a very specific writing style. Its light, funny but keeps you flipping the pages with characters that drive you insane and ones you find yourself caring for more than you thought you did.
Dead is a battle field is the first book in a companion series to the original dead is series.
Daisy and Ryan, unfortunately don't make much of an appearance other than some side characters but this story follows Jessica Walsh. Sean's(aka Ryan's best friend/ Sam's boyfriend) baby sister. And we get a bit more tome with Flo as well as a little twist on Daisy's special jukebox. We get a singing seer.

This one took a bit of getting used to, but I still liked it. Jessica was a fun character, and can’t wait to continue the series.
