Dead Is So Last Year by Marlene Perez

5.0

In this third and strangest installment in Marlene Perez's "Dead" series, Daisy Giordano (now 17) comes face to face with a man who looks exactly like her long-missing father, Rafe. Where has he been all these years, and why hasn't he tried to contact Daisy, her mother or her two sisters? The answer may have something to do with the sugar-craving doppelgangers* running around town (especially the area of Nightshade around the donut shop.) Budding foodie Daisy has a weakness for chocolate and caffeinated beverages, but even her sweet tooth is no match for that of the creepy doubles. There's also a pack of ill-behaved werewolf pups on the loose. Between that and her new job at Slim's, it's amazing Daisy has time for solving paranormal mysteries...or snuggling up to her boyfriend Ryan. This teen psychic has amazing time management skills! This is a fun series, and I look forward to the fourth installment, [b:Dead Is Just A Rumor|7430195|Dead Is Just A Rumor (Dead Is, #4)|Marlene Perez|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1285102317s/7430195.jpg|9408497].

*Quick language lesson: "Doppelganger" comes from the German for "double goer." Quick lit lesson: the ultimate doppelganger story is "William Wilson" by Edgar Allan Poe.
