A review by l1brarygirl
Dead is a Killer Tune by Marlene Perez
2.0
Review contains spoilers
I will come out and just say it - this "spin-off" series is just not cutting it for me. Book #8 ([b:Dead Is Just a Dream|17165986|Dead Is Just a Dream (Dead Is, #8)|Marlene Perez|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1363078695s/17165986.jpg|23592773]) just came out and I will not be reading it.
Is it just me or does it seem like these books keep getting shorter and shorter? Book #6 was 240 pages, this book was 204, and Book #8 - 176 pages! I don't think you can really get a good story in that short of time. I also took issue with that fact that the summary on the back cover is misleading! You can read it above in the summary. It refers to Dominic as Jess's boyfriend. Excuse me???! Hate to spoil it for you readers, but they aren't even dating for most of this book! My thoughts on him are already clear and this book just reinforced them.
Two things I did like:
1. Jess goes out of her comfort zone and joins a band! Go girl!
2. This book wasn't exactly a "mystery" but there were some red herrings and we aren't positive who the pied piper is - way to challenge us!
I recommend this book for younger readers that are looking for a fluffy, light read.
