If I was about 11-15 years old, I would have adored this book. It would have been my obsession. (I lived in a world of R.L. Stine Fear Street books and this is so much cooler than that) At least this series has the potential to be something awesome.
This is the story of Daisy and her two sisters
All three girls and their mother have varying psychic abilities. Now, Daisy's boyfriend is acting weird and there is a new boy in town with eyes only for Daisy.
This book was a hoot and although it doesn't have enough character development for me, I again think it would have been amazing in my eyes about twenty years ago. I am going to give this to my 12 year old step daughter to read next. I think this will receive great reviews from her.

Daisy and her sisters are back, using their psychic abilities to solve the murder of a high school teacher. But, more importantly for Daisy, will Ryan ever ask her to prom?!?!
Seriously, the biggest problem for Daisy is the prom question. While I understand that for a high schooler, whether or not
I like the idea of a town of which a good portion is supernatural in nature. Werewolves and psychics are in residence, as are shifters, apparently.
Daisy's "solving" of the mystery, though? Completely lame and outta nowhere. I felt as if Perez had a word count limit, realized she was close, then wrapped it up as quickly as she could.
Very thin plot, though Daisy could be interesting if she'd get over the need to "solve" mysteries.

This book is about a girl that is a witch and has run into a phony psychic and the "psychic" has a thing for her. It also has vampires and werewolves.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series(Dead Is The New Black) and was anxious to move onto the second and I'm so glad I did. This series so far has just been a lot of fun to read. Daisy is such a great teenager to read about mostly because, for the most part she acts like a teenager. Duke

Sherrad shows up at Nightshade High and instantly sets his sights on Daisy. This definitely causes some teenage male jealousy for Ryan, Daisy's best friend gone boyfriend. Of course Daisy is feeling more and more insecure about her relationship with Ryan because he has been very secretive lately. Plus prom is coming up quick and Ryan still hasn't asked Daisy to go with him or mentioned it at all. Now throw in a ghost disrupting the Council meetings and a new murderous werewolf in town and you've got another great Dead Is novel. I checked this book out from my fabulous local library and received no compensation for my glowing report of this book. If you've read Dead Is A State Of Mind let me know what you thought. Show Less

While this series is still a light read, it doesn’t have the backbone to make it through to much else. No emotional connection to the characters, it feels like a chapter book at times, but the content is a bit older than should be in a chapter book. There is nothing questionable for teens within
Oddly enough, the jukebox is fast becoming one of my favorite characters, right along with the sassy waitress and her even sassier t-shirts which always fit the mood of whatever is happening at the time. This book has a real murder mystery within it which leaves you wondering “who done it” until the revelation at the end.

A coworker suggested I read this series and though I was apprehensive, I did pick it up. and I fell immediately in love. The characters are fun, the plot interesting and the writing both amusing and slightly suspenseful. Daisy's from a family of psychics, but she doesn't have any powers -- or does

she? That's the basic premise of the first book, but it's mixed up nicely with a mystery for Daisy to solve, a changing relationship with her former best friend and sisters as well as a cute little love story. I really enjoyed it. Show Less
