Every now and again I find a "Young Adult" series that I just can't get enough of. Think Twilight (swoon). This one however didn't quite do it for me.
I think that my little sister would like it in a few years when she is in middle school perhaps. The story is fun, compelling and has a nice little supernatural element to it. For me, it was a bit too PG to really grab my interest. There wasn't a lot of action, and the story was rather predictable. That being said, I think someone who is into other teen series would really like this one.
When the head cheerleader comes back to school from summer vacation she has a whole new look. She has traded in her sweater sets and pearls for black lace and creepy pendants. She looks dead, and plays into that by wheeling around a miniature coffin.
Naturally because she is the head cheerleader everyone wants to follow suit. Dead becomes the new black.
The problem is, the cheerleaders start dying. Something is sucking the life right out of them. Our lead character suspects Samantha the cheerleader captain, because of her new look, but soon realizes things aren't always as they seem.

I loved this book it was really cute. It had lot's of drama. The best young adult book I have ever read. Perfect book for the fall. But if you though this book was to teen you should read "The Lighthouse" by Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzni. The Lighthouse was the best mystery book I have ever read, it was filled with horror and suspense. You couldn't figure out the ending till you finished the book.
Dead is the New Black was such a good book. The first page grabbed me right away and I could ot put it down.
