Week 5 Review: Deadly Cool

From Goodreads:
Hartley Grace Featherstone is having a very bad day. First she finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her with the president of the Herbert Hoover High School Chastity Club. Then he's pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And if that weren't enough, now he's depending on Hartley to clear his name. Seriously? Not cool. 

But as much as Hartley wouldn't mind seeing him squirm, she knows he's innocent, and she's the only one who can help him. Along with her best friend, Sam, and the school's resident Bad Boy, Chase, Hartley starts investigating on her own. But as the dead bodies begin to pile up, the mystery deepens, the suspects multiply, and Hartley begins to fear that she may be the killer's next victim.


My Review:
I loved this book so much! It was so entertaining, and funny, and great! So snarky and sarcastic, and even if it's a teen murder mystery sleuthing novel, it was more light then dark, most of the time. There were some really creepy moments! And it kept us guessing on the bad guy till the last few pages!

So Hartley, yeah, the situation is almost, that like, funny, because she finally breaks up with her cheating boyfriend-and then he's accused of killing the girl with whom he cheated with. And then he asks for her to help him. It's like, you gotta lot of nerve, boy! But she does it, and does it pretty well!

I really enjoyed her relationship with Chase, because they're thrown together a lot, even when they didn't want it, and it was just hilarious reading them talk and hash things out, bantering, it was just adorable! I just knew they'd make a great couple!

Yeah, this was a fantastic, entertaining, and light read, recommenced for those that like YA mystery humour books!
