Week 6 Review: The Ghoul Next Door

From Goodreads:
Cleopatra de Nile 
- New pet snake
- Has Deuce--the hottest guy in school--all wrapped up
- Herve Leger bandage dress, strappy gold platforms Cleo was the queen bee of the RADs, the normies, and everyone in between at Merston High. But now it's "Frankie this" and "Melody that" . . . these new girls sure know how to get her lashes in a tangle. When Cleo lands a golden Teen Vogue photo op for her friends, everything seems to be back on track . . . until they bail to be in some film . . . Frankie and Melody's film! Can't a royal get some loyal?

Frankie Stein
Frankie lost her head over Brett once and vows never to do it again. Not that she has a choice: Bekka is clinging to her guy like plastic wrap. But when Brett comes up with a plan that could help the RADs live free, sparks fly, and Bekka will stop at nothing to put out the flames . . . even if it means destroying the entire monster community.

Melody Carver
The clock is tick-tick-ticking. Melody has a serious deadline to save her boyfriend, Jackson, from being exposed by the vengeance-seeking Bekka. But Cleo is making it royally difficult for the normie while threatening her acceptance into the RADs' exclusive group . . . a group that Melody suspects she has more in common with than she ever thought.
Fitting in is out.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! Really enjoyed reading it, and while I wish that I got to it sooner after Monster High, because of that ending, well, better late then never! This was just such a fantastic, amazing book, and yeah that there are still 2 more books in the series!

This book added the POV of Cleo, which was really great, so we got to know her a bit more, which was really great, because while she's a RAD, she's the Queen Bee that's slowly losing her status, so yeah, that's making her more of a mean girl then usual.

The situation with Bekka, and keeping hidden the RAD's, well the situation gets better. And then it gets worse. So that's going to be something to deal with in the next book, which I can't wait for, because yeah, it's interesting!

This book took what was great about Monster High, and just made it better! Like the suspicion that Melody is a RAD, too, well, that I kinda guessed, just from all her various differences, even though they could be written off, they also told another possible story!

Really enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to read more!
