Dead Is Not an Option
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
It’s springtime of senior year, and psychic sleuth Daisy Giordano is preparing to say goodbye to Nightshade High. But no college acceptance letters have arrived yet, and she’s beginning to worry about where she’ll end up come fall—and if it will be anywhere near her boyfriend, Ryan. But that’s not the only uncertainty Daisy’s dealing with. There’s a vamps-versus-shifters war going on in Nightshade, and things are so tense that there is talk of canceling the prom. The conflict is carrying over to the Giordano home, since Rose and Daisy are both dating werewolves and Poppy’s new boyfriend is a vampire.
Can the paranormal community in Nightshade finally find peace? And will Daisy and her friends survive graduation? All of these questions and more are answered in this explosive installment in the Dead Is series.
“Once again, Perez offers up a clever mix of reality—senioritis, high-school graduation events, part-time jobs, and young love—and paranormal elements . . . Although familiarity with the other four books in the series will certainly give readers an advantage here, newcomers to Nightshade High will have few problems following the sometimes tense, often humorous plotlines.”—Booklist

Grades 7-9 In this fifth and final book in Perezs Dead Is series, Daisy, a senior at Nightshade High, is faced with the embarrassing prospect of not receiving any college-acceptance letters. She is also dealing with the strange death of a young Were (as in wolf); the death of her friend Elise Wilder, another Were whose throat was slit; and the return of her nemesis, Circe Silvertongue. Once again, Perez offers up a clever mix of realitysenioritis, high-school graduation events, part-time jobs, and young loveand paranormal elements, the ongoing battle between Weres and blood-sucking Vamps, ethical dilemmas involving mind reading, and clever inventions, such as a jukebox that plays songs that help solve mysteries. Although familiarity with the other four books in the series will certainly give readers an advantage here, newcomers to Nightshade High will have few problems following the sometimes tense, often humorous plotlines.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
