Veronica Mars, watch out: theres a new super sleuth in town and shes doing it with just as much comedy and snark as you. Hartley Featherstone is one fabulous characters, and I adore Gemma Halliday for creating her. This book is a fun, fast, and dazzling read.
As if finding out your boyfriend is cheating on you with the president of the chastity club isnt bad enough, you find said presidents dead body in your boyfriend ex-boyfriends closet. Hartley has some serious issues shes dealing with, and thats before the end of chapter 2. While this story could quickly into the tragic, emotionally-wrought tale of a teenage girl whose boyfriend cheated, Hartley handles this whole situation with such grace and wit, I fell in love with her immediately.
While Hartley is the lead (and a wonderful one at that), shes surrounded by a fabulous cast. Josh, the cheater and suspected murderer amused me to no end. He provided a lot of comic relief for me, mainly because his idiotic statements gave Hartley some awesome, one-line zingers. Sam was a great, supportive best friend. I loved her. And Chase? He rocked. I gleefully anticipated any of his scenes. He and Hartley were fabulous together. Their chemistry sizzled on every page.
This is a great read for teens and adults. The pace is quick, the dialogue is sharp, and the plot is tight. This book was a delight to read, and Ill be recommending it to all of my friends.

Deadly Cool is not only a fast read, but a fast story line that borderlines on predictable. I found the scenarios and character names used were very cliche. I felt that the story was told more from the perspective of journal entries rather than an actual published book. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice book, but one that may be easily forgettable.
