Book Description
A well-known Norfolk author is rumoured to be up to his neck in dark deeds. When his nemesis goes missing, it starts to look like there’s only one person responsible. But is all what it seems? Daisy decides she has to know for sure, and there’s only one way to do that! Jolyon Prendegast, a multi-million-selling author of gothic horror novels, is Norfolk-based, and living in a gothic-style manor not so far from Great Wiltingham. But he’s about to be exposed… Abbie Drake, an investigative reporter, is well known for her devotion to exposing all things suspect. She’s had her teeth into Prendegast for a while, claiming he didn’t write any of his books. Her weekly podcast, ‘The Terrier Times’, is followed by a lot of people. At the end of her latest episode, she hints that she’s about to expose Prendegast for far darker deeds than she first thought, and she’d reveal all in the next podcast. That podcast never appears. Already suspicious, the Poppleswick Pensioners take it upon themselves to investigate, visiting the manor to confront the man. Needless to say they don’t get very far, but refusing to give up, things go scarily downhill for the terrible twosome. In the meantime, Sarah asks Daisy for help with a possibly-missing person Burrows doesn’t have time to look into. That person is Abbie Drake, who also lives in Great Wiltingham. The plot thickens on both sides… Maisie and Doris become ever more convinced Prendegast is responsible for all kinds of horrors, and as Daisy and Aidan delve into Abbie’s disappearance, those circumstances quickly become darker too. But is all as it seems? Is the truth fact or fiction? With no hard evidence, Daisy decides there’s only one way to find out for sure, and it’s not exactly risk-free! Enjoy!

Book Description
The author of Dead Is Just a Rumor delivers a paranormal tale that “will remind you of Twilight . . . with the vamp versus werewolf . . . It’s awesome” (Teen Ink). 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

Book Description
Thrills and chills descend on the town of Nightshade during Halloween in this fourth book in the series, following Dead Is So Last Year. As the creepy little town of Nightshade prepares to celebrate its 200th anniversary—on Halloween, of course—many of its paranormal residents are receiving mysterious blackmail letters. Psychic teen Daisy Giordano and her sisters set out to find out who is behind the threats. But launching an investigation isn’t easy for Daisy with her overprotective father watching her every move. Though she’s is happy to have him back after the years he spent being held captive by an anti-paranormal group called the Scourge, Dad is having a difficult time adjusting to home life—and the fact that his little girl is now a senior in high school. He even disapproves of Daisy’s boyfriend, Ryan. Can their relationship take the strain? And Daisy’s got even more on her plate: A talented amateur chef, she has won cooking lessons with celebrity chef Circe Silvertongue. After nosing around (with a little help from Circe’s pet pig), Daisy begins to suspect the temperamental chef’s secrets aren’t only in her ingredients . . .
