* I got this book from the publisher*
I thought this was a really engaging mystery. I really did enjoy the main character in this story and also the killer chapters we got. It added a creepy level to this mystery. I thought the book was fast pace and kept me wanting to read more. I also thought it addressed bullying and school issues in a pretty good way. I thought the characters other then the leads boy and girl could have been developed more. I think this book also has re-read appeal, to see the killer behavior throughout the book. If you like pretty little liars I think this mystery is up your alley! ( )

Love this book, it was fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. This book is a mix between Clueless, Mean Girls, and Scream Queens, with a dash of Pretty Little Liars. These characters are everyday types of teens, and that is what makes it do great. There is always a queen been, there is always the outcast, the jocks, the geeks, so this was an amazing mix with suspense and romance thrown in. Told in Penelope's POV. ( )

I'll be honest, at the beginning, I thought about giving up on this, once or twice. I just couldn't get into it. But then came along Cass Vincenti, and he's the one who added all the real stuff into the story.


Though the story was from Penelope's point of view, I just couldn't get into it until Cass showed up. Her character seemed pretty dull to me, to be honest.


After that, the story picked right up. There was suspense, and of course the romance. I read this book in two days, only because I had to sleep. I kept reading, first because I wanted to know who the killer was and then when I did realize who it most possibly was, I kept reading because of Cass.


I also loved the 'killer's point of view' snippets. They kept me on edge, and wanting to keep reading.


All in all though, Pretty Dead Girl was pretty reckless but a page turner nonetheless! ( )

2.5 stars ... I couldn't get into this one. Unfortunately, it didn't do anything for me. ( )
