This task is not as easy as it sounds and the threat of what will happen if Claire fails looms over the four.

The Opportunity: I would like to see faster pacing - maybe Kiss of Death and book 2, Touch of Death, should have been combined into one.A student now at Wakefield Hall Collegiate, run by her aunt, she thought she had left the past behind. Claire continues to come into her own in this book, showing more courage and spunk than you would expect in the circumstances they find themselves in. While young love blossomed between them once, they're now constantly butting heads and trying to one-up each other.

It’s a Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast retelling, but with Death… if I need to say more then you’re just silly. The Meh: The writing isn’t horrible, although the pacing leaves something to be desired (which I’ll get to soon). i am going to read the next book out of curiosity due to the cliffhanger ending, but if the sequel doesn't deliver, i'm very done with this series.

I did feel like the story left a little to be desired by the end, but given there are two follow up books, I can understand why this was done. Marcus also wrote with his brother Julian, and contributed to a short story collection with fellow YA authors. Seriously, just when you think things couldn't get any worse for the guys, it does - in bucket loads.Review: Scarlett Wakefield is on a week-long school-sponsored trip to Scotland, where she suddenly seems to be the target of an unknown assailant determined to injure — and perhaps even kill — her, in Kiss of Death, the fourth and final mystery in this series for young adults by Lauren Henderson.
