Beautiful. Perfect. Dead.

In the peaceful seaside town of Cape Bonita, wicked secrets and lies are hidden just beneath the surface. But all it takes is one tragedy for them to be exposed.

The most popular girls in school are turning up dead, and Penelope Malone is terrified she's next. All the victims so far have been linked to Penelope—and to a boy from her physics class. The one she's never really noticed before, with the rumored dark past and a brooding stare that cuts right through her.

There's something he isn't telling her. But there's something she's not telling him, either.

Everyone has secrets, and theirs might get them killed.

Pretty Dead Girls is in the Young Adult Romance genre. This is for sure a young adult book, but I don’t really get the romance part of it. Yeah, there’s a bit of two teens liking each other but I don’t see it as romance exactly. If it were up to me, I’d stick this in the Young Adult Thriller genre. It is more thrilling to me than it is romantic… just my two cents there.

What I enjoyed the most of this book is that it isn’t just called young adult but it is young adult. There are parents in this book, or guardians, the children, albeit teens aren’t just running amok, there are parents calling the shots. It’s something that bugs me immensely about young adult books. I enjoyed the storyline and I really think it could have been even better. The detective/cop area was a bit weak, I’m not sure real detectives would have played things out like this. There were also a few things that I think might have been tossed in just to tighten up the storyline but it didn’t read true, it read more like Oh yeah, I need them to know each other better, kind of thing.

So even though I had a few problems with the story, I enjoyed the story. It was kind of Mean Girls meets Psycho, lol. Monica Murphy maintained an easy flow and kept the book interesting. The characters were fine, not exactly relatable, but entertaining.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
