"I can't believe I'm in the wrong body-again!!
Memo to self: Never make a promise to a dead grandmother"



Summary (From B.O.B): Apparently, this freaky phenomenon of stepping into someone's life-and their body-has a name: Temp Lifer. And when my grandmother heaped on the praise for a job well done last time, I sort of let it happen again. (GRRR...thanks, Grammy.)

So now I'm hungover and gazing in the mirror at...my boyfreind's older sister, who is getting ready to go wild on spring break-while being pursued by a psycho stalker and a Dark Lifer. Help!

Wdebo's Review: Hurray! Another "Dead Girl" book Spring Break edition. I was totally ready for this one after the giant cliffhanger from the first one! (And there's ANOTHER one in this one). Amber is back being the needy-strong girl she is and Eli is back being the strong-nerdy-protector he is.

What's not to love about "Dead Girl"? It has EVERYTHING: romance, body switching, zombies and action!

Pro: The writing was amazing as per usual. The humor was subtle but there. Quite...interesting characters. And I always say this, but it was cliche (That is a total pro to me) I guessed the ending after a bit of reading but I still loved it. Cuz everyone needs a little sweetness in their life right?

Con: Sometimes Amber just annoys me, she gets into some situtaions that if she just thought for a bit longer she wouldn't have gotten into the first place!!!

Favorite Character: Eli-haha I always fall in love with the guy. Yes, Eli is amazing and sweet and totally cares for Amber!! Squeel!! Why isn't the world filled with guys like that?!

All in all, for lovers of the first book cheer now cuz it's another one and also as great as the first!!

Grade: B++
