Darynda Jones, author of The New York Times bestselling series that began with First Grave on the Right, brings us Death and the Girl Next Door, a thrilling Young Adult novel garnering high praise and early buzz from major authors Ten years ago, Lorelei's parents disappeared without a trace. Raised by her grandparents and leaning on the support of her best friends, Lorelei is finally beginning to accept the fact that her parents are never coming home. For Lorelei, life goes on. High school is not quite as painful as she thinks it will be, and things are as normal as they can be. Until the day the school's designated loner, Cameron Lusk, begins to stalk her, turning up where she least expects it, standing outside her house in the dark, night after night. Things get even more complicated when a new guy-terrifying, tough, sexy Jared Kovach-comes to school. Cameron and Jared instantly despise each other and Lorelei seems to be the reason for their animosity. What does Jared know about her parents? Why does Cameron tell Jared he can't have Lorelei? And what will any of them do when Death comes knocking for real? Thrilling, sassy, sexy, and inventive, Darynda Jones's first foray into the world of teens will leave readers eager for the next installment. "Unique, witty, and touching-I LOVED THIS BOOK!" -P.C.

“The delightful Jones makes a smooth transition to YA in this really fun read. Her kicky dialogue and great characters are super entertaining, and the story unfolds with some surprising twists. Add in some laugh-out-loud moments, a hot hero and a satisfying, but cliffhanger-y, ending, and you’ve got a hit.”

" Loved loved loved this book! The plot twists weren't expected and the writing was just as amusing as the Charley Davidson series! Super happy there wasn't a love triangle and can't wait for the second one. "

" Just ordered next in series! "
— Wendy, 1/27/2014 -
" I love this author, so I had to check out her new series. I can see some similarities between the series (even though one is adult and one is YA), but they are both great. Definitely a favorite. "
— Angie, 1/18/2014 -
" Pretty good read. I found it more in the juvenile part of Young Adult level with some of the conversations the characters would have. But it was an interesting concept for a story. I will probably read the next one in the series but won't rush out to buy it. "

" I'm not sure how I feel about this book. This is one of the ones where book two in the series will have the power to revise my opinion of the first. "
— Nan, 12/11/2013 -
" Like her adult series better. This book was worth reading but not one that I would read again. "

" Very good book, but I wish it had a bit more closure. Seemed like a part one instead of a full book. Still awesome. "
