The Death by... series never fails to impress me. And Gerber's writing style is constantly unique and original.
The
book is in Aphra's POV. I was blown away at how Gerber completely
perfected a teenager's point of view. I loved Aphra's character. She
was both dynamic and realistic at the same time. I could really relate
to her and her feelings about being lied to and her feelings towards
Seth.
The action and suspense in Death by Latte
was, in words, intense and perfect. There were lots of face-to-face
encounters and hand-on-hand combat. The only thing that I didn't really
like was that, in the entire book, it felt like Aphra was always
running. The pace faster than I was used to, but then again, it kept me
more aware and alert.
The ending of the book didn't fulfill my
thirst for a happy ending (so cliche of me). It was sweet and sour. I
hated the depressing good-byes and the cryptic messages that the
characters were trying to get across.
I found the plot to be a little confusing. I went over the book twice until I completely understood the entire plot.
The epilogue is a great cliffhanger...I can't wait to see what happens next in Death by Denim.
The Bottom Line: A great read for those who LOVE mystery, suspense, action, and a tinge of romance. B- :-)
