Social Suicide (Deadly Cool #1) by Gemma Halliday Review



5 STARS

I am just in love with Hartley's stories, just hearing her name brings a smile to my face.

As she did in the first book Hartley finds the body of the person who's death is the main plot of this book. I sometimes wonder if she is a Hufflepuff since she seems to FIND every dead body within her walking distance as well as other life-threatening events. I swear she has a talent and maybe consider going into a career of finding bodies.

Anyway onto the story. I was immediately drawn into the book and actually had a harder time figuring out the killer than in the first book, all I can say is that Gemma Halliday did a great job with this mystery and if I ever saw her I would give her a hi-five.

I loved all the characters: Hartley, Sam, Chase and Kyle. Sam and Kyle remind me so much of my friend and her boyfriend and how they interact with each other it was just so sweet to read. Sam actually reminds me of my friend a lot actually now that I think about it.

I felt so sorry for Hartley at some points in this book when it came to Chase but it was such a nice change to read about and still enjoyed even though Hartley had a hard time.

So everyone who loved Deadly Cool should definitely check this out and enjoy the ride with Hartley.

Deadly Cool (Deadly Cool #1) by Gemma Halliday

Deadly Cool (Deadly Cool, #1)

Note: This was originally reviewed in March and appeared on my goodreads.

5 Stars
First off the cover is so beautiful I could stare at it for ages.
I absolutely love Hartley she is so hilarious espeacially in the bedroom scene (you will know what I mean when you read it), I was so engrossed I was trying to unsuccessfully resist laughing so she wouldn't get caught.
I also loved Sam and Chase who were awesome sidekicks for Hartley and god Chase why can't you be real?
Although I figured who the killer was way before it was revealed I still however got caught up in the suspense with Hartley waiting on the edge of my seat for it to be revealed.
Although there was some pop cult references it wasn't completely overwhelming like in other books *cough* House Of Night *cough*
I love how it was such a simple plot and yet different from what other mysteries I have read and watched.
There wasn't a lot of romance but enough that I was thought was satisfying and still left me hungry for more. (Come on Social Suicide be out already!)
So anyone who wants to get their adrenaline pumping but still want to have a good laugh pick up this book, I promise you won't regret it.
