Dead Beautiful is actually a very very good book. It’s romance and mystery and supernatural packed into one. It’s like the perfect Twilight (because it’s not perfect in any way now) (no vampires, i promise). The plot is a lot alike, but it’s not as corny or cheesy or dramatic and it doesn’t focus about the romance as much–the love doesn’t overshadow the whole supernatural side of it. I would make it a point to read it if I were you.
One thing I really don’t like, is the cover. I read it before it was published, and the cover then was nice and simple. Midnight Blue with white lettering that said “Dead Beautiful” and a little white gothic design under it. But now… Bleh. It looks to medieval. In general, I don’t like covers that have real-life photography of people, even if it’s just a hand or something. Need by Carrie Jones is the only exception.
The book’s interesting and makes you want to read on with the mystery. It makes you laugh out loud at some really funny parts and makes you smirk at other hot parts. It really is the PERFECT Twilight. And If you’ve readTwilight and read it, you’ll definitely tell the similarity. And if you’re a Twilight fan, you’re going to say it’s a rip-off or something. Just putting it out there. I anticipate it and there is an 80% possibility that I’m very right on this.
Age?
there is some… mildly sensual content–intense making out and that stuff. But no seriousness.
There’s also some dark content–people burying each other, etc. And then killings and such.
So… not under 13, i think.
Philosophy, Morals, and Themes
Well, of course there’s the love theme, and also a whole theme about death.
