About this ebook

High school freshman Jessica Walsh is a Virago—a woman warrior who must protect her hometown from danger. And in Nightshade, California, trouble is always lurking. At the town’s Battle of the Bands, Jess’s boyfriend, Dominic, and his band, Side Effects May Vary, are up against Hamlin, a band so popular, their fans follow them everywhere. Soon, the competing musicians are doing risky, illegal, and even fatal things—and claiming that they heard strange music that compelled them to do it. Can Jess and her friends track down the tuneful tyrant before it’s too late?

    I have long been a fan of these cute, short and simple paranormal adventures by Marlene Perez. In the previous novel "Dead Is A Battlefield" the series received a brand new narrator, Jessica Walsh. Jessica also became a virago, a warrior woman who protects the town of Nightshade from danger. While other characters and locations were the same, there was still a bit of adjustment as we were introduced to Jessica and her family and close friends. I enjoyed the book, but I have to say that "Dead Is a Killer Tune" worked much better for me.The plotline was one of my favorite of the entire series. There is a huge Battle of the Bands taking place in Nightshade. Weird things are happening to contestants. Some people are coming up with musical talents they never before had. Antique and treasured instruments are disappearing. What in the world is happening now in Nightshade? On a personal note Jessica is also trying to figure out whether or not there is any chance at a romance between her and Dominic, the lead singer of the band Side Effects May Vary. I really adored a cute little side story about a mysterious dollhouse and its occupants and I hope that story is revisited in the future.Again these are simple books. I'd strongly recommend them for pre-teens who are interesting in reading paranormal novels for the first time. Things are lighthearted and the mysteries are always resolved very quickly. Yet they are always good for an entertaining bit of reading and "Dead Is a Killer Tune" is the best installment in awhile.
