You need To Check this Social Suicide Deadly Gemma Halliday
Social Suicide is the perfect blend of mystery and humor. After having displayed skill at investigation over the course of Deadly Cool, Hart ley is now a member of her school's paper and hunting down stories instead of mysteries. However, she can't seem to escape trouble, as she finds out when she discovers the body of Sydney Sanders. Hart ley's need to prove that Sydney's death was a homicide (or twittercide, as her best friend Sam calls it) leads her deep into a plot brewing at school with her wit and discomfort about her growing attraction to Chase alleviating the tension.
I adore Hart ley and her friends. While the questions surrounding Sydney's death are key to the plot, the characters are the ones who bring the book to life. Hart ley is a smart girl who pursues her goals with determination, yet she's also a teenager who is discomforted by her attraction towards someone she considers (or wants to see as) a friend as well as her mom's sudden announcement that she wants to date again. Sam is the best friend who's there when Hart ley needs someone and who is set on playing matchmaker and costume art ist for Hart ley. Chase is the bad boy who just looks like one; he's there for Hart ley, believing in her and supporting her in her investigation. Kyle completes the picture as Sam's boyfriend and fellow cohort in playing the cute, lovey dovey couple. If I ever needed backup on some case, I'd call in these people. Not only are they brilliant, they have personality. No job would be boring with them around.
I appreciate how the romance plays out in the Deady Cool series. Hints have been dropped at a romance between Hart ley and Chase, but they're still at the awkward friends-with-sparks-between-them stage . The two lived completely different lives before the murder of the Chastity Club's president brought them together in Deadly Cool, and they're just becoming friends. I appreciate how the two are taking their time exploring the possibility and not rushing into things. Plus, Hart ley's initial denial at her attraction to Chase is cute. As for Hart ley's mom, she is a woman who isn't ready to settle down; she knows what she wants just as well as Hart ley does, and I enjoyed seeing how her decision to pursue a new relationship impacts her relationship with Hart ley.
Even if you haven't read Deadly Cool, it is perfectly fine to start with Social Suicide, if you so desire. It is better to start with the first book, so that you have all the details. However, Social Suicide provides some context when the situation calls for it, and you won't be missing out on anything if you start with it (like me). This is definitely my favorite mystery of the year, and I will be getting my hands on a copy of Deadly Cool as soon as humanly possible!
