Death And The Girl He Loves



Death And The Girl He Loves by Darynda Jones                  255 pages

This appears to be the conclusion of a trilogy that began with Death And The Girl Next Door.  After nearly being killed, Lorelei’s grandparents send her away to a boarding school, thinking that might keep her safe. But Lorelei is the prophet and the only one who can stop the annihilation of the world.  When Lorelei starts seeing visions of the deaths of the other kids at school she knows that the end is coming soon and that going away to school didn’t change anything.  She goes back home to prepare, but the problem is, she has no idea what she is supposed to do to stop the upcoming war between good and evil.  I didn’t like this book as much as the first two.  The whole business of going away to school seemed kind of pointless and really didn’t add much to the story.  It also didn’t feel very realistic.  I kind of liked the ending, though.  Up until the last few chapters, I was kind of uncertain of what was really going on, which made me want to keep reading until the very end.  Overall, a fairly solid book and teens that like supernatural stories will probably enjoy it.
