Codename: Dancer (Dani Spevak Mysteries, #1)

Review: Codename Dancer - Book #1 Dani Spevak Mystery - Amanda Brice - April 2011
Looking for a YA Mystery? Dani Spevak is also a bit of a Nancy Drew type character. Dani has just started at a School of Arts as a ballet dancer. Her roommate Bev is an art student and they don't always get on as we will learn later in on the book why Bev hates Ballet Dancers. Dani becomes friends with a couple of girls. During her first week, she finds out that there is a new Reality TV show coming to the school and they are looking for dancers. Dani tries out and manages to get on the show. At their first rehearsal though, there is a stage accident and one of the girls Kat ends up in hospital. During the next few weeks, there will be bomb scares, a fire and then someone tried to poison Dani. The show however continues to go on and now Dani and her friends will put on their Nancy Drew hats and discover who is behind sabotaging the show but Dani has to be careful as the saboteur is closer to her than she realises. Codename Dancer by Amanda Brice was a clean YA mystery, a little slow but still held interest. Perfect for fans of Nancy Drew and those who love Ballet films and Dance Reality TV shows.

During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...
