Scarlett doesn't know it was Lucy until the end of the book. Lucy wants to run the castle with Callum and they need to get married so that is why Lucy doesn't like Scarlett and shoots at her one day in the woods. And Lucy doesn't like her because she is jealous of her and Callum. Callum doesn't like her because he thinks she had something to do with Dan's death. When she gets there everyone is nice to her except Callum-Dan's twin brother that Scarlett didn't know about- and Lucy, Callum's girlfriend. Scarlett ends up going and staying with Dan's family after she writes them a letter saying she has something of Dan's to return and wants to talk with them. Half way through the book it picked up and the pages flew by. Scarlett and Taylor are already into trouble by chapter three. This has us wondering which direction the third book is going to take-will it feature more of the girl-sleuth action of Kisses and Lies, or the Mean Girls-style viciousness that made up the majority of Kiss Me Kill Me? We’re hoping for the former, because Henderson has made it clear with Kisses and Lies that she’s capable of producing something more original than another series about bored, wealthy teens behaving badly.I like how this book started right back in to the mystery of who killed Dan. While Kiss Me Kill Me implicated certain characters in Dan’s death, Kisses and Lies introduces several new suspects-and raises some tantalizing questions about the boy himself.īy the end of Kisses and Lies, the story’s central mystery has been settled, but plenty of intriguing minor points are left unresolved. Over the course of the novel, Scarlett travels from London nightclubs to a Scottish castle, desperate to learn more about the death of Dan McAndrew, the boy who died in her arms of a freak allergy attack moments after giving Scarlett her first kiss. Happily for her readers, Henderson’s sequel, the just-released Kisses and Lies, is even better, emphasizing the story’s mystery elements instead of its rich-kids-misbehaving ones. Kiss Me Kill Me had its faults (too many plot threads were left unresolved at the end of the novel), but its storytelling and characterization stood head and shoulders above the majority of the books in the “glamorous teen” genre. Kiss Me Kill Me, the first book in Lauren Henderson’s series featuring 16-year-old Scarlett Wakefield, was an unexpected delight: a YA mystery that blended the guilty pleasures of the Gossip Girl series with the girl-power attitude of a Nancy Drew book.
