#ReadSomeKimberlyReid!

#Prettyboy Must Die is by Kimberly Reid who also wrote this series which I LOVED LOVED LOVED!  This is what I hope, a great start to a new series! 

Never Have I Ever

been the first person to rate and review a book on goodreads, until now!  Guys, Lies and Alibis is the latest in the Langdon Prep series by Kimberley Reid.  This is such a terrific series.  All of the things that I've said about the series in the past are true about this latest edition.  Fantastic.  I love, love Chanti Evans.  I can't wait for the next one!

The only bad thing about reading a Langdon Prep book

Is that when you are done with it, you have to wait so long for the next one!!! It seems like it took forever for Sweet 16 to Life to come out! As I have mentioned, Chanti Evans is one of my most favorite detectives, and the only female one, now that I think about it. This one takes place totally on the Ave, and features MJ heavily. Marco is back and Bethanie is still gone. I miss her. I hope that she isn't gone for good, but it seems likely. I missed the surroundings of the school, but the mystery was good and the books was suspenseful, well written and funny, like always! Keep em coming!

and now...Chanti
I have a new detective hero! As you can see she is one of the few female detectives on the list.  Reid has created a solid, likable, real, smart detective in Chanti Evans.
Creeping with the Enemy is the second in Kimberly Reid's Langdon Prep series which is so much more than a prep school series.
I loved My Own Worst Frenemy and even wrote Ms. Reid to tell her so.  She kindly replied and told me the series would continue to be centered around mysteries!  I thought it was super cool of her to write back, as I would imagine she gets a million emails.  Even though her writing me back made me super fond of her for being so cool, it is without a bit of bias that I saw that this second book is even better than the first as Chanti has another mystery to solve, this time involving her friend Bethanie and a guy who has been kinda, sorta dating her.  LOVED it!  Can't wait for the next! 

New Series to Love!

Love my latest Kindle checkout from the library!  Kimberly Reid's My Own Worst Fremeny, the first in the Langdon Prep series.  The second one just came out and I'm totally buying it tomorrow and ordering the series for the library.
This first book was such a great one.  The main character, Chanti, is clever, kind, ornery, and all of the things that make a main character appealing.
Chanti comes from a transitional neighborhood in Denver and when she gets in some trouble over the summer, her mom decides that she will be attending the snooty Langdon Prep on a scholarship.  There are all kinds of trouble waiting for Chanti at Langdon and mysteries to solve.  I hope that each of the books has a mystery to it, that would be really cool, but even if they don't, I'll be reading the rest!  The book concludes with discussion questions dealing with some of the issues that Chanti faces like friends who get into trouble, dumping old friends to get cooler ones, racial and economic profiling, and  the relationship between police and society.  What a great, great book!
