Duke makes it clear that he is attracted to Daisy, but she doesn't care because she has a boyfriend already. But Ryan has been so distant lately, and everyone seems to have a date to the upcoming dance except Daisy. She thinks Ryan still likes her - but he keeps leaving her in the lurch.
I read the first book in this series just long enough ago that the events were a bit foggy in my mind. Most of it came back to me as I read, though, and I was soon caught up in Daisy's latest drama. I can see that this series would have a lot of appeal to teens who enjoy supernatural mysteries with a bit of teen angst and romance. My main complaint is that a large part of the plot of this particular novel hinges on characters keeping vital information (for no really good reason) from Daisy. I hate when that is used as a plot device - particularly when it was so clear to me what was going on, yet Daisy was entirely clueless. Still it is a fun read, and I know I'll be recommending the series to teens at my library.
