REVENGE OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN
Stephanie Hale
Berkley
July 2007
978-0-425-21615-6
Paperback
Young Adult/Mystery

 

When Aspen Brooks, the most popular girl in school loses her title of Homecoming queen to her rival, Angel Ives the head cheerleader, she is only in shock for about three seconds. This would be the exact time that Rand Bachrach is titled Homecoming king. Rand’s not that bad of a person, if you can over look the fact that he drives a car that “takes care of the environment.” Rand’s the biggest dork in school and not in a good way either, and he wasn’t really supposed to win. However, the school can’t over look the fact that Aspen Brooks didn’t win when Angel mysteriously disappears and the last time that she was seen, she had a mouthful of Lucas Riley, Aspen’s boyfriend. Of course, Aspen thinks that the only reason Angel is, “skipping” school is so that it looks like Aspen did something to her…until Aspens own mother disappears after Angel does. Is Aspen next, or is Lucas? Find out by reading the book.


This book can completely hold anyone’s attention, because of the way it brings its intensity from love scandals, to disappearances, and even to late night stake-outs. Those are all the reasons why this reviewer gave this book five stars. The passion between the hero and heroine is almost unbearable, this reviewer found herself sitting and saying “just kiss already” in numerous parts of the book. However, this book doesn’t only make a person do things they normally wouldn’t during love scenes but also can bring someone to the nail-biting point in other parts. For anyone who reads this book to not like it is almost unbelievable, because this book was written with such dexterity that you almost have to have no feelings to not at least look around, wince, or become keen during some part in the book. The fervent feelings within this book make it all the better. Unlike an assumption that some people may make based on the title, this story is great for every one, the class loser, a jock, a nerd, a band geek even; no matter what you are there is most likely something in this book for you. So go and buy your copy of it today!!
