Crush
Tonight's tale . . . The Roid Patrol regularly menaces Jonathan Barnes in the halls. Mr. Weaver's sarcasm makes English class unbearable. If it weren't for his best friend, David, and his crush, Emma, Jonathan would go insane. But now he thinks he has, what with everyone who's ever been mean to him turning up dead. He doesn't know what to think, who to trust—or who's next.

It had been a while since I read the last book. But while reading this, it did remind me why I like the series.
This was a pretty good, fast paced read, that kept me turning the page. Good sequel.

This was a quick easy read. This series is really about 4 Ghost girls who get together to roll the bones and see who gets to tell a story. The little storyline following them didn't progress much in this book.
The story told this time was about Jonathan. He is an outcast a school, but when murders start to happen, he realized they have to do with him. I thought I knew what was going to happen, then, Surprise! I didn't.

Jonathan Barnes has never had the good life. Labeled as an outcast at his school, not only is he victimized by the school jocks every day but also by his English teacher, who enjoys calling him out in the middle of class. Even though Mr. Weaver may think Jonathan is stupid, he's really pretty smart, but he just doesn't want to make his situation even worse.
His best friend left him to go to another school, one where Jonathan still wouldn't fit in. And the girl of his dreams has begun to notice him, but the only interaction between them is smiles in the hallways -- and that only lasts for a split second.
Then things get out of control. First, Mr. Weaver turns up dead in a tree, and then one of the jocks. Seems like whoever has terrorized Jonathan is getting killed, and even though he never liked them, he would never wish them dead.
The new girl, Kristy, who is also a loner, is beginning to make friends with Jonathan. Sure, she seems nice, but there just might be a darker side to her.
Jonathan has to quickly find out who is causing all of these murders before they go too far and end up killing the people he loves, too.
A thrilling and adventurous novel that will leave you breathless, CRUSH is the perfect addition to the already frightening WICKED DEAD series. The story is intense and very creative, and those who have enjoyed the works of R.L. Stine and even Stephen King will definitely want to take a look at it -- cautiously.
