Something Wicked
Something evil is lurking on the campus of Carleton State. And despite being a student reporter, Daisy is determined to find out who it is and get justice. It's what she does, after all. Doesn't hurt that it all helps her build towards her future career as a serious journalist. However, this time she finds herself in over her head and must rely on the help of someone she least expects - reserved, yet popular football player Tyler. Something that her best friend Zack from her hometown doesn't understand.
But what starts out as a partnership grows complicated with feelings, friends and pasts getting in the way. And all the while, a killer is still on the loose and only growing bolder. Daisy convinces herself that it's just a story and she's merely an observer. But slowly, she finds herself drawn into something that turns out much bigger, and much more personal, than she originally thought. Despite all of her friends' warnings to, for once, stay out of trouble.
It seems trouble follows Daisy and this is certainly no different.

SOMETHING WICKED took me on a wild ride from start to finish. Right from the first chapter you're thrown into the story, head-first into the mystery, following along with reporter Daisy as she seeks to uncover who murdered a girl who looks so much like her outside a frat house full of guys who would love to see her rot. It's a captivating premise, and I promise you the novel itself is even better.
I adore the way Kalka writes her characters. They're believeable and relatable, and I want to be friends with them all. There wasn't a moment I didn't cheer Daisy on, even as her story began to darken as she became more and more tied up in what she was doing.
Hand's down, this is probably one of my favourite reads this year!
