Rock On, Honorable Ones!

TITLE: Perry's Killer Playlist 

AUTHOR: Joe Schreiber

REVIEWED BY: JPL TeenLink

BRIEF SUMMARY: When Perry ends up in Venice on a European tour with his band Inchworm, he can’t resist a visit to Harry’s Bar, where Gobi told him she’d meet him someday. The last time he saw Gobi, five people were assassinated one crazy night in New York City. Well... Gobi shows up, and once again Perry is roped into a wild, nonstop thrill ride with a body count. Double crossings, kidnappings, CIA agents, arms dealers, boat chases in Venetian canals, and a shootout in the middle of a Santa Claus convention ensue.

WHY I PICKED IT UP: It's the sequel to Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick. I had to read it.

WHY I FINISHED IT: Once again, the book started with a bang and never let up. It was great to see Perry and Gobi again, and Joe Schreiber did a great job joining the two stories seamlessly.

WHO I'D GIVE IT TO: Anyone who likes action/adventure stories. People with a good sense of humor. Anyone who liked Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick and wanted more.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: Like the first book, this one comes with a PG-13 level language warning, and a handful of sexual references (not explicit). Gobi is still an assassin, and people still die in violent ways. Definitely aimed at the older YA reader.

See you at the library!
