Sweet Valley University #40.5: Love and Murder
by Laurie John
As many (or most, but perhaps I just haven’t connected all the dots) Sweet Valley Thriller Editions are teenaged versions of popular movies, Love and Murder works the Kenneth Branagh movie Dead Again into the Southern California beach setting. If you aren’t familiar with that 1990s flick, the plot of this book will be a total surprise to you.
Posh and pretty Lila meets a new teacher, Damon, and feels an instant and intense attraction. It’s a whirlwind romance (sorry Bruce!) but perhaps they’re rushing in too deep too quickly. Technically, Damon’s the man of her dreams – but that’s not necessarily a good thing. In Lila’s dreams, she’s in a different time period and living as Damon’s wife. He’s a volatile artist and she fears his temper. Are these dreams real? Have they known each other in a former life? If so, does he still have the same wild spirit, and is she in danger? Someone will be in danger; after all, it’s a thriller edition. Enjoy!
