Holly Jackson’s college scholarship is
already in limbo and on top of that, she is at loggerheads with some of the
most distinguished donors from the institution. Her only opportunity at
redemption is now the Shellesby Scholarship that will allow her to attend the
prestigious college. Holly is set to make an enthralling performance at the
Night Lights Gala but portraying herself as the best choice is not the only
thing she has to worry about. Her archrival is also there, and she doesn’t just
have her eyes on the scholarship but also on Holly’s boyfriend, William. On top
of that, there is a killer at the event. Holly has her sights on eventually
winning an internship with a famous chocolatier, but things take a different
turn. In an odd turn of events, she has to catch a killer, save her biggest
rival, and wow the scholarship judges at the same time.
An epic romance, mystery, and fantasy all
rolled up in one intriguing tale, Dead
Cereus is riveting from the first page. It depicts a unique journey through
life that involves competition, love, companionship, and crime strung into one.
It contains humor, affection, and an uncanny exploration of natural plants. The
character development is distinct and profound revolving around how life can
put us in the most unexpected circumstances and how a young high school girl
reacts to such unforeseen circumstances and pressure. Holly is well-imagined
and intelligently executed to reflect her age and environment; her emotions and
reactions —at times annoying —reflect her age, but her boldness in winning the
day sets her apart as an unforgettable character. Fans of sleuth will love this
story; the pacing is fast and the suspense is persistently enthralling. Dead Cereus is hugely entertaining with
the fully drawn and quirky characters and the unpredictable plot points. A
great winner for a debut author.
