I'm going to make this my shortest review ever. Ready?  I really liked this book.  THE ENDI'm making the review that short because I wanted to share with you something really fun I did while reading this book.  I cracked open DARKER DAYS, poured an adult beverage that included seven olives, and tweeted my reactions in real time. It's like a live action review.  Something I've come to call Tweading. (Clever, right?!?)  It may be too late to see all the goodness that went down on the #DarkerDays hashtag, but here's a recap of most of the tweets I sent out to the universe.  Hope you enjoy!• I'm excited to finally have the chance to read it! Jus writes a mean (aka really nice) book and I have HIGH expectations.• My hope is that I <3 Jessie Darker as much as I love Deznee Cross bc Dez is one of my fav heroines EVER.Tell me I will, Twitter!• Sassy heroine? Check. Zombie action scene? Check. Tuna Bagel? Check. All this in one chapter. This is gonna be good.• LMAO! Watch the next tweet for a perfect example of why I love Jus like I do. Hilarious quote is hilarious.• "Hey, show me a guy who can take down a dirt demon without [CENSORED}ing himself and I'll smack his [CENSORED} and let him take me to prom"• YOU GUYS! This "mystery" is going to make for a great story!! I might already adore Lukas & his shaggy hair.• Chapter 3 started confusing my pea sized brain but Jus's brilliant use of dialogue in that scene made it come together nicely!• Just finished up chapter 4, or what I'm referring to as, "The one with sexual tension and [CENSORED]"• Oh, and WHO IS DAMIEN? (That's a rhetorical question. Please don't tell me.)• OK. Not sure if this is the reaction I *should* be having, but angry Lukas is HOT.• Oh! Here it comes...here it COMES! They're going to...oh. Never mind.• Chapter Seven requires me to replenish my glass with a bunch of cold water. BRB• Oh, ZING! Thanks for prepping me for start of chapter 8, guys. GEEZ. I'm officially a Lukas girl.• Oh, SNAP! Now whatcha going to do, Jessie? I didn't see that coming. AT ALL.• A common theme in Jus's books: an authentic teen voice. Maybe Jus IS a teen & has her neighbor pose for her at signings?• Yesterday, I read through chapter 10, which ended with a loud roar spliting the air. I have a theory about that roar• I'm betting that Jessie & Lukas have stumbled into the 100 Acre Wood and Winnie the Pooh is lodged firmly in Rabbit's hole• I was wrong about the Pooh theory. But I DID come up with another theory about the person with the shoes & Kit-Kats!• AHA! The mystery of "Who is Damien?" has been solved. But, but, but...WHY? Nevermind. Mystery is still in effect• BAHAHAHAAHA! Officer Fife, er, I mean Barnes is killing me right now! "So about dinner...Clothing is optional."• I just realized who Lukas reminds me of, guys! He reminds me of KALE! It's the whole sweetly naive thing, I think. <3• Oh! Oh! Oh! I totally want to see Jessie and Lukas do some courting! And some kissing. With their tongues.• WHAT is up with all these texts from [INSERT BOY NAME HERE]! Something is UP.• WHOA! There have been a few twists in Darker Days but the one at the end of chapter 27 has me open mouthed and speechless.• I am STRESSED OUT.• Darker Days plays out like a movie and these last few chapters have had me on the edge of my seat. *pops popcorn*• Darker Days was AWESOME. I want more!Listen. If you're a fan of Jus's Denazen series, you're going to love Darker Days. It's an exciting start to what has the high probability of being a really great series. Lots of paranormal elements, swoony romance and a kick arse heroine. What's not to love, really?And, hey! What do you think of this idea of Tweading? Should I do more of it or is it L-A-M-E? Cause I had a blast and would totally do it again if anyone is interested in reading along with me sometime.So much for the shortest review ever. *giggle*
