Initially I expected Kiss Me Kill Me to be on the light side, perhaps a little chick lit, something fun and airy. But it turned out to revolve around this captivating mystery.... “who was really responsible for Dan’s death!” In the light of Dan’s death I also feel I need to discuss the probability for someone to die of kissing? I understand that the aforementioned person had a food allergy, but what’s the likelihood that he would be affected by a person who “nibbled” on the catalyst and then dow More...

Scarlett Wakefield is a dag among peacocks at the elite, private girls' school of St. Tabby's in London, making no effort with her appearance, putting her energy into gymnastics with her two friends Luce and Alison rather than shopping sprees and posing. Yet she wants to be a part of it all and hang out with the popular boys from the posh boys' school - especially Dan. So when Nadia Farouk, second-in-command to the princess of the school, Plum Saybourne, invites Scarlett - and only Scarlett - to More...

Scarlett Wakefield has two wishes at the beginning of the year: 1) a larger bust size (okay, so that's really TWO wishes right there...) and 2) to have Dan McAndrew notice her. But Scarlett is so far removed from the cool crowd that she'll never run into Dan. At least her first wish has happened. But Scarlett needs to learn to be careful what you wish for. Scarlett does gymnastics, and a large chest isn't conducive to flipping and flying through the air wit More...

Wow, so I think this is the first time I've ever given 1 star to a book so far on Goodreads! This book sucks you in with an interesting-sounding plot, which drives you even though the writing is horrible and the characters lame. I warn you, though, those are hours you are never getting back in your life. In my opinion, those hours are better spent doing something else. Like shampooing your cat. You will get a lot more satisfaction from your angry but nice-smelling cat than from this poorly-writt More...

The book I read for my second book report is Kiss Me Kill me by Lauren Henderson. I choose this book because the title looked very interesting and i love to read fiction books dealing with teenage drama and teenage romance. This book is about a girl name Scarlett Wakefield who is a 16 years old girl who attended a private all girls school in London. She had an ordinary life that changed so fast like a blink of an eye. it's also a mystery that Scarlett has to deal and solve in order to get her re More...

The book I read was Kiss Me, Kill Me by Lauren Henderson. This story takes place at St. Tabby’s Academy and Wakefield Hall Collegiate. Scarlet Wakefield is the main character of this mysterious novel. She is a scared sixteen year old girl hiding a haunting secret she hopes no one discovers. When the popular girls invite Scarlet to hang out with them, she suddenly is living the high life. She’s buying the most expensive clothes to impress her new friends, losing her old dorky friends, and hitting More...

I honestly have no idea what to say about Kiss Me Kill Me.

I'm going to try my hardest not to be too honest.
Because, well, that didn't work out so well last time.
Well let me start off by saying that Kiss Me Kill Me was a cute, short, and easy read.
There isn't much I can complain about, and there isn't much that I really loved about it.
It was just an okay book that I finished within a few days.
The only thing I really don't like about it is that after I finished it,
I found out that there are 3 mor More...

I would recommend this book to a friend because not many people wish for something and it happens. In this book Scarlett makes two wishes One was to have breast and the second was to kiss Dan McAndrews. Well she soon gets her first wish then she goes to a party with some girls that aren't really friends with Scarlett and at the party she kisses Dan. But Shortly after kissing him he drops dead at her feet. Everyone started to blame her for the death of Dan. So Scarlett chooses to solve the mister More...

Ever since I lay eyes on this cover, I've been wanting to read this book. And honestly? It was sort of a let-down. All the British expressions gave it a sort of young feeling (sorry, but Plum, the main mean girl of the "posh," insults Scarlett with "oaf." Not so insulting to me). The beginning was strange and seemed slightly pointless. We meet Scarlett's friends (who I didn't really like) and we see her passion for gymnastics. There was much talk of breasts that really confused me. Then we meet More...

When I first started this book, I wasn't aware that it was the first in a series. It wasn't until I was closer to the end that I began to wonder how it was all going to be wrapped up in such a few pages. After a few minutes of checking, I found that there's going to be more books to the series.

All Scarlett Wakefield ever wanted was to kiss the boy of her dreams. Unfortunately for her, that first kiss ended up killing her crush- leaving her as the prime suspect. Instantly ostracized from her clas More...

This book is about a teenage girl living in London. She isn't very popular, but she'd like to be. When Plum, the most popular girl in school, invites her to a party, she instantly says yes even though she feels guilty about ditching her friends. At the party, the guy she likes ends up dying. People instantly accuse her because he had been kissing her before he died. She transfers to her grandmother's school in the middle of nowhere because people were really mean to her since they thought she wa More...

First things first she is moved from her boarding school in London, England to Wakefield Hall Collegiate, the super elite boarding school in the English countryside run by her grandmother. She befriends Am More...

I felt so bad for Scarlett in this book. The girls at her old school are still calling her a murderer and the teachers at her new school-which is run by her grandmother- aren't nice to her either. They are even harder on her because her grandmother runs the school. Her parents are dead and her two friends she did have won't talk to her because Scarlett ditched them to hang out with the popular kids at her old school. So Scarlett is basically along in the first part of the book and you feel bad f More...

To be completely honest I was expecting Kiss Me Kill Me have more mystery within it's pages. Instead, it kind of fluttered around talking about how Plum and her followers treated Scarlett or how much she missed Dan. It didn't actually pick up the scandal/mystery about Dan's death till the end of the book. (I'm assuming that was the publishers and author's devious plan. LOL)
At first I liked Scarlett's character, but when she skipped out on her friends and got caught up with Dan's death, she becam More...

It was... Entertaining. The main character; Scarlett Wakefield remind me a lot of the people I know. I couldn't help but laugh whenever the things of significance popped into my head. I could hear my friends grumbling that they were nothing like Scarlett. Still, it's my personal opinion. I think, personally, I like Scarlett. She is almost ordinary and not at all what you call an all-round character. She have her own insecurities and longing to fit in. She was almost too normal to me that it was More...

This is the story of Scarlet Wakefield who is a gymnast and hangs with her friends Alison and Luce, until one day when the popular Nadia comes over to her and asks her to betray her friends and sit with the cool crowd, including Plum, the reigning goddess. Scarlet gets invited to a party and spends some of her trust fund money to procure the perfect top, pair of jeans and shoes and makes herself ready to go. While at the party, popular handsome boy Dan notices her, chats her up and ends up kissi More...

I love a good mystery story so when I read a review for this book I ran straight to the computer and put it on hold. I read it in under a day. I really enjoyed Kiss Me Kill Me.

I quite liked Scarlett and Taylor. I thought most of the other characters were either too mean or too weak. However, I really did like Scarlett and Taylor. Their personalities went really well together and they were a great pair of detectives.

The story line was a good one. I've never read a mystery novel quite like Kiss Me More...

Kiss Me Kill Me is divided into two parts, the first being rather dull and obnoxious. The reader knows there is a fated kiss to be dealt. Instead of being suspended for this moment I was bored and hoped for it to quickly pass. The mean-girl characters held their end of the bargain. However, the whole teen flirtation leading to the kiss was rather gross and vomit-inducing. Teens may be able to identify with this, I could not. The more interesting second half introduces a character more interestin More...

Oh boy.
Scarlett, Scarlett, whatever shall we do with you?
I can’t seem to decide if I fervently hate this or I just dislike it very much.
Either way, it’s not a pleasant feeling the one this book provides.

The main reason for that: Scarlett.
I don’t know what her problem is or maybe it’s just me, but I couldn’t stand her. She babbles on and on about clothes and shoes and other stuff she says are ridiculous. I do understand all of us girls think about that sometimes, but there's only so much space th More...

Scarlett Wakefield has two New Year’s wishes. The first is to get boobs. The second is to kiss Dan McAndrew. In a classic case of “be careful what you wish for” she gets both of these things. Her boobs grow a little bit too much, which makes gymnastics a little harder. And when she finally gets her kiss with Dan McAndrew, he dies with his tongue in her mouth. Off the bat, everyone blames Scarlett. Her only friends hate her, and she’s been expelled from her school and forced to move back in with More...

I thought it started out plain and boring, even though I was eager to find out how Scarlett took Dan's last breath by kissing him, for it was mentioned in the book's description. I was hoping for something magical or a curse, perhaps, but I was left in disappointment that it wasn't as I was expecting. But moving on, the girl was exiled to Wakefield Hall, well... not really exiled, her grandmother was a headmistress there. Everything seemed still very slow with the same old mean girls, her friend More...

I really enjoyed this book. Everyone knows the feeling of wanting to fit it. That's what Scarlett wants but when she is accepted into the elite group what is the real reason? You have to wonder when they have been ignoring you for so long. Then once she is invited to a party, and the boy she kisses dies, her life plunges into ruin and she is marked by those same girls as a murder. But Scarlett has no idea what happened to Dan and she is worried she is cursed, like a black widow, and can never ev More...

This was billed as a mystery. Set in Britain. Immediately after 16 year old Scarlett’s first kiss, the object of her affection, Dan, mysteriously falls to the floor and dies. Scarlett must transfer out of her posh girls school, to the school her grandmother runs. A mysterious note (which I found implausible) spurs Scarlett to investigate Dan’s death. And right when she discovers an important clue, the novel ends (at 260 pages). Did the publisher forget the last 40 pages? Or is Ms. Henderson writ More...

Girls and their teen drama with boys, popularity, and fashion.KISS ME KILL ME is all about that and more.It was hard for me to relate to Scarlett because I was just never one of those girls who wanted to be part of the rich, popular clique.I see the appeal, but its not for me.However,I am glad that
Scarlett sees these girls for what they really are.

There is very little development in the romance department in KISS ME KILL ME.A huge part of the novel is mainly about Scarlett coping after Dan’s d More...

3.5 stars

Kiss Me, Kill Me is the first book in Lauren Henderson's Scarlett Wakefield series although I didn't realise this when I borrowed it from the library. (I picked it up based solely on the cover lol.)
It's an interesting mix, kind of Mean Girls meets Nancy Drew with emphasis on the power of cliques and the desire to belong or fit in & concern over body image. While the story at first seemed a little implausible, Ms Henderson's inspiration for Kiss Me, Kill Me came from an article in t More...

I had a hard time with the beginning of this novel but by the end I really loved it. It was a slow start for me, I felt like there was too much background information and not enough action to begin the book, especially since the synopsis tells us what the major conflict is going to be. I really felt like I was half-way through the book and hadn’t really learned anything new or important.

However, once Dan died the story really picked up and I was very interested. Scarlett is a great protagonist, More...

kiss me, kill me was okay. I didn't really care that much for Scarlett, and that dampened any enthusiasm I might have had for the mystery. She just didn't have enough substance for me, too flaky, too self-absorbed in her woe-is-me. The other characters had a lot of potential, but they did not get that much spotlight to leave any sort of impression. The story seemed a little threadbare in details, never diving deep enough to explain that much, the events presented a little too quickly.

And when I More...
