![]() It took me a while to warm up to this book. I plan on reading the other books in the series, in part to see if Dex ever turns into a better man, and to find out what secrets he is hiding. It is the first in a series, about Dex and Perry and their ghost hunting webisodes. She has mysterious proclamations for Perry, about how she and Dex need to help each other, and their work is not done. Apparently only Perry and Dex can see her. There is a creepy clown lady that keeps showing up. And yet Perry finds herself more and more attracted to him as the book progresses. ![]() He sends mixed messages about his attraction to Perry, at times flirting, at other times ignoring, or talking about his gorgeous girlfriend, Jen. And he may or may not be telling the truth. He is a little too sarcastic for my liking. I didn't really like, Dex, the man Perry gets involved with during her ghost hunt. ![]() I liked that at 15 she already had a successful blog about fashion. Her family was interesting too, especially her younger sister, Ada. She is 22 years old, still lives with her parents, and trying to find her place in the world. ![]() ![]() What I enjoyed about the book was the main character, Perry. But for the reader, it really was not very scary. I thought that it would be a very scary book. I felt a little mislead by the title "Experiment in Terror". I can't believe that I read the whole book in one day! I would actually give this about 3.5 stars. ![]()

Now she returns with the gripping and expansive story of America’s coming-of-agetold through the extraordinary life of Gypsy Rose Lee and the world she survived and conquered. She shared many stories about her relationship with Gypsy–they were sort of death bed confessions. With the critically acclaimed Sin in the Second City, bestselling author Karen Abbott pioneered sizzle history (USA Today). She was still gorgeous but fierce I had the feeling that, if she were so inclined, she could leap up from that bed and strangle me with her bare hands. She had her white hair done up in these little pigtails and was eating her favorite snack of Oreos and milk. The first time I met her she was 96 and had been bedridden for years I couldn’t imagine how frustrating it must’ve been for someone who had been dancing since the age of two to lose the use of her legs. Erik implied that it wasn’t actually a cow at all but someone who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time… And talking with June Havoc was like time traveling back to the 1920s. For example, Gypsy’s memoir contains a scene in which her mother accidentally shoots a cow while they’re camping.
