...I wrote about two new girl detectives on the YA scene

The CW’s iZombie is my new obsession—it’s smart and funny, the heroine has a great voice and tons of heart, and watching her interact with the secondary characters is just as much fun as watching her fight crime. The show has a seriously Veronica Mars–ish feel, a fact that can be chalked up to the fact that it uses pretty much exactly the same format and comes from the same creators. As so often happens, my current TV interest has had an effect on what books I pick up, and so this weekend, I got to know two new girl detectives: Jane Casey’s Jess Tennant, and Jennifer Latham’s Scarlett.
