Studying in the tenth grade has never been so difficult. Ten years ago, Lorelei McAlister's parents disappeared without a trace, and only now she is beginning to get used to the idea that she will never see them again. We need to somehow move on with our lives. After all, she has grandparents and friends who will always support her. Besides, studying in high school turned out to be not at all as creepy as it seemed at the very beginning. But this is what happens when you fall in love with the angel of death. Suddenly, Lorelei begins to be pursued by the school's inveterate loner, Cameron Lusk. Moreover, he ends up where she doesn’t expect to see him, and even hangs out at night under the windows of her house. And a stern, gloomy-looking and very sexy newcomer appears at school - Jared Kovacs. Animosity immediately arises between Cameron and Jared, the cause of which seems to be Lorelei. Soon, the usual life will change forever. What does Jared know about Lorelei's parents? Why does Cameron say Jared can't have her? And what will they all do when Death himself knocks on the door? Death and the Girl Next Door is a gripping, daring, sexy and twisted story that once again proves that Darinda Jones is a force to be reckoned with.
