BLURB:
Life is almost back to normal for Harper Price. The Ephors have been silent after their deadly attack at Cotillion months ago, and best friend Bee has returned after a mysterious disappearance. Now Harper can return her focus to the important things in life: school, canoodling with David, her nemesis-turned-ward-slash-boyfie, and even competing in the Miss Pine Grove pageant.
Unfortunately, supernatural chores are never done. The Ephors have decided they’d rather train David than kill him. The catch: Harper has to come along for the ride, but she can’t stay David’s Paladin unless she undergoes an ancient trial that will either kill her . . . or connect her to David for life.
REVIEW:
First book: Rebel Belle
Book one has a fun Harper, witty and ‘‘laugh out loud-worthy’’ dialogs, an entertaining storyline and a very fast pacing, while Miss Mayhem depicts a slightly out-of-control Harper, pleasant dialogs, a plot that is closer to the contemporary world than the supernatural one and a pacing that is relatively fast, too.
Miss Mayhem doesn’t live up to its first book, but is a sequel worth reading, for Harper’s narration will never bore you and the characters around her embellish the story with their unidealized and engaging personality.
Hit or Miss Books 
I haven’t read this series yet. At least it was good enough even though it was far from the first instalment.

Even though this didn’t live up to the first book for you I’m glad it was a good sequel nonetheless.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Rebel Belle although I haven’t read it yet. I’m glad you enjoyed this although it wasn’t everything you were hoping for.

When I first heard about Rebel Belle last year, I took one look at the cover, and was sold until I read the synopsis. My bookish tastes are alot different now than they were when I first started blogging, so now I’m reading to read both books! I’m in the mood for something light, funny, and fast paced, so I’ll be picking these up soon 🙂

It’s a pity this one wasn’t as good as the first book for you (second book syndrome, hmm?) the series sounds fun though 🙂

I DNFed the first book of this series 😛 But I think I’ll give it a chance again… someday. I’m glad though that you’re still liking it even though it disappointed you in some way.

It’s a shame this sequel wasn’t as great as the first book, but it is good to know it was still a fun enough read. I have been meaning to try the first book in this series for a while and it is still on my TBR! Looking forward to it ^.^
