Is looking dead just another fashion trend for pretty, popular Samantha, or is there something more sinister afoot? Daisy will stop at nothing to find out - she even joins the cheerleading squad. And when she discovers a vampire may be the culprit, Daisy suspects head cheerleader Samantha Devereaux, who returned from summer break with a new "look." She looks a little. But she takes matters into her own hands when she learns the victim has lots of company - teenage girls are being attacked all over town, including at Nightshade High School, where Daisy is a junior.

When her mother, who uses her power to solve crimes, enlists Daisy's older sister to investigate a teenage girl's mysterious death, Daisy feels utterly useless. Everyone in the Giordano family is psychic-except for Daisy.

Will she find out, or will her life force be taken away? It’s someone or something else that isn’t draining the blood from the victims but, the life force. Why is Samantha dressing like she’s from the dead? Daisy joins the cheerleading squad to get more information. Why? Because Samantha came back to school with a new style. Daisy suspects the head cheerleader, Samantha Devereaux is the one who is behind it all. Daisy suspects a vampire might be the one who is taking them away. Daisy and Ryan, her best friend, or maybe soemthing more, try to stop something that is taking the girls’ lives. When Daisy’s mom asks her older sister, Rose to help solve the crime, she wants to help. But, when there are mysterious disappearances of young, beautiful girls, the Giordano family tries to solve the crime.

The Giordano family is psychic, everyone, except Daisy. Dead is the New Black by Marlene Perez is about a psychic family solving a crime.
