Today's post is on Lois Lane: Double Down by Gwenda Bond. It is the second in her Lois Lane trilogy. It is 382 pages long and is published by Switch Press. The cover is black and white with Lois' shadow in the background and her name in red at the top. The intended reader is someone who has read the first novel and likes Lois Lane. There is very mild foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. The story is told from first person close of Lois. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Lois Lane has settled in to her new school. She has friends, for maybe the first time in her life. She has a job that challenges her. And her friendship is growing with SmallvilleGuy, her online maybe-more-than-a-friend. But when her friend Maddy’s twin collapses in a part of town she never should’ve been in, Lois finds herself embroiled in a dangerous mystery that brings her closer to the dirty underbelly of Metropolis.
Review- I loved the first book in this trilogy and I loved this one too. Lois is finally settling into her new life and having real friends for the first time. When she sees her friend's twin in trouble of course she is going to jump into it feet first. Lois is really starting to become the reporter that we know her to be and this story has all the earmarks of a great one. Clark is more present in this book from the first one as he and Lois are becoming closer and maybe more than just friends. Lois is growing over the course of these books, she is discovering herself outside of being a troublemaker, she has a strong sense of right and wrong, and she is going to do just about anything to make sure justice is served. Bond has done a great job of making these characters more modern without making them into different characters. I cannot wait to read the last one and I hope that Lois and Clark meet face to face in it.
I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
