Rating: Summary: A definite Page turner Review: During her first semester as a freshman at Somerset University, eighteen-year-old Jenna Blake solved several mysteries while working as an assistant to the medical examiner. She dealt with the death of her best friend, and found a boyfriend she thought she loved in Damon, even though others disapproved because Jenna was white and Damon black. Now, she's come back from Christmas break for her second semester. One night, two students - a black couple - are attacked by a white man, and the girl is killed. Black students, a minority at Somerset, are quick to call it a racial crime. Then a white student is killed by a black man, and racial tensions explode. The situation doesn't help Jenna and Damon's relationship, which begins to fall apart. Jenna is determined to solve the crime before any more people are hurt, even if she can't save her relationship. But how will the police be able to catch a killer that no two witnesses can even give a similar description of? I highly recommend this book to readers ages fourteen and up who enjoy mysteries and thrillers.
Rating: Summary: More than just a murder mystery Review: I have followed Christopher Golden's Jenna Blake Series for all seven books now. I can definitely say that Skin Deep was my absolute favorite. The mystery was intriguing yes, but what really hooked me was the social issue it dealed with. Racism, black and white inter-racial dating. This is something many teens deal with today and, just as the story, opinions about such a thing are strong. I like the way Golden presented both sides of the issue, black and white. It was commendable how he got under each race's skin, even though he is white himself. I loved the voices he gave everyone. I'm sad Damon was so weird though, cause I liked Damon. Oh well, LoL. Point is, get this book if you're looking for some action, high emotions and while you read it... this book might just get you thinking about why race has to be such a big issue in our lives.

Rating: Summary: Gets you thinking....... Review: I have read this book twice. Once on my own and again for a school assignment. I used this book because we had to get a book that was universally appealing which this book is. It speaks to many people about one of the most serious conflict that we face in this world. It thought it was an extremely great book that everyone can learn from. It has a scientific appeal to it that makes the reader interested as it did me. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be on their seat while reading this.
