Miss Mayhem is the eagerly anticipated sequel to the wonderful Rebel Belle, but unfortunately, it did not live up to its promise. Rebel Belle would have made a great stand-alone novel. I'm not sure why there's such pressure to make a trilogy - I'd rather have one really great book all alone rather than one great book followed by two lesser books. Anyway, I would recommend Rebel Belle over and over again, as well as the Hex Hall series, but Miss Mayhem can be skipped. Harper is still a great heroine, but the action and story progression are lacking. The cover of Miss Mayhem is nowhere near as pretty as Rebel Belle either, another disappointment.
