Sixteen-year-old Jules Verity knows exactly what's in store at her new job at castle-turned-dinner-theater Tudor Times. Some extra cash, wearing a fancy-pants dress, and plenty of time to secretly drool over the ever-so-tasty--and completely unavailable--Grayson Chandler. Except that it's not quite what she imagined.
For one, the costume Jules has to wear is awful. Then there's the dead body she finds that just kind of...well, disappears. Oh, and there's the small issue of Jules and her episodes of what her best friend calls "Psychic Tourette's Syndrome"--spontaneous and uncontrollable outbursts of seemingly absurd prophecies.
The only bright side? This whole dead body thing seems to have gotten Grayson's attention. Except that the more Jules investigates, the more she discovers that Grayson's interest might not be as courtly as she thought. In fact, it's starting to look suspicious...

I was looking for something a little different to read and this Entangled Teen title caught my attention. Β The heroine is quirky (along with her grandmother and best friend), her job a bit over the top and the storyline full of comedy and a little suspense.
Jules, who has bouts of physic moments where she blurts out whatever is presented to her, finds herself playing a psychic nun at the local medievalΒ castle tourist attraction. Β It also happens to be where the guy she’s always had a crush on, Grayson, also works along with his seemingly perfect girlfriend. Β It’s a comedy of errors that lead Jules to discover a dead body that somehow ends up disappearing. Β It’s up to Jule to figure out what happened to the girl, since no one else seems to believe her.
The story was fun, although sometimes a little too far fetched for my taste. Β Jules, her grandmother and her best friend were ridiculous, but they often made me laugh. Β This wasn’t my favorite book (since I enjoy a little more angst in my books), but it was fun and light.
