I'm not a teenage reader but I enjoy urban fantasy for fun reading. Some Girls Suck had plenty of good plot and subplot action and developed the situation without a lot of "tell the reader rather than show the reader" writing that you can sometimes encounter in early books by young authors.Canadahttp://somuch2thank4.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636905407519579722.post-74820981759631966942012-06-21T06:17:37.866-05:002012-06-21T06:17:37.866-05:00I liked this story.

It was great to finally find out that Manny is at least part vampire, although I suspected that from hints in previous books. To find out that he was Butch's brother was awesome....LOVER REVEALED is my all-time favorite of the series. (I hope that Manny follows Butch's lead and goes thru the transition). I love the author's style of writing but thought there was a little too much of the over-the-top allegorical internal dialogue that the characters are famous for. It was very funny and intriguing in the early books but seems to be too heavy-handed and overused in this book. All in all, a great read for a series fan....I am so waiting for the next one!Espanahttp://findingselfbelief.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636905407519579722.post-14777689969207124082012-05-09T05:57:28.683-05:002012-05-09T05:57:28.683-05:00When a book makes me cry, when it makes me feel as...When a book makes me cry, when it makes me feel as if something heavy is sitting on my chest or weighing on my mind, when characters make me sit and think about them long after I've finished their story, I have to give that book 5 stars. Given all the excellent reviews for On the Island, I was expecting that I would like this book, that it would be a good read for me as well, but I did not expect to end up caring, or even crying (probably more like actually bawling at times). Just now, after having finished the book, I'm still thinking about Anna and TJ.<br /><br />You know what happens in this story: a tutor and her young student are stranded all alone on a tropical island, basic premise with a basic theme, but this is more than just an older woman/younger man romance. For that matter, it's more than just a romance. It's a story about survival, about facing life and death, about longing, but most of all, it's about a true love, something deeper and which stretches beyond romance and those strong but maybe superficial feelings of desire and want. These are two characters who actually put the needs of a lover before want and desire.Espanahttp://findingselfbelief.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636905407519579722.post-42031078955953247912012-01-24T20:03:43.152-06:002012-01-24T20:03:43.152-06:00Hunter and Corinne's love story was beautiful,...Hunter and Corinne's love story was beautiful, yet so complicated. I love Hunter and the history behind the strong silent deadly man. It left the plot open for the next book; I can not wait to see what happens with Harvard aka Chase.
