***3.5 stars***The book was great, liked it, but somehow didn't love it. The story lacked a bit and I can't put my finger on it, but something was missing for me. :(Anyway, I'm on to the next book. :) Can't wait to see what happens!

Hmm...Well, this was enjoyable. But, let's face it, Darynda Jones could re-write the phonebook, get Lorelei King to read it to me, and it would be enjoyable. She's just that awesome, and has an absolutely wicked sense of the comical. That said, it wasn't in the same league as her Charlie Davidson se...

Well folks she has done it again. I really love the Charlie Daniels series by this author but was a little hesitant to jump in the YA world. With an author like Darynda Jones why would I not jump in? From the first page to the last I was hooked. Quirky, laugh out loud funny and full of surprises. I ...

I will try to come back and give my thoughts on this one, but suffice to say: despite my overwhelming TWUE WUV!!! for Ms. Jones's adult series, I will not be returning to find out what happens in the Darklight saga. Bleh!

This book was a random audio pick from my library. I hadn't heard of the author before, but it looked interesting, so I gave it a shot. Let me just give a big "YAY" for the lack of love triangle in the book! I think that made me love it all the more. Imagine, a YA novel with no angsty love trian...

Lorelei was raised by her grandparents since her parents went missing. On the 10 year anniversary of their disappearance, things get interesting. Cameron a boy she has known since childhood, starts stalking her. And a new boy named Jared shows up which sparks the action! Until it fizzles that is…I w...

Call me disappointed. I love Darynda Jones' adult series featuring Charley Davidson, but her new YA series did not match expectations. While I did not expect a YA equivalent of Charley, I did expect the writing to be up to par. But what we are faced with is a decent beginning with some humor and the...

I am so, so disappointed in this book. I am a huge fan of Darynda Jones after reading her Grave series, and I was expecting much more than this. It's not a terrible book, I guess, but it is very slow and confusing. There is not much action, despite the fact that its two main male pro/antagonists spe...
