Via http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2013/02/paper-valentine-by-brenna-yovanoff.htmlEver since I read The Replacement by Yovanoff, I became a fan of her. Unfortunately, Paper Valentine didn't work for me.Thinking about it, I suspect it must be the ghost part of the story that I didn't dig.In a town wher...
This review is also on Living for the BooksThe first couple pages were amazing. I mean ghosts and murder? Doesn't that sound interesting? Too bad it wasn't all about the murder.The characters were kind of average, except for Lillian but I'll get to her later. I have mixed feelings about the main cha...
I have very mixed feelings about Paper Valentine. On on hand, I really enjoyed the story. The book did capture my attention very early on and kept me intrigued enough to keep reading. I was dying to find out who the killer was and his/her motivation behind the murders. I also liked the "haunti...
Appeal Characteristics ghosts, bad boys, murder, gothic tone, humor, sibling relationship, friend relationship, teen issues, identity, disorders, parent/sibling relationship, suburban life, high school That is how I literally read through the book. If I wasn't dancing through pages than my warm fuzz...
A beautiful cover, a poetic blurb, but the book itself does not reach my expectations. Brenna Yovanoff's previous works were enjoyable for me, but this book fell short.It was very disappointing. None of the characters in the book appealed to me. The murder plot was secondary and not gripping, despit...

I was slightly worried I might not like it. I tried the Replacement by her, and dropped it. Luckily Paper Valentine is a whole lot better, even if it took me some time to get into the book.I like the story, the romance was just fitting in right too. Still wondering why Lillian was haunting Hannah, a...
After reading that book blurb and looking over that GORGEOUS cover, doesn't it get you super excited to read this gripping thriller of a mystery that's about a killer stalking the streets of Ludlow and there is one girl who is able to fix it all with the help of her ghostly friends and her boyfriend...
What stood out for me the most about this book was the writing. It was very well done. The sights, the smells, and the general feeling throughout the plot was certainly felt. I loved the mood and atmosphere that was set for this story. The whole mystery mixed with some paranormal characteristics was...
I don't even know how I feel about Paper Valentine yet. It was hard to put down but it had such a sad tone it didn't make me feel great after reading it. Just not sure how to rate it yet.
