4 stars for a awesomely original story, prefectly written characters and a burning hot romance. I had to deduct 1 star for the underaged drinking and the reference to cigarettes, partying, pills, pot and sex. I sometimes fell like the morality police when i write things like that in a review... but ...

I'll admit, in the beginning I was sure that this book sucked. Here are a few examples of why...1. When getting busted breaking into a friends room she makes up a lame story about how his mother is sick and that she's trying to get him a message in order to get his roommate to leave and go find him...

So. Before we continue with this, let me insert a disclaimer to any publishers/authors who might be sniffing around my blog. I want to take this moment to insist that I, despite evidence to the contrary, am not a hater. I love YA novels, particularly paranormal YA (though I am developing a love for ...

Meh. Nothing special. I picked this up because it had an awesome premise and as usuall I end up disappointed. What I especially hated was that inside dialog that Phe had like: "I feel connected to Zach even though we know each other for a day and he was in my dreams so we are meant to be for sure." ...

From the beginning I was hooked, and this rarely happens when I start a book. The mystery really pulled me in. It was a very unique paranormal story. It was refreshing to read one without Vampires or Werewolves. I just found out mid-way through that it was Hopcus's debut novel, I would have never gu...

On the plus side, I have to say that the book did pull me in, and I finished it easily. I like the characters, although we only get to really know a couple of them. There is potential for more growth there. Also, the ideas of genetic mutations and pagan mythology were interesting, and there is a lot...

I've actually been sitting on this review for awhile. I don't really know why I've had a hard time writing it. I think it's because there wasn't anything that I really loved or hated about Shadow Hills. It was a pretty good book. I thought the storyline was interesting, especially since the "par...
