This turned out to be an original concept that was executed poorly. The story quickly spirals into an insufferable teen drama filled with clichéd characters and terrible choices.Quincie, the main character, is trying to reopen her family's restaurant after a recent murder on the premises. She has to...
Eternal is an unlikely novel about to very different supernatural creatures. One of God and the other of the demon. Classic (also clichéd) use of opposites attract by Cynthia Leitich Smith. It started off as perky; up until the point it suddenly lifted off into the air. Not good. I had to read again...
Has Stephenie Meyers totally ruined your appetite for young adult vampire stories or star-crossed teen lovers or hunky ethnic werewovles like she did for me? Well, don’t despair! I’m about to introduce you to a genre-blending fantasy novel set in Austin, Texas that will restore your faith in the und...
I came love this book quickly. It has the classic vampires and shifters with humor thrown in to lighten things up. The plot was amusing but deep and it defenitly had some twists I never saw coming.
Oh, this book... I don't know how I was able to get through it but I did. I am not too happy with how this book was executed.

And I was never quite positive whether this was meant to be an alternate universe, or what. I have to say, though, this is one of the rare times when having a model photograph ...

Quincie helps runs the restaurant, which is undergoing a renovation...
I read Eternal which I found lacking and went back to read this one to see if I’d enjoy it any better. I should have known better.The writing is still very off putting and the world building just as lame and inconsistent as book #2 in the series. I can’t quite put into words what is wrong but I fe...
I don't know that I would've listed this one on the Best Vampire Books list, maybe if I was a YA. It wasn't bad, just "soft". Definitely could see YA's liking it more than I did. The vampire-themed restaurant was a neat incorporation into the story. All in all, this book was more about young lov...
