Review:My grandson, age 8, was so enthusiastic about the book that he loaned it to his teacher to read. Then he used his allowance to order the entire series. Their mom reads it to my six-year old granddaughter who thoroughly enjoys it also. Read more
Review:These books by Brackston are somewhat interesting but there's too much "talk" and not enough action. She's too wordy for the most part - you get the impression she's trying to build up her work by talking and talking and talking. Read more
Review:It's a romance told mostly from the male perspective. And as Victor is the character with the most personality, it's fine that way. Kinda confused about where vamps come from if they're not born though, since Victor never makes mention of having a human life.
The writing is also unsubtle, as in I'm told a lot of information instead of shown it. Read more
Review:Tilda's husband died in an accident. A year later, she moved into a small cabin by a lake that was meant to be their dream home.

Review:I picked up the book yesterday and immediately started to read. I got caught up in the beginning trying to figure out what Leah was. Then everything changed within the story...
This is a great read and has a twist that the reader will not see coming! Read more
Review:This book was disappointing. Nora is a vacuous English doctorate candidate? How is that even possible? She does develop toward the end of the story, but I was too irritated by her to care. The plot is a cool concept (which is why I read to the end), however it would have been better used on a more developed character. Comparing Nora to Hermione is a HUGE stretch, and frankly an insult to one of the better written female characters in modern-day literature. Read more

Especially in today's day and age. It doesn't sound that unfathomable. Kudos to the author for this book. I cannot wait until the conclusion. Read more
