I didn't know what this book was about when I grabbed it at BEA. I kinda like not knowing what I'm getting into when reading a book. But I must say that I was blown away with this story. There were a few clunky moments with the writing, but we'll chalk it up to first-time writeritis. But I will say this, Daisy Whitney is a kick-ass writer. And the s

What is there to say that hasn't already been said about this book? Let's start with my hesitancy to read this book. I read and enjoyed the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, but did I think the author was inventive, creative, and unique? Nope, a lot of the elements in the Gemma Doyle Trilogy have been told before and will be told again in various ways. I thought Libba Bray was a one-series wonder and that was it.

I was wrong and I owe Ms. Bray a BIG apology for ever thinking that.
Cameron Smith is your typical 16 year guy who also happens to be a twin. His sister is popular, pretty and dates the hottest guy in school. Who also happens to be a douche and has 'found' God since a career ending injury.
Cam's father is disappointed in his son's grade, because he should be striving to be more than mediocre, but

I'm going to try to do a service to this book because it is so good. Some of you may know that I haven't been able to stop crying while reading this book. I don't know if there are enough adjectives to describe this book. But I'll do the best I can.Mia is a seventeen year old cellist. She has a 7 year old brother and two parents who are the hippest, coolest parents a girl could want. Mia's

This is not a book I would normally read but I have read several reviews on this book from the link-up party. I have to say your review was the best synopsis of the story I have read! Thank you for explaining some of the book's details and actually making me interested in reading this book.
Great writing, great review.
I am running....CYM
We have this book. I think I'll move it up a few notches in my pile!
Came over from Cym Lowell's McLinky links for Book Review Party Wednesday.
I've seen this book around the blogosphere but never picked it up. The cover art and the premise never attracted my reader's eye. In fact, the book cover got rejected by my fantasy buff reader's buying sensibility. Maybe I need to look into this book a little more with a whole lot less jaundiced eyes ;) Thanks for sharing your views.
