How I Read it: Library Check-out
Ok, remember how I was so exited about the first book and talked about it. Well, this book is so much better. Who doesn't love a soul sucking faerie that can't seem to hold herself together at the mere mention of James. And is jealous of Dee. Of course this book isn't about Dee. Well it kind of is but no one cares about that because we are Team James over here. Because James is neurotic and attempts to be funny, while dealing with the emotional strain of seeing Dee and the emotional attachment he is developing to his muse Nuala.
Anyway, can't you tell that I love this book. Because it not I can spell it out for you. I-L-O-V-E-T-H-I-S-B-O-O-K. Enough said. Go read it now. Or I will hunt you down with a stick.
Oh wait. As for the cover. I love it and I hate it. I love it for its simplici
