Well I gotta say this book could have been about 100 pages shorter according to my attention span. A lot of it felt repetitive--maybe because you get the POV from so many characters so you as the reader are hyper-aware of what is going down with everyone.
I did like it. I did. But overall I would recommend borrowing this one. I will not need to read it again.

I like Jackson because she throws so much at you at once that seems like it should work and not only does it work but she makes it fun.
That being said, I think I'd enjoy this book no matter what because of Jackson's writing style. The book itself starts out a little slow and with it being on the shorter side (just over 200pgs) I felt a little wary about that. Our girl, Shelby, ends up with the boy you peg her to end up with at the very start but what is most important for me to state is even though this book is about sex it is not about teen romance. I won't say too much more because I think that reading this book with little preconceived-knowledge is better.
I did like it over all. I'd say this is a borrow book even though I bought it... Hey, I adore the author, okay?!

I started a new job this month and it. is. killing. me.

Srsly. I only read 3 books this month! WTF

I miss reading so much.

Hopefully the new month will bring a better balance to my schedule.

I finished it in under 24hrs. I loved it. The twist on angels was really cool, the story is told in multiple POVs and I liked the characters. I have the next book checked out from the library already.

I usually sway to the polarizing sides (1 OR 5 never 3) when it comes to biographical essays. This one was a 3.
She is a comedy/writer person and does it well. I enjoyed the humor and running commentary. I liked it. It was good. && then I sent it back to the library to hang with the other books.

4.5 FO SHO. I liked the world that Neill has created for her "Chicagoland vampires." I liked Merit as a lead character as well as the others around her. I look forward to the next book. =)

In the running for the best book of the month. Seriously. I have recommended this book up and down since reading it. LOVED. SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I WANT ANOTHER!!! && it is the kind of book I am going to recommend but tell you nothing about! Heh.

I don't read historical fiction often but I am glad I read this one!
Ellie is likeable and even though the teaser on the jacket suggests a forbidden love story the book isn't just about her. I really enjoyed stepping into this window of time and look forward to reading the next one!

I love Snyder's magical series. I was so excited to see that she was going to start a new one with Touch of Power. This book takes place in a new magical realm with new rules but I adored it all the same!

This book was much harder to get into than her others and by much I mean about 60pgs (vs 5-10pgs of Study, Glass & Touch). But I am glad I gave it the 100pg try!I love that Trella is another strong female from Snyder's mind and while I did guess the major mystery, I was still surprised and engrossed in the plot points and characters.
