Lena Dimitrova arhldimitr86b8 — *double review with Smash* Smash: The Body Finder...love the title. Macabre, gritty, to the point. :) Ashley: Duuuude, I got CHILLS just from the prologue... Right? Smash: The prologue was wicked. It set the scene for a very intense, creepy story! The entire book was eerie as hell...but before we get creeped out, let’s talk about puppies and rainbows! Or rather, Violet and Jay. :) Ashley: Oooh so you want to talk about sweet, sexy, dreamy... Jay?? Smash: Isn’t he fantastic? I met Kimberly Derting at a signing not long ago, and she gushed about Jay. I hadn’t yet read the book, but damn, she wrote herself an almost-perfect boy! Ashley: Totally agree, he was WICKED hot! *sigh* Smash: *daydreams* Ashley: Okay! Violet can sense the dead, sometimes it’s a smell, a color, or a taste in the back of her mouth... Smash: Yea, she describes them like a beacon -or an echo- and they help her hone in on the...remains... :( Ashley: These dead bodies don’t like TALK to her or anything though, they just send ‘signals’ to aid in her finding them! Smash: It’s her sixth sense, I guess. Not a sense I’d like to have. I think Violet feels the same way, at first... Ashley: Oooh! If you could have a sixth sense what would it be??? Smash: Does X-Ray vision count? I’d be quite happy seeing what’s underneath Jason Momoa or Joe Manganiello’s jeans. :) Oh wait, this is a YA book! Ashley: Ha! You=Made of WIN. People know us... we’re too overly (whats a word for not filtered?) Smash: um... Ashley: ...honest for our own good! Smash: yes...honesty is the best policy. *angel face* Ashley: Okay... back to the review! What were we talking about? Whether Jay wears boxers or briefs? No? Smash: Sounds like you want my sixth sense too! Ashley: Dude, like I said- that idea is MADE of WIN! Smash: Holla! Ok, back to Jay’s briefs. Oh, I mean. Wait. Let’s get our thoughts in order. *deep breath* Ashley: *FOCUS* So Jay and Violet have been best friends for years. Smash: Practically since elementary school. They know the ins and outs of each other’s lives and are bosom buds til the end. Ashley: Only lately, Violet has been feeling much more than JUST friendly type feelings towards Jay. But so has damn near every other chick in school. Smash: Seems as though Jay has filled out them briefs over Summer break. *wiggles eyebrows* Ashley: You’re bad... I JUST got over the hot flashes from earlier. Now I must start the deep breathing ALL over again. #SmashFail ←- Yeah, I totally just rocked a hashtag in the middle of our review. Smash: #TwittaWhoreFTW. Ok. Back to the story. I’ll be good. *puppy dog eyes* Ashley: Uh huh... SURE! Okay! Violet is desperately trying to forget her new-found feelings for Jay, when Grady asks her to homecoming... and Jay gets ALL kinds of worked up about it! Smash: THAT was a clear indicator to us readers, but they are both still so oblivious. I wanted to smack their heads together sometimes! Ashley: Right? I’m pretty sure Jay KNEW he loved Violet, but Violet didn’t know he did! Smash: Ahhh...the insecurities of teenage love...glad that shit is over with. :D Ashley: Right? SO glad dating is over! Although... I still wouldn’t mind seeing Jay without pants on! *giggles* Smash: YOU! Don’t you go off on the deep end now, too. We need to stay focused. Chant after me...Jay is delicious in his briefs.. I mean, Violet has a wicked, cool, scary sixth sense! Ashley: UGH! Team ADHD... strikes again. Did we mention that Violet found a dead body at the lake? Or have we gotten there yet? Because several girls go missing and Violet makes it her personal mission to hunt the killer down. Smash: You see, Violet can not only sense the dead, but she can also sense the death imprints on the killers!!! Ashley: Yes! And every once in a few chapters we get a glimpse inside the killer’s perspective... Uuuum... it’s WICKED creepy! When the weird old guy grabs the girl and sticks her in his TRUNK, but whispers, “I promise not to hurt you.” I was thinking- WTF dude?!?! Smash: Yea, in case you were wondering, don’t ever trust a guy that stuffs you in his trunk. #justsayin. I agree about the scenes from the killer’s perspective. They were so creeptastic! I can definitely tell that the author loves scary movies/books. Ashley: Definitely. NEVER go willingly into some horrifyingly scary guy’s trunk. Not a good plan. So after, Violet decides to go looking for the killer... at least she called Jay first! Smash: Yea, and he’s pretty unhappy with her attempts at being a hero, but you can just feel the love he has for her permeating the pages. Ashley: Oh, I completely agree! They were absolutely ELECTRIFYING together... After Grady turns out to be the Worlds Biggest Jerk Face EVER (DOUCHEBAG!), ←- yeah, what she said! Jay rescues Violet from Grady, but another girl goes missing from the party they were both at! And now it feels wicked personal because it hits so close to home. Smash: As Violet becomes more wrapped up in the game of cat and mouse, she helps to uncover the killer but not without some serious close calls! Jay, of course, is sincerely concerned for her throughout and risks it all. *swoon* Ashley: I, for one, was wholly satisfied with the ending of the book... and the way everything wrapped up. I could not believe there was no cliffhanger- since they are so largely popular these days. Smash: I agree. Great story, great romance, great villain, great mystery. It was just great all around. :) Smash’s fav line: “Sorry about that...I’ve been so worried about strange men following you around that I forgot how dangerous Homecoming Queens can be.” -Jay Ash’s fav line: “I can’t lose you, not now that I finally have you.” ~Jay (during a wicked make-out session, if I’m re-calling correctly.) (oh, those make out sessions!) *SWOON*

Delrieu Petraud _hristel_itou — I know some people really liked this book. Maybe I just don't do the whole short story thing who knows. But I had a HARD HARD time getting through some of these. I'm going to finish up the Charlaine Harris story and probably the Sherrilyn Kenyon story and I am calling it good. This one is definitely going on paperback swap!

Varun Jaiswals varjais4 — I really enjoyed this novel. Rather than being focused on Jesse James, it followed the life of his mother who was just as fascinating a character as her outlaw son. I'm not sure how much I would have enjoyed and understood the story, however, if I didn't already have a fairly good grasp of the history of Jesse James. The book jumps around and a person unfamiliar with Jesse James might be confused at points. Yet, the point remains that the story is about Mamaw, Zerelda Cole James Samuel, not her son. She lived a hard life, a life more exciting than she might have liked, but it was a full life.

Moisés Vilches moisesvilches — Good spiritual reading.

Manit Prathummee manitprat — Hui! Schließt die Rolläden, zieht den Telefonstecker und packt das imaginäre Popcorn aus! Ich habe mit diesem Buch zum ersten mal die Urban-Knutsch-und-Kuschel-Pfade von Edward, Harry und Co. verlassen, ohne so recht zu wissen, auf was ich mich einlasse. Den roten Faden hatte ich für mich schnell gefasst: erzählt wird die Geschichte der Jagd auf eine Bestie, deren blutige Spuren sich vom Frankreich des siebzehnten Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart ziehen. Dabei begleiten wir die Wildhüter-Familie Chastel, mit der alles seinen Anfang nahm, und deren Nachfahre Eric von Kastell, der dem Untier in unserer Zeit an den Pelz will. Dazu muss ich sagen, dass ich eigentlich keine ständigen Zeitsprünge mag. Und keine Schubladen-Charaktere à la "Der Jäger", "Die Frau an seiner Seite" etc. Und Geschichten im Stil von "Mann mit Bazooka gegen den Rest der Bösewichte-Welt" schon gar nicht. Erstaunlicherweise hat mir dieses Buch trotzdem richtig gut gefallen. Die Sprünge unterbrechen den Lesefluss nicht, sondern schaffen zusätzliche spannende Fragezeichen. Mir persönlich hat dabei die Geschichte im vergangenen Gevaudan etwas besser gefallen, weil mir die Figur des Jean Chastel so sympathisch war. Aber beide Handlungsstränge sind toll geschrieben und kein Fall von doppelt-gemoppelt hält besser. Es wird zwar am Klischee-Buffet aus den Vollen geschöpft, aber das geschieht mit so viel Liebe zum Detail und überraschenden Wendungen, dass mich das nicht gestört hat. Und was mich dann letztendlich wirklich begeistert hat, das war der Schreibstil von Herrn Heitz, gegen den die Kameraführung von James Bond und Co. teils recht blass daherkommt. Er ist rasant, er ist explizit, er ist witzig und schafft damit ganz großes Kopfkino! Nur an manchen Stellen musste ich auf "Not-Aus" schalten: Ausdrücke wie "soff sein Blut" lösen bei mir kein Schauder-Kribbeln, sondern einfach nur Ekel aus. Auch gab es den ein oder anderen Logikfehler (und sagt jetzt nicht, dass bei Indiana Jones auch niemand nach Plausibilität fragt) und das Ende war mehr als unbefriedigend. Fazit: Sicher nichts für reine Romantiker und penible Meisterdetektive. Aber wer derbe, dunkle Spannung und blutig-unterhaltsame Action sucht, der ist hier absolut richtig! Nur den Folgeband sollte man am besten gleich mit bestellen- alles Andere ist wie Teich ohne Wasser.

Edouard Penin isthatcentered — See review to Angus, Thongs, and Full-frontal Snogging.

Fanni Bajer maxyvert — Filled with annoying, drugged-out teen girls and Barr's usual horrible writing. I'm giving it two stars because it didn't have typos like the last one (maybe they were cleaned up from the hardcover edition?) and because there were outdoor scenes in a snowy wilderness requiring survival skills. Yes, superhuman survival skills; any normal person would be dead of hypothermia and blood loss after a night walking around in winter in Yosemite wearing a turtleneck and a fleece on a cracked ankle and a gunshot wound. Also you're not supposed to drink from mountain streams, which often contain giardia and give you giardiasis. Maybe if you already have a cracked ankle and a gunshot wound you don't care about a severe diarrheal infection, though. Also a not very realistic scene where the hot guy, who is ten years younger than Anna, who is approaching fifty, wants to sleep with her even though her face is all bruised. Mm hmm. And she almost does, even though she has just gotten engaged to her fiance who is petsitting back in Mississippi for her. But then she is given a note from the fiance, which reminds her that she is engaged. Sure. I wouldn't mind all the non-realism if Barr would just write better.
