This book has been the most exciting in the series so far. Many of the characters have been shown in a different light and all have come to prove that they each have a bit of good and bad in them, which makes some very interesting relationships. The author keeps you on your toes with unexpected events and deaths. A page turner, for sure!

This the 3rd in the Breeds series, was the best one so far. Dash Sinclair, Major in the Special Forces, receives a penpal letter from a little girl while he is recuperating in a hospital in Afghanistan. It gives him back his life. Cassie, 7, writes to him of her lonely frightened mother and Dash knows that the child and the woman are his. They are on the run and 6 months later, Dash, having retired is searching for them. He finds them just in time to avert tragedy. Elizabeth knows that the bad men are after Cassie but she really doesn't know why. Dash and his army of friends are only too happy to find out for her. I really want to find out about the fairy. LOL. Am enjoying this series and plan to continue.

What Lassie? Timmy's trapped down the well and he's gay? That's what it felt like to read How Long Has This Been Going On? It is supposedly a well written epic of modern American gay history and it certainly has high reviews on Amazon.com but I found it annoying at worst and laughable at best. The book covers from the end of World War Two through the mid 1990s. A lot happened in that time but I spent so much time rolling my eyes at the characters that I couldn't take the important parts seriously. The story is told in two main ways: in the form of dialogue between a naive character and a his (or her) older lover who has to stop and explain everything. The second way the story is told is through the overly chatty omniscient narrator. I wanted to slap some duct tape on the narrator's mouth to get him to shut up long enough for the story to actually get somewhere. Some authors can pull off this sort of chit-chat approach to story telling (Christopher Moore and Armistad Maupin for example): Mordden can't. My four-year-old is better at telling this style of story, for goodness sakes!

It is not often that an author can take the time to research and then write a compelling biography of a forgotten American hero. The pace of the book is deliberate at times, always interesting and, in the end, it gave me a perspective of the emancipation process that I had not fully understood. Sure there are dramatic events in the ex-slave's life which thrilled (his runaway danger; running an underground railway; 100 years before Rosa Parks he was arrested in NYC on a tram, same reason!) but what sticks if that his ethic, his form of intellectual opposition was the example Martin Luther King Jr. would adopt and follow a century later. I strongly recommend this book.

I have to say that I was reading three books (including this one), unfortunately for the other two books I lost complete interest and this one just took up all of my time. I ended up reading this book and could not peel myself from it. This is the first Nalini Singh book I have ever read and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. What a great storyline, characters were lovable and the heroine was very 'intriguing' (as Raphael put it) and so was her counter-parts. Raphael, I wish you were real! :) The story line flowed very well, plenty of action and romance. I can't wait for Angels Kiss.....

4.5 stars eave Myself Behind was not what I expected at all. Seriously, I did not expect this book to go where it did. I got the impression from the cover and the blurb, that this could be a heavy read. Maybe too heavy for me. I was semi-right, the plot wasn't light, but not too dark either - just the way I like it. And I liked, loved it! I found myself constantly surprised by how funny, yet sad, dark, but touching it was. One minute I laugh out loud, and the next I felt tears in my eyes. It really moved me. Noah is artistic, honest, blunt, opinionated and most of the time utterly impolite. His voice is a real teenager's, with an attitude. The narrative is clear, compelling and laced with humor. Also, Noah is gay, but deep in denial. Both he and his mother, Virginia had a sharp sense of humor and I fell in love with the both of them at the very start of the novel. I'm not sure if it was intentional or pure concidence, but her name, and her being a poet, made Virginia Woolf pop into my mind. Anybody who tells you he doesn't have mixed feeling about his mother is either stupid or a liar. Granted, Virginia York is a special case. Living with Virginia is like living with a myth. She's only half-human; the rest is equal part wolverine, hyena, goddess and rutting goat. In other words, she's a poet. Virginia was eccentric and complicated, to say the least. She loved Noah very, very much. And Leave Myself Behind was as much her story as Noah's. J.D. was an unknown entity to me and to Noah. We didn't know what to make of him at first. Is he straight? Gay? What does he want? To be friends with Noah or more? And what about his family? His mom? Is his family normal, just going through some rough patch, or is something else hidden in there? Rest assured, everything/everyone came out - pun intended -, but not always at the right time. And wow, everyone in this book had some pretty heavy stuffs in their past. And not just the people, but the house as well. In fact, it was the house that has hidden the most sinister, most destructive secret. It made me chill to the bone. I can totally understand that they didn't want any of those long-buried, horrible secrets to come to daylight. Ever. But you know what they say, nothing stays a secret, not forever. And when they do come out, they have the power to destroy everything. But it also could be a chance to rebuild, reconcile, to leave our old self behind and make things better for the second time around. They all had to go through their own dark tunnel to "reach the light", to find hope and happiness again. And that wasn't easy. Leave Myself Behind is such a captivating coming of age, coming out story. I loved it and can't recommend enough. And don't worry, while it has some dark moments, the ending is optimistic - and no, I won't tell you more.

I have to say, I am surprised to see so many bad reviews to this book.... Ok, I am not an academic, I am a disabled, very ill and with many problems in my own life, 50 years old woman, who reads to get pleasure. And pleasure this book gave me. It also gave me the wish to read Austen, (I did not even see the movie or the BBC series) which I think it is an achievement for the author.... I liked other books by Potter a bit more, but still, I reckon the kind of fiction she creates is great, funny and entertaining, which (at least under my point of view) is the point of books. In this day an age in which young people read little or none, this book makes an interesting read which I could even suggest to my 13 years old daughter.... and, foul language? I have read this book a few weeks ago, and my memory may fail me...but I don't recall language which will beat Eastenders or some other TV programs.... I liked the book. Not the best of Potter, but I really liked it. If you like me, read to have a good time, a bit of a laugh and, sometimes get emotional.... I reckon you'll like it, but, by all means: go on read the other reviews...there are many, many people who gave it 1 star....and in here I come to the thought I always get when confronted with *critics* in all forms of art.... do they write? the book critics? do they make films? the film critics? do they paint? the art critics? I always say to my child that, to criticize a singer, a musician, any person in some profession, we first have to have the ability to do at least 10% of what they do..... I reckon Potter does a good job.

This story reminded me of Julia's life, but the narrator sounds so much like Jeannie to me. I felt like I was good friends with her. Also a book to make a youngish person feel better about struggling a bit.
