Since I am running on zero hours of sleep as I write this review (woo hoo all nighter!!), I'll leave the "intelligent" blabbering for another day. It's bullet point time. **PLEASE NOTE: There are some spoilers mentioned in this review, but I have made it obvious where these points are so you can skim past and continue reading the non-spoilery segments** PROS 1) The cover and back cover blurb intrigued me enough to actually *want* to read this book without researching it in advance (read: checking any and all available reviews before requesting it). 2) I stayed up all night to finish reading JULIET IMMORTAL. There was a reason for me pulling an all-nighter--I found candy at about 1AM, got a super bad sugar rush, and the next thing I knew, I was 3/4 done with the book and it was 4:30AM. Awesome that time flew by, and it was even better that JI was a quick and relatively painless read. 3) The writing redeemed the weaknesses of the book. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future works by Stacey Jay. CONS 1) The logic in this world is severely lacking. I won't reveal any spoilers, but Juliet's death raised a red flag for me. Likewise, Juliet's ability to see auras (or not see them at certain times), could have been developed further. By the end, I was left feeling incredulous... Juliet is how old? Shouldn't she be a bit more experienced with seeing this kind of stuff by now? 2) There were a few cop-outs--particularly by the ending, which I was not entirely satisfied with. (view spoiler) 3) Too many "I love yous." If I had to read that line one more time... (view spoiler) 4) Romeo would have been more interesting had he been kept a villain. I wasn't entirely convinced of his transformation into a "redeeming" character. The ending was also... I suppose it set the scene for a second book in this series, and while Romeo was an intriguing character otherwise, I'm not buying his sudden swap. Despite the complaints, JULIET IMMORTAL was not a bad read; Juliet was a great character to follow, which I think was more important for me. Because I was able to connect with her, I breezed through the novel at a supersonic speed. I also loved how the author took Romeo & Juliet's story and made it her own. Some parts of the execution could have been better, but this YA was a lot more enjoyable compared to a lot of the other releases out in the market right now. I'd recommend this book to most fans of the YA genre. JULIET IMMORTAL is a fun twist on the Romeo & Juliet story that I think a lot of readers will enjoy. As for those who are a bit more... critical of YAs as of late, if you can overlook the cons I listed, you may enjoy this; otherwise, I would suggest borrowing a copy from a friend or from the library if you want to read it that badly.
