Goodreads, you're making it hard to write this review with an ad running across part of my writing space. I understand the necessity for ads, but right here? Anyway, it's interesting that much of the negative criticism listed by other readers is some of what I loved about the book. For example, the first-person narrative helped endear me to Raylene and learn more about her. And the fact that this book really is urban fantasy and not simply a romance novel barely disguised by fangs pleased me very much. That said, it's the small details that can make a book, and Priest always is good with them. In this case, it's how Raylene can be compassionate and caring, yet we're always reminded that she is a vampire. I like how Priest brings in a cross-dressing character who definitely doesn't conform to stereotype. I did sort of predict the actual ending, which makes me knock the five stars down to four (well, 4.5), but perhaps I only could foresee that future due to Priest's excellent plotting.
Dreadfully boring.

I was expecting a roller coaster ride of tests, but instead found a wonderful love story. Kate just wants her mom to be happy and she will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Even if that means that she has to move to a new town in a new state leaving everything behind. Kate has spent so much of her life being selfless and helping her mom that she hasn't had time to make friends. In Eden Kate just wants to be left alone, so that once her mom passes on she can move home to New York City and have a clean break from Michigan. When mysterious Henry gives her a choice Kate's world turns upside down and everything she believed to be true is tested. I love the world that Aimee Carter created. I also loved her take on Greek Mythology. I found myself devouring the story. Kate was easy to like. I found myself rooting for her from the first chapter. I even found myself yelling at her a couple of times. As if she could really hear me. :-) Henry grew on me each chapter. I wondered what he was keeping from Kate and kept willing him to let her in on so much more. I was definitely pleased with the ending and found myself irritated that I have to wait for the sequel. I can't wait to find out what happens next for Kate, Henry, and James. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.

Hats off, heads down. In my opinion, this is possibly Gaiman's best work so far, likewise for Pratchett, though I suppose I can't really say that as it's a collaboration. It's absolutely hilarious. It basically chronicles the End of Days (facetiously, in any event, it's a parody) as written and prophecised by the witch, Agnes Nutter whose book of prophecies, The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, never sold well, is accurate and supposedly lost forever (no one knew what happened to the excess copies). Crowley, the demon, was initially tasked with ensuring that the Apocalypse goes smoothly by his superiors below by being given charge over the Antichrist, who is just as normal as any other person you see on the streets. Unfortunately (or fortunately), he has gone "native" and would very much prefer to live amongst us (as demonstrated by his love for his 1926 black Bentley and CD collection). Then there's the angel Aziraphale, who is a rare books dealer and holds the same opinion. The story takes a twist as two supernatural beings who are residing on our plane come together for a common cause, which is to stop the Apocalypse. What makes it so funny is the introduction of a wide range of characters with each their own various idiosyncrasies and given the most dire circumstances, they engage in the most ludicrous actions (albeit viable) that reflect their quirky and fun personalities. For instance, Crowley, having gone "native", is more technologically savvy compared to his fellow demons and uses means of technology to capture souls (which is seemingly more effective as it is able to kills to birds with one stone) as opposed to his fellow demons who resort to more conventional ways (and capture one at a time). Then there is the klutzy witchfinder, Newton Pulsifer who is romantically inclined with the witch, Anathema Device. Ironically, Newton's ancestor, Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer (also a witchfinder who is probably rolling in his grave at this if he even had one) burned Anathema's ancestor, Agnes Nutter at the stake for being a witch. Fantastically brilliant. Left me wanting to go on a Discworld rampage.

I read this book for my Children's Literature course. I have always loved the story of Jamestown, Pocahontas, and the Powhatan Indians. Ever since I was a kid I have found it interesting, but for some reason I had never read this book before. Though I still found it a fascinating story, it felt like a story held at arms length. I guess because Jean Fritz is trying to be true to history and the fact that not much is known about Pocahontas' true feelings, a lot of the book says things like "Pocahontas may have felt..." etc. While I'm sure that is the most accurate, it didn't make it easy to be really drawn into the story and characters.
Nikki has her issues, she's working as a private investigator and trying to use all her abilities to help her. She's a psychic and can often trace people with her ability. While hunting down a missing teen she finds herself being saved by Michael, who also appears to have some strange abilities, including the ability to attract her. The story is pretty solid, the characters interesting and the relationship has it's ups and downs, quite like reality. I enjoyed the story and I'm looking forward to the sequels.
