What I liked about this book: the beginning-Rose's reaction to her cheating boyfriend is probably what every girl wishes how she'd react, if she were cheated on!
the humor in the story was done nicely.
the werewolf hierarchy was written very well as were the problems that came along with it.
i really liked Erin,not only was he cute but his reaction to finding out about the supes was exactly how a kid would react. An adult would worry over the implications or even doubting the possibility but a kid would just accept it!
What I didn't like: the book was a little too detailed-scenes like conversations on the phone or even between people could have been mentioned and done with. Instead, they were described in detail.
everybody and I mean everybody was pretty-too pretty!
the vampires didn't do it for me at all-they were too touchy feely and not the predators that I'd imagined they would be-though maybe other readers would like way they were portrayed because it was different.
there were too many characters- I get that the Fae needed the representatives of all the races but maybe a werewolf or two could have been dropped? ...more

I liked the dark ambiance of the world created in the story but I do think a little background about the world existing parallel to this one was needed. I mean, I couldn't understand, if everybody knew about that world or was it a secret. And if everybody knew about it, why was the appearance of a vampire such a shock? The ending felt a little abrupt to me too. I'd like to read the next one before I decide....more

What I liked: the beginning-it was fun and made me want to read ahead. the humor-it was light and done well. Tung's name and his butchering of the modern slang were all funny. the concept this book was based upon was quite interesting.
What I didn't like: there's such a thing as oversimplifying things-I may have liked it in other books but it bothered me in this one. the chapters constantly ended with "if x had known what y was doing, he may have been worried" and that got old after a while.
Maybe it wasn't my kinda book but it may be yours, so give it a try....more

The story intrigued me from the very beginning! It was the right amount of scary and there were parts where I was screaming at the characters for how stupid they were being– always a good sign! Then there were parts where I kept thinking I’m going to be really mad, if all of this turns out to be Mary’s imagination/sickness. The ending..woah! Scary and creepy and well done. Really want to read the next one in the series! ...more

My name is Constance and this story starts the day I was ripped apart. “ This was how the book began!
What I liked about it: the beginning, of course. the way the teenagers kept squabbling even when they got their powers– it didn’t change the fact that they were just kids. Maria and her issues made the story more believable-finding you have superpowers doesn’t turn you into a saint. the absence of any love triangles– or even a love interest. It was refreshing to read a YA book without those.
The story will be fun to read by youngsters. A good beginning to surely an interesting series. ...more

So, I started this book, just to see what it was like and then I couldn't stop reading! The events are confusing and the mystery will make your head spin but you won't wanna stop. It is difficult to understand about the different kinds of magic in that world but I think that adds to the charm. Blake made me laugh the whole time and I would have loved to know more about his teacher too. One thing that I felt was missing from the story was the professors' POV. It'd have been a good addition to the story. Everybody seemed to have their own secret agenda and the snooty attitude of the professors towards the student was really funny. The humor was really done well and I kept marking parts to share with friends. I wouldn't wanna miss the next installment! 3.5 stars to this one!!...more

The story caught my interest from the very beginning and the author created a really scary atmosphere with his words, as it progressed. This short was about Miss Locks, an independent woman who has just settled down after a lifetime of travel. As she's getting ready for her date, she realizes someone's in the house. At first, I was disappointed by the ending, thinking that the author built our excitement up needlessly. But then I realized, the drooling paralyzed version of Miss Locks could only be her fear of losing control over her own life. She was a lady who has let nothing encumber her from traveling the world-family,love,kids,job etc. Her biggest fear would be living paralyzed, confined to her bed for the rest of her life. And that's when I added another star to my rating. ...more

What I liked: the story was fast paced and a quick read that Amy gave as much importance to her family, as she did to her career
What was confusing: all the references to the terms used in Jewish religion made it hard for me to get the story.
What I didn't like: that we weren't told Amy was a shapeshifter and it was sprung upon us....more
