As a freshman in college, Alex looks forward to fun times with her best friend. When Seth decides cycling through girlfriends is the way to fit in with the straight crowd, Alex must make a choice: watch Seth give his affections to another while her heart breaks or come clean with her feelings and risk losing his friendship forever. I Loved You First is a new adult love story told through the eyes of an African-American/Caucasian student who takes a journey of self-discovery while watching her best friend come to terms with his sexuality.

The blurb on the back of this work was a bit misleading. I thought the ghoul queen would have a greater role, but really her role was no more prevalent than the one she played in the last book. Yes, an important role, but I saw very little of her.

“Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all.”
― Utada Hikaru

J.R. Ward
“V rolled the Aquafina bottle between his palms. "How long have you wanted to ask me the question? About the gay thing."
"For a while."
"Afraid of what I'd say?"
"Nope, because it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I'm tight with you whether you like males or females or both."
V looked into his best friend's eyes and realized… yeah, Butch wasn't going to judge him. They were cool no matter what.
With a curse, V rubbed the center of his chest and blinked. He never cried but he felt as if he could at this moment.”

Reena Jacobs Yvonne wrote: "Thanks for adding me to your friends, Reena."

Glad we got the opportunity to hook up. :) I like your selection of books. Most of them are outside of the genres I typically read, which is great. I tend to get hooked on one genre for awhile before I get bored and decide to move on to another. Now I know who to go to for something different.


If you haven't picked up Shadow Cat, you're welcome to a free copy at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Cat-Stri...

You are correct. :) I'm trying to gain a better understanding on suspense and thriller. I'm just beginning to understand the difference between thriller and horror.
