2.5 Stars
I knew going in to this that it wouldn't be a favorite of mine, but I'm a stickler for reading order. And it wasn't necessarily HORRIBLE. In fact, I can see the appeal for some readers. But I've been much more stingy with stars as of late... " Read more of this review » |

Thank you for the friend request! Looks like we have quite a few friends in common, I'll be looking forward to discussing books in the future!
Robert, thanks for the very kind friend request. I look forward to sharing thoughts, reading your reviews, etc.
You're welcome Robert. I only check in on GoodReads sporadically now but I'll try to check out your booklist.
Christine, it really depends on how you define writing. If you mean writing as in publishing, I just had my first novel come out last August. I've been writing for more than eleven years, though, but most of my manuscripts would need serious edits before they could ever see the light of day.
Thanks for the friendvite, Robert! If you ever need a Paranormal/Urban Fantasy fix then I recommend you check out my blog! I've started doing giveaways for great series to my followers:http://vampirenovelfan.wordpress.com/
Happy reading!
Thanks! I'm always happy to become a fan of a dedicated author! I hope that someday I'lle able to read your book! :D
