Long Time No See

So … How’s it going? It’s been awhile, huh? I hope you’re doing well. You look fantastic. Oh, what have I been up to? Well … I started dating again (yikes), I got a new job (hooray), and, througha series of serendipitous events, I sold the Princess of Twilight & Dawn series to MP Publishing. I know! I’m very excited too. The first book, which has been renamed The Uncovering, will be out on...

I wanted to love this book, I really did. It just didn't happen. There are too many characters and subplots and who knows what all else to keep track of. I am about 75% of the way through but I don't think I'll get much further.

Normally I am skiddish about reading the dreaded "middle book" in a given series but this is one of the very few that is actually BETTER than the first novel. I absolutely lov...

Jes Young and 1 other person liked She-Wolf Reads's review of Underneath (Princess of Twilight and Dawn, #2): " 4.5 Stars! This review assumes some understanding of the events from the first book in the trilogy. With UNDERNEATH, author Jes Young brings us back to the world of Tab Bennett, the Princess of Twilight and Dawn, and it’s a much, much darker wor... " Read more of this review »

“Dying is overrated. Human sentimentality has twisted it into the ultimate act of love. Biggest load of bullshit in the world. Dying for someone isn't the hard thing. The man that dies escapes. Plain and simple. Game over. End of pain...Try living for someone. Through it all-good, bad, thick, thin, joy, suffering. That's the hard thing.”
