Meet Corinne Carol Anne, otherwise known as Cory. Cory is a sad, chubby, little goth girl. She's also a bit on the white trash side of the fence and just happens to work the graveyard shift at a Chevron station. Cory, who absolutely hates herself, her life and her town, is not a very lovable character. She is rather on the pitiful side.

After a few paragraphs of smack talking and descriptions of herself as a tough chickie...the book veers right into statements that only halfway make sen More...

Shannon rated it:

A college student by day and convenience store clerk by night, Cory is working hard to find a way out of her small town and low income upbringings. At the start of the book, Cory is introverted and lacks confidence; she hides behind died hair, black lipstick and body piercings. Through the course of the story, we see her growth as a person, in relationships, education, magic abilities, leadership skills, and appearance.

Everything changed for her the night that a Arturo came into the More...

This book introduces us to Cory, the imperfect, eminently likeable heroine of Amy Lane's Little Goddess series. She leads a mundane life working at a gas station and taking classes to better herself and get out of the little, nowheresville in which she lives...until one day, she's touched by an elf who awakens her powers and introduces her to a world simmering just below the surface of her life.

Cory falls in love with Adrian and becomes a part of Green's Hill, a world populated by More...

Such a wonderful book. The characters are wonderfully developed so that you become completely engrossed in the story and their lives. Amy Lane has created wonderful characters in Cory, Adrian and Green, and a wonderful supporting cast in Arturo and Bracken. There is a very sexual side to her main characters which I think she presents wonderfully. She writes it all in such a way that I think it would be hard for anyone to take an issue with the relationships amongst them as she makes it all q More...

As a general rule I don't review books I have not finished, but I sense the fault was not entirely mine. Ok, so I was time constrained reading this because it was a Kindle lend and I had borrowed too many books for someone with ADD to read in two weeks. but I started this one 4 days before I had to return it and that's my average time frame for reading a book (as long as I'm interested enough). I read the first 25% in one seating, could not put it down. I thought, hey, I may even finish this bef More...

Fair warning: you have to be pretty open-minded to read this. If you’re not, that’s too bad, because you’re missing out on a great story. Cory meets, and falls in love with a vampire, Adrian, and an elf, Green, and there is a touching love triangle between the three. Although the development of these relationships is a big part of the story, it isn’t the only thing that happens. The preternatural community is being targeted by someone, killing them off in a gruesome manner. Cory, Adrian, and Gr More...

Good reviews are available for this book, so I will only comment that this is one of my alltime favorits. The characters are very well developed, and storyline is interesting. Very emotional journey watching heroine grow and learn to love and to accept love.

Although there are editing errors, IMO the excellence of the story transcends the errors. Amazed this author hasn't been picked up by a major publisher. I recommend this book to to everyone that enjoys Paranormal romantica.

Absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth it!!!, August 6, 2009

Vulnerable, to me, is about tolerance, acceptance and love.

The story starts off with introductions to Corinne Carol Anne Kirkpatrick "Cory" (human), Arturo (elf), Adrian (vampire) and Green (elf).

Cory is a normal small town girl. Going to junior college and working a night job. She has dreams to leave, to see More...

ALPHAreader rated it:

Cory had a plan to get out of the California Foothills. She was going to study hard, escape her parent’s double-wide and hitch a ride on a University scholarship. In the mean time, she works the graveyard shift at a gas station.

The graveyard shift is pretty monotonous and soul-sucking. So it suits Cory’s Goth-bitch persona pretty damn well. But in between crunching out English essays and barely tolerating her customers, Cory stumbles across a whole new world as it tramples through h More...

1 star for grammar and editing, but 5 stars for the story. Overall 3 stars.

Amy Lane obviously channels Laurel K Hamilton........both the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry series. Vulnerable is still a great story with wonderful character and great world building. For those who like sex, multiple partners, or sexual freedom.....you'll like this book. There is action, blood, guts, and a pyscho with a grudge. There are the good guys who care and honor about their people and help others find More...

I think the first half of this book was poorly written. I had a hard time following a lot of the story because the sentences were not written well and it made it very confusing. I feel it would really benefit the book and the author to rewrite the first half of the book.

That being said, I loved the last half of the book. It was really captivating and the characters really started to grow on me. Like some of the other reviewers, I did think some of the characters fell flat, especiall More...

I actually stumbled across this in one of the strangest of places- a used bookstore that I haven't visited much since I got my Kindle. So thank you Amy Lane for getting me back to the neighborhood bookstore, but also for your wonderful addition to the Indie canon. This is an excellent read. This reminds me a lot of Laurel K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series. This is a seriously excellent piece of urban fantasy- vampires and fey in the Sierra foothills. The characters are good, the romance is fo More...

I usually don't like first person narratives because you don't get the detail that I love with world-building. The author makes Cory an intelligent but very down to earth character so she is properly scripted and eloquent in descibing her surroundings, experiences, and her interactions with the other characters in the story. I also thought it ingenious to use 3 POV's to tell the story. Doing so gave tremendous insight to each main characters feelings. And that allowed us to connect and understan More...

The writing's a little simplistic but I liked Cory and I loved Green and Adrian and hey -- any book that allows for the possibility that love transcends gender preferences is okay by me.

Leaves the horrific Anita Blake series in the dust, frankly.

I started reading this book about a week ago, and I just can't seem to get through it. I wanted this book to be so enthralling, but it's just not capturing my interest.

All in all, i'm kinda dissapointed :0(

I have heard about this series from friends on an Amazon thread and ordered all 3 books of the Little Goddess Series by Amy Lane. Being an avid reader and not so new to PNR, I have felt some of the more well known authors and their stories were starting to blend together and looking a little the same.

This story starts out with an idea that made me sit back a minute and think of my own life. How one thing in one moment in time a touch a look can change EVERYTHING..

What a fantastic book! I loved everything about it. Cory discovers a whole different world that's always been around her, falls in love twice, loses one of her loves and tries to live.

As an aside, I lived around that area for about 15 years and still live very close so as she is describing all these different locations, buildings, streets, I'm thinking, "I know that place, I've been on that street, I've shopped in that store." I loved her descriptions of the climate an More...

I have no words to describe the sensual beauty of this novel. I fell head over heels in love with Adrian . . . and Green, and Bracken and . . . This is the most errotic and emotional story I've ever read. But the sex scenes arn't rounchy, they're heartfelt and lovely and very, very hot. The prose is written so fluidly that it feels like poetry. I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, paranormal, sci-fi, well, to anyone and everyone. Amy Lane deserves to be picked up by a top-name publ More...

This cannot be a full review because I read this about a year ago. What I can remember and say about this is: it's a unique kind of book. I thought the story while not tremendously different from a lot of other UF it was uniquely presented in certain ways.
I wouldn't recommend this book to my friends. I would suggest it for anyone who is extremely tolerant of grammar or editing mistakes. This will please some people but not most who are experienced or critical readers. Needs more polishin More...

This book is about a girl named Cory, she studies and works the graveyard shift in her spare time. A guy named Autoro touches her one night and opens up her sight to everything other in the world. She then starts to notice Adrian who seems like the typical play boy type but spends months trying to woo Cory. She eventually gives in and goes to stay with him at the foresthill where she gets to know him and see's another side of him. While she's the More...

This book was quiet slow. The series has a lot of potential but the pace has to improve. The writing style was very different. One I haven't come across before. The beginning was very slow so it took me a while to get into the book. I felt like I could have enjoyed the book more if Amy Lane had just paced it right and made it not drag so much. I did like most of the characters. Adrian was great and so misunderstood, Cory completely underestimated herself and Green had such an unlimited capacity More...

I liked it, then I didn't like it, then I loved it, then I hated it. Do not be fooled by the numerous raving reviews you'll find for this book, particular on Amazon. It's lauded as something original, clever, boundary-pushing. The worst part is, it could have been. Could have. But it's not.

I can understand why people want to like this book. There is something there, a wonderful idea for a story that might have been great if treated right; unfortunately, it was completely mangled by hor More...

I've been an avid reader for nearly forty years and have found that many of the novels (especially the newer ones that I pick up from big publishing houses) have all began to sound as if they were written by the same person using various names. The characters lack viable human flaws, the conversations all run along the same lines, and the story line seems to be mass manufactured.
I picked up Amy Lane's Vulnerable due to a forum on Amazon and was delighted! Ms. Lane's writing is fresh, decr More...
