Okay, I never got around to writing my review for this one, but it's one I've been meaning to do for months, and here's the gist of it:
I was enjoying this series. I thought I'd found a fun teenage fantasy series that I'd stick on my shelf and let my girls read someday. In the first two books there was very little, if any, profanity, sexual content, etc., and instead it focused on building the characters, believable relationships between the girl and her parents (some normal teenage angst, but no...more

Things go from bad to worse, when Jennifer takes her friends with her to Crescent Valley and they are not welcomed by the Weredragons, her mother fights with her father,and then Jennifer finds out something about her father that has her so angry! She ends up sneaking out with Skip for ice cream, falls asleep.....when she wakes up, she finds that things are not the same...in fact they are very, very different!

Jennifer Scales had the shock of her life when she discovered that she wasn't truly human. She found out who she really was right when she began to morph, which was perfect timing for her parents to tell her how she is beaststalker and weredragon. To make matters even worse, both the halves that make up Jennifer are at odds with each other.

I'm still not sure how I feel about these books. The main character, Jennifer, just seems so mean at times and I can't really relate to her. Not that I can relate to a weredragon or anything, but even when I was in the middle of my teenage angst years, I don't remember being that mean. And the whole book is just too sci-fi for me.
When I bought this I didn`t realize it was the third book in a series. And also that this is a book about teenagers – even though they are interesting dragon, spider, beast-stalker teenagers – they still are only 15 years old and that is who the book is written for. I read 20 pages and had to give up – just too `teenagery`for me.
Third book in a series that right now has 4 books. This one was very different that the other two--some good parts, some bad. I'm hoping the next book goes back to its core and reads better and more fluid than this one did. Mixed bag.

Trying to bring together dragons, werachnids and beaststalkers, Jennifer Scales is frustrated with old prejudices. When she wakes up in a world where werachnids rule supreme and the dragons are nearly extinct, she must discover the source of the enchantment and break it in order to get things back to normal.
The characterizations of Jennifer's parents continue to be problematic, with both of them coming off as irrational, overly emotional, and at times cowardly. The "what if the arachnids won" si...more

This book is definetly the weakest of the three Jennifer Scales books. The concept of an alternate universe is very interesting, but Skip went from being a semi-arrogant teenage boy to a stubborn, selfish little prat who can't think of anyone but himself. And although swear words in books don't bother me, (other books are abound with them) then context made it seem false. To me, it seemed like the authors were attempting to make Jennifer "grow up" by adding f-bombs here and there. This made her...more
I love the Jennifer Scales books, but I enjoyed this one more than the others. The whole premise was fascinating, and I hope they build more on the ends this book left open in he future.
An interesting what if alternate universe scenario. Jennifer finds herself in a world without beaststalkers or dragons. It'll be interesting to see where the next book leads too.
In an unexpected turn in the series we find out things we never even thought of.
Aside from a really long, depressing section, I enjoyed this book. As usual most things came together nicely in the end. I look forward to the unresolved issues being seen to in the next book.
Now this series is cooking with dragon butter!
Very good read, good story. Interesting characters and well written. Keeps your interest throughout. Would recommend reading this book. :o) The author weaves a very compelling story.

Really good book. The language in this book wasn't what I expected of a YA book. Other than that, it was very good and left me excited to read the next installment.
good book, didn't realise it was the last one, and not sure if I can get hold of the first two :-(
Very weird story about alternate universes colliding, also has a bit of an It's a Wonderful Life element to it as well. I also thought that the Character of Jennifer was a lot angrier than she was in the last two books, but then I can also relate to the feeling of having everything that you get near fall to ruin and that does tend to make a person angry.
I still have no sympathy for any character in this book series. So much in fact, that I didn't even have the drive to finish this drivel, and I can usualy read anything. This concept is good, but needs a different author to truly make it into something good. I will NOT be reading any more in this series.
This started out as a normal Jennifer Scales story and turned a little weird in the middle. It left me with a lot of unanswered questions that demand another book -- which should be released soon
This series is one of the best I have ever read! This is the last book in the series though, *sniffle sniffle* This was probably my favorite book out of the three! GREAT READ!!!!
Ugh! Just not my thing.
not as good as the first 2.
