Yep. I enjoyed it. At first when it started off I was like.... huh... The writing style tripped me up... It came off as poetic, which was cool.

However, let's not be fooled.... this is not poetry and the topic isn't all rainbows and roses!
This is the retelling of red riding hood with a gender-bending street edge.
I freaking loved it!
Think of the original story but with kids that have rough childhoods struggling to survive....
There's love in here... and not the, boy meets girl and is blown away by saphire eyes and perfume.... This is a boy meets girl get scared runs then comes back once girl is not trying to eat him! (gee I hope that wasn't a spoiler.... :-( )

It's like a god came down on earth and grabbed a pen, wanting to bring beauty to the world.
Dare I say.... this is going to cleanse your SOUL! LOL!

She has interactive dreams with a hot guy. A deadly accident occurs! She discovers that she is descended from Greek gods and that she actually knew the hot guy. She just can't remember it all and so is unsure about who she should really trust!
Things I loved: **really cool twist on vampires.
**love triangle. . . I know people hate them but I love them!
**Really interesting main characters with sucessful development.
Things I hated: **The use of adjetives and lenghty descriptions made me pause alot. I had to do what I do with a lot of old classic novels, and kind of quickly brush over the descriptions to get into the meat of the story.
**I don't have ADD, but I am an ADD reader. For me the book took a while to get into the main plot. Its mainly because I love lots of action, but that's just me.
Thankfully, I continued to read because this book ended up being a great begining to an awesome series.(less)

I wondered that a few times as I delved into Heart of Death (HOD).
I can only divide the review into pieces discusing the novel and then the graphics.
First the Novel part was good, BUT:
--- I do believe it began slow. There wasn't much conflict at the begining. The reader more learned about Persephone. While I found her freaking--- funny and interesting--- I did have some "Get On With It" moments.
--- I didn't enjoy the narrative style at first. It kind of reminded me of a Jane Austin movie. So it took me a while to adjust.
I understood why the creators went this route. Surely, the story is set in ancient times and so that may have seemed like the most obvious path.
Other than those two problems...
---Great story telling
---Great command of dialogue
---Excellent Character Development
Now for the Graphics---
WOW.
Hot.
A few times I read the book on the train and a few people gasped behind me.
Loved the yummy graphics!!
So all together I give the book four stars AND I bought the next two acts.(less)

This book was freakin awesome!
The YA field needs more books like these.
This heroine is unique. She can read auras and thus infer what the person is thinking and what type of personality they have. She's dealt with an abusive father but we walk into her life as she gets to live with her grandmother.
Man.
I lost sleep with this book.
The only thing that I would say is that the budding romance was predictable and cliche in the begining. Here you have a lowly boy who sticks with his foster brothers. The guy and his brothers don't really hang with the other kids. But this new girl catches his attention and they start talking.....
I know. I know...... Twilight, right?
Well I freakin loved Twilight!
However, once you get the twilight cliche out of the way..... it goes into a whole different path...
And dare I say FRANK is no EDWARD... he is awesome!
I was goin to gill this review with gyrating monkeys and humping dogs... but I'm just going to buy another one of the author's books!

This is more 3.5 than 4 stars!
If you don't like a little Cock mixed in with your fantasy then do not pick up this book. There is a whole lot of Cock in here. The word Cock is said... and the cock is used. lol.
Truthfully, this book had a lot of story too, but once they get together it kind of dried off a little.
