| Rachel Vincent can evoke some serious emotions with her writing. I was so angry on Kori's behalf--she had so many bad things happen to her, got screwed over so many times, how could she not want revenge and would that revenge even be enough? At the s...more | |

I would actually rate this more of a 3.5 than just a 3--it's humorous and fun, with quirky characters and an interesting plot. Aly King wins a dream contest where she gets to jet off to Hollywood and meet the one-the only Dakota Danvers! She's super-e...more |
