I loved this! I have a soft spot for re-tellings of well-known stories of all descriptions, and this doesn't disappoint.

I especially love that Joshua's character remains true throughout - his ideals aren't sacrificed for comic effect, and there is real food for thought underlying the comedy. ]]> <![CDATA[flajol is reading Pure Blood ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67350620 flajol is reading Pure Blood

Hmmm. I'm losing the love for this series. The characters in Upon The Midnight Clear just seemed flat and uninteresting. I didn't really care whether they got together or not.

I'll persevere because I do want to read Acheron and don't want to miss any important plot lines that might pop up in that book. If Acheron doesn't revive my interest, I'll be parting ways with the Dark Hunters. ]]> <![CDATA[flajol added 'Curse the Dawn']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65675348 to: Curse the Dawn (Cassandra Palmer, #4) by Karen Chance

Cassie Palmer: TSTL. Within the first few chapters I was groaning aloud and and telling her to "Stop already and just listen to what other people are telling you!" But no, she just blunders on her merry way, causing mayhem as she goes.

That said, it's still four stars from me. Why? Because as infuriating as Cassie can be, this book is still fun, fun, fun all the way! I love the breakneck pace, Pritkin, the supporting characters, Pritkin, the vampire politics, screaming dresses, and er... Pritkin.

So, while I constantly feel the need to slap sense into Cassie as I'm reading about her exploits, I know I'm going to feel that way and just see it as part of emotional rollercoaster that this series subjects me to.

Also? Pritkin. ]]> <![CDATA[flajol added 'Red-Headed Stepchild']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63602285 to: Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane, #1) by Jaye Wells
