Groundwork for her to fall in instalove has just been laid. :/

"I was going to say the beginning is the good part, when it's all sparks and sparkles, before they are inevitably unmasked as assholes." Bahaha, cynicism for the win!

A hot new boy who sits next to her! What a unique plot device!

I just ate ALL of the pomegranate seeds. Good thing I'm not Persephone or there would be only winter.

Omg, bBrimstone's shop is like Howl's! <3

She has the parent-teen battling down.

So far I like how much this isn't like YA.

Ignore that last status update. It was for a different book. Stupid iPod touch.

Two chapters in and I like how funny this is and how up front it is about sexuality. It's also interesting that Karou thought she was in love once before.

These moles talk like the aliens in Galaxy Quest.

That's why Alex won't go anywhere?!?!? Bahahaha.

I like her writing thus far.

On the plus side, the climax of the novel is hilarious.

"It took Pavano a few seconds to recognize the Sutters' twins. He struggled to recall their first names. Old-fashioned names." Really, R.L. Stein, Daniel and Samuel are old-fashioned?

Words I never want to read again: bruvver, boyo.

Did Katerina lose the Necromancer's Companion book? Is that why she's not learning more than the one spell she knows?

So...you children were sent into the forest by the guy who was using you and a bunch of other orphans/abandoned children for child labor. You've survived, but now want to go back and take Mr. Child Labor Dude up on his deal. REALLY? Of course, Mr. CLD wouldn't lie about helping you out if you return...

Remember that time where I read only four star reads for like two weeks? That was the best.

ALMOST DONE.

I'm enjoying this, but I'm still sad that she didn't get to go to medical school.

"I know how great a burden it can be too beautiful." Editing fail.

Creepy first chapter... I like!

She has now compared BOTH guys to angels, a dark angel and a rebel guardian angel. Ughhhhh.

Spoiler warning:

So she's feeling guilty because she might have hurt Morpheus' feelings, even though he's an ass and she doesn't owe him anything, but NOT bothered that the guy she made out with has a freaking girlfriend. Even though you hate her, he's a cheater. They both suck. Get a hold of your hormones and go find a better guy to hook up with.

"Fingers locked around Jeb's neck, I tug his short ponytail."

Again, sounds like you're choking him. Fingers locked behind his neck would work, but AROUND?

"I wrap my hands around his neck and tuck my face against his chest."

Wrapping your hands around someone's neck = choking them. Wrapping your arms around their neck = a hug, which I think is what we were going for here.
