I tend to read both the more "adult" YA and the "younger" and enjoy both if I can go in knowing what it's geared towards. Hmmm - going to keep this one on my wishlist for later. Thanks for the wonderful review Jenny :)Book Swoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065445455788158131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-32242056305894453612014-05-26T17:48:12.247-04:002014-05-26T17:48:12.247-04:00I think I've seen this book around quite a bit...I think I've seen this book around quite a bit, but never really paid much attention to it, but you had me laughing at the theatrical nature of the villains. I do however tend to enjoy books left with cliffhangers, they tend to end up being more memorable books. So I may end up giving this book a go one day!

It felt a little overwrought and overdone - a bit more juvenile than I generally look for. But I did really like Paige, and Dottie was a true highlight for me, too!

I do really like the sound of the romance but I'm not sure if I would like the younger tone of the characters. I have to say that Paige sounds really great though, especially since she doesn't turn badass overnight and her willingness to learn to fight is definitely appealing. I think I'll borrow this from a library.<br />Lovely review, Jenny!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-70832768446585509502014-05-26T09:54:50.212-04:002014-05-26T09:54:50.212-04:00I like that Paige doesn't want to remain defen...I like that Paige doesn't want to remain defenseless and goes out of her way to learn how to take care of herself.

There are enough of them to warrant it, and it would save older readers the hassle of falling into trap's like this book. From the blurb, it could go either way, and if not for your heads-up, I'd probably have gotten this for myself and been frustrated. So THANKS, Jenny ;) Great review!<br /><br />Jessica @ <b><a href="http://rabidreads.ca/2014/05/review-the-good-the-bad-and-the-undead.html" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988042844960743101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-50119532126787084812014-05-26T07:26:00.136-04:002014-05-26T07:26:00.136-04:00As always, fantastic review, Jenny!

If nothing else the humour might be nice, but it does also sound promising in ways. I admit I'm intrigued by the barely-there hints, and those are what I'd hope to see developed later on. It doesn't hurt that Paige is all for learning to defend herself, either.
