Can't wait for your thoughts on it:)<br /><br />Jen - I've been reading a lot of romance-dominated stories lately as well, and as much of a fan of romance as I am, this was a nice break with just enough romance to satisfy without it being all consuming.<br /><br />Megan - I hadn't heard of it until I saw Melissa's review, but I'm so glad she and the publisher brought it to my attention:)<br /><br />Melissa - You just kind of wonder why she's being difficult with her gift in the beginning, but then quickly understand what the consequences of the gift are and you can't not root for her!<br /><br />Alyssa - I did, I ended up really enjoying this one:)<br /><br />Jenny - It's definitely one that's under the radar! I'm looking forward to more of Ada in the next book:)<br /><br />Ashley - It was only in the beginning, then it she really grew on me and I adored her:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-14880782646870603952011-06-30T20:05:26.204-04:002011-06-30T20:05:26.204-04:004 even though you had a hard time connecting??

Plus, I've, as of late, been pondering the difference between books I love and books I only like. A lot of the time (unless it's a romance I'm purposefully reading), I feel like the story gets lost in the romance of the characters. I don't know, it kind of pushes everything away for me. I don't know if that made any sense or if I'm just rambling *or both*. It does sound like a good one. Great review Jenny!<br /><br />Jen<br /><a href="http://www.intheclosetbibliophile.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">In the Closet With a Bibliophile</a>Jen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-16370321811597767902011-06-30T12:31:58.630-04:002011-06-30T12:31:58.630-04:00I have this one sitting on my shelf waiting to be ...I have this one sitting on my shelf waiting to be read, so I am very excited to hear that you liked it!

The other illustrations are in black and white in the book and they're gorgeous. I think the weird blue glow and everything cheapens the cover a bit. I'm a design snot though:)<br /><br />Christina - So glad I could bring this one to your attention. I would have overlooked it as well if not for Melissa.

I thought it would be too young for me because the type is really large and there are illustrations running all through it, but I was very pleasantly surprised:)<br /><br />Danny - I was not looking forward to it to be honest, it was one I had to force myself to read and then I got sucked right in and loved it:) And it's not that the romance isn't strong - it's a very sweet relationship, it's just not the entire premise of the story which was nice I thought:) I'm like to swoon too, and this was satisfying I thought in that department:)<br /><br />Denise - You're welcome!<br /><br />Misha - It's definitely full of action, you hit the ground running and don't stop.
