It snuck up on me, I turned around and there was a great freakin’ YA novel.
I am not afraid to admit that I am a bit bored with the current genre excitement in YA. I needed something to shake me up and Emily Evans did an awesome job with The Boarding School Experiment. I have said it before and will say it again, the best books are the ones where two rivals or mean haters fall for one another.
I’m not holding back on this mess. This is why people need editors. This is why Self Publishers get a bad wrap.
Ghosts of San Diego reads like someone has put a pedantic visitor’s tour monologue and a historical plaque together with a lack of effort. There is almost no research done to substantiate credible accounts of ghostly encounters. The locations of the sites are poorly described and due to the format of the chapters/sites the addresses are at the end of the information which gives the reader no frame of reference for introduction. A map and key would only help aid those unfamiliar with San Diego put the historical region together with the ghostly lore.
In the summer of 2008, San Diego Comic-con promotional posters for the upcoming Twilight movie. The posters had the film release with the expected date of 12.12.2008; these are not theatrical release which show the date of 11.21.2008. These are the original release posters known as the “Live Forever Advance Posters”.
ANGST! Oh, the angst, the beautiful turmoil of the angry.
I’ve been asking myself, “What took you so long to read this book?”
I misunderstood the construction of the series when I read Very Wicked Beginnings. I thought since next novel wasn’t about Cuba or Dovey I’d put off reading it. I hadn’t realized that Very Wicked Things was about those two, and that really it would have been sensible to read the book blurbs before jumping in.
Library Lesson: Don’t believe the book with the word ‘beginnings’ is always the start.
I call this book Kaidan is Sexy because Sweet Temptation does it no justice.
It is always interesting to see the other side of stories.
In the vein of Jamie McGuire’s Walking Disaster, or Christine Zoldenz’s Scars and Songs, Wendy Higgins has given us the guy perspective of her series. Sometimes, like in the instance of Travis Maddox, it is very hard to reconcile the guy the heroine saw and fell in love with and the dude in his own book. Travis is not charming in Walking Disaster, he’s rather skeevy. I couldn’t like him as he was in his own tale; although it was a perfect example of TWO accounts being told of one story. But Kaidan Rowe is relatable and easy to love in Sweet Temptation as he was to Anna. His weaknesses and darkness becomes apparent while keeping him palatable, and desirable even. I am still in love with this lust puppy after seeing the world through his eyes.

That is better loot than I will be getting for my birthday tomorrow. Please read this interview slowly because it took me almost a month to put it together.
