This book stomped my heart into itty bitty pieces- God, I've never EVER read something in which someone got so thoroughly destroyed.<br />Eesh.<br />However, it was just the perfect thing to read after a string of blandly irritating YA books. Bet you couldn't find many books like this on the Young Adult Fiction shelf of your local library.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079408017899221220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-17029734603965642362013-08-10T12:26:07.500-04:002013-08-10T12:26:07.500-04:00I've had this one on my TBR list for years too...I've had this one on my TBR list for years too--and I even received an e-book copy of it for Christmas last year with confidence I'd read it in 2012. I suppose there's still time! I may start this series next, as I've just finished the last Alafair Burke and can now devote myself to a new mystery author's backlist.<br /><br />Marlene Detierro (<a href="http://www.eurekajoes.com" rel="nofollow">Pay Dirt</a>)Marlene Detierrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035816972520443608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-19678737378346829552012-10-24T14:51:23.366-04:002012-10-24T14:51:23.366-04:00Bravo, Keertana!

I've been completely ignoring this one despite all of the 4 and 5 star reviews from friends on Goodreads, largely because the cover just seemed so...well I feel like if I can make a cover look like that using Microsoft word, they really haven't put any effort in, and so I find it hard to believe the book has effort put into it as well.<br /><br />You've completely convinced me that I'm wrong though! This sounds fascinating, and like something I would love. I love when the payoff comes toward the end (as long as it's not too painful to get to), I love good characters in plot driven novels, and I love twisty and unpredictable mind bending. I've always really enjoyed watching thrillers as movies, but for some reason have never read many. Clearly this is one I need to try!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-87593225632362773862012-10-21T22:04:07.745-04:002012-10-21T22:04:07.745-04:00Thanks Rachel!

I know what you mean - I'm so heartbroken by the romance and it was such a heavy read, which is why it left me depressed, but I loved it for the plot twists and the mystery. I don't know if you'll enjoy this one since the romance is minimal and PAINFUL, but I hope you give it a try someday! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213038990130440437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-71640773324179565192012-10-21T22:03:17.853-04:002012-10-21T22:03:17.853-04:00Thanks Heidi!

It might be the only thing that can possibly get me out of my reading slump. I remember back when Catie was reading this, I was so surprised by her high ratings and I decided to read it as soon as I can, but something always gets in my way. <br /><br />Oh, and I am thrilled to see that you're reading Chasing Magic. It's my favorite of the series and I'll tell you the same thing I told Catie when she was reading it: keep those smelling salts near - Terrible WILL make you swoon in this one.

I have seen this one in the bookstore so many times and have been tempted to pick it up because I really love the cover. But there was something about the blurb that didn't do it for me. But based on your review, I think I want to take the leap and try it. Though I do have to be in a certain kind of mood to read a book like this.
