4.5 stars!

I am really surprised by how much I loved this one. I was even prepared to round up to 5 stars, but then I saw that my friends who have read it loved the subsequent books even more, so I decided to leave room for improvement! I read and loved a book by Cynthia Hand a couple of weeks ago, and had many friends tell me that I had to try this series, and I'm so glad I did. I desperately needed a genre switch, and this turned out to be such a fun read.



"What do you see in a guy like Christian Prescott.?" He asked me that night when he dropped me off from Prom. And what he was really saying then, what would have come through loud and clear if I hadn't been so blind was why don't you see me?"

Oh, the angst of a teen love triangle! I really click with this author, I feel like she is one of those gifted writers who can really engage you in her characters, and I loved the Wyoming backdrop. Can't wait to find out what happens next.

Thanks for reading the series with me Fran! :)

Cynthia Hand
“I think he seriously believes that deflowering an angel could mean an eternity in fiery hell.”
Cynthia Hand, Unearthly

Cynthia Hand
“And then I can feel what he feels. He’s waited such a long time for this moment. He loves how I feel in his arms. He loves the smell of my hair. He loves the way I looked at him just now, flushed and wanting more from him. He loves the color of my lips and now the taste of my mouth is making his knees feel weak and he doesn’t want to seem weak in front of me.”
Cynthia Hand, Unearthly

Fran Ooh let me know if you end up reading this. I've always been curious about this but not enough to actually pick it up.

-ya Yay! So glad you liked it, Jeanne:) I am thinking to click some spoilers in the following installments to see which team I should root for before digging into the second book:/

umm...I wonder if you will like UF genre? Like Ilona Andrew books;)

Thanks, Ya! You haven't read the rest yet? Maybe you'd want to read them with us. I'm going to peer pressure Fran until she agrees to read the rest with me. Lol. We were swooning like teenagers over that cute cowboy, Tucker. I tried not to read reviews, just glanced through the star ratings. I might like that, I'll check it out. Do you have a favorite by her? I've banned myself from romance until that L.H. Cosway book comes out, I need a re-set! :)


message 19: by -ya (new) - rated it 4 stars

-ya No. I haven't. The reason is I am a chicken with love triangle plot! lol
I am with team Tucker so I have to make sure she will get a HEA with him otherwise I would be *devastated*.

Yes! I am waiting for the King book as well. Fingers crossed it will be a good br read:)


Jln Yes! It would be a let down if she didn't end up with Tucker, they are so cute. I guess the next one is pretty emotional too. Well, I have to find out what happens. :)

I hope the King book will be good, it's hard to top Jay though! Luckily, my last couple of romances were so crappy, my bar is set kind of low. haha.


[~Ami~]♥Sexy Dexy♥ Glad you found a good one Jeanne!! Awesome review :))


Jln Thanks Ami! I actually think you might like this! The hero we like is a cute, cheeky cowboy. I think he's right up your alley. :))


[~Ami~]♥Sexy Dexy♥ Ooh it sound like our type but does she end up with him though??


Jln We don't know yet. It's intense, Ami!!


message 25: by Fran (new) - rated it 4 stars

Fran I KNOW WHO SHE ENDS UP WITH! Lol. I will finish the series with you, Jeanne. I think I'll need the emotional support, judging by the reviews. Bwahahaha I am such a spoilsport.


Jln Fran!!!! What am I going to do with you! Don't tell me. Lol. OK, Ami...I guess Fran knows because she's the worst about checking spoilers!! :)
