My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 unicorns - I loved it!!
Okay I have to start with the author first
because I truly admire her for her creativity and that I fell in love with her
story on the blog “Once Upon a Bookcase” by Jo Stapley which you can read here. I found the blog post on Nov 30, 2012. Most of you may be wondering how I remember
the specific date, and really I can’t, but I have an email I sent to my work
account on that date which reminds me. I’m
a high school math teacher, and I think she is a talented gift to us and a role
model for our children. So I emailed myself to tell our librarian. Do I think she
is perfect? No, but I do feel like she can be an inspiration I can draw on to
show my students that they can accomplish anything through hard work and effort,
which sometimes seems lost to them wherever common sense has gone. If she were here, I’d hug her like one of my
students I was proud of :) Okay, yes I’m
a sap and the secret is out :)
On to the book, I have a particular fondness
for fantasy and especially paranormal if you haven’t guessed by now. I absolutely loved this story and can’t wait
for the next one. I love that Haddie is
a strong kicking butt girl trying to protect her baby brother. (PS The Cover and story makes me think Xena and I heart her warrior spirit) Her tragic back story makes you like her even
more. And there are even a few jerks
that you won’t mind hating. I love
Haddie’s snarky attitude and quick wit, and I did cry at one point but that
happens with me and a good story I’m vested in.
It is hard to tell you everything I loved because I refuse to give the
story away. Everyone is entitled to enjoy the journey without having it
spoiled. She is eloquent and her story
is well written. She writes better than
I do, but writing has always been one of those things I dread because I criticize
my words to death. Anywho, I recommend this to everyone and anyone who loves YA
& Paranormal Genres. I can't wait to read her other two books which I already own :)
