But I like how you contrast it with the fun and funny characters and writing. I might have to give this one a try just for the humor.

I agree that many of the characters were very likable and that's probably what kept me reading until the very end. As you said though, too much teen drama and not enough action! You'll have to tell me if the story gets any better in the sequel :o)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793648441233864051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-60196761754667077892010-12-11T18:22:36.173-07:002010-12-11T18:22:36.173-07:00@Jess: Agreed!

The entire time I was just cheering Jessie on, willing her to figure it out! Come on!<br />I got this from YA Book Reads during their Vampires vs. Werewolves contest. I was Team Werewolf :) I've been seeing it around for awhile now. It's not one of the top most popular paranormal stories out there but it is out there.<br /><br />@Small Review: I am unable to put a book down. I must read it through until the bitter end! Fortunately, the end of this book was where it finally started to get exciting!<br /><br />@Melissa: Yes, it was driving me a bit nuts. But once I start a book, I find that I have to finish it.<br /><br />@Jenny: Yes, I find that it's important for me to at least really like the main character. If she hadn't been likeable, then I wouldn't have enjoyed the book at all.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-90151491596647328592010-12-11T08:39:25.807-07:002010-12-11T08:39:25.807-07:00Fabulous review Aylee!

I haven't read this one, but I can tell that being introduced to a bunch of extraneous characters would be a bit frustrating for me:) At least Jessie seems like a great protagonist, so perhaps each installment in this series will improve!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-70722741906062795442010-12-11T07:16:40.561-07:002010-12-11T07:16:40.561-07:00Aylee!

I could be persuaded to give it a try though because of "the mystery behind Pietr and his family".
