Every reader has different tastes so every review will be different and that's good. I read a book once that I didn't really care for.

The writing style, the paranormal elements, the relationship between Mira and Jesse, and the mystery Mira had to solve were all right up my alley. But to each their own! :)<br /><br />Loved the interview with Suze Reese! (Also love me some peanut m&ms... although peanut *butter* m&ms are even higher on my love list.)

I realized when I posted this how weird it would be to have a bad review right before an interview, but when I signed up for this blog tour I had not read the book so I couldn't help it. I am glad that you liked it but please remember that everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, and this is mine. It was unfortunate for me that I had this weird combination of good and bad but I am doing what I can with it and I'm not going to lie and say I loved it. Suze Reeze is super nice as a person-I love her- I just didn't like her book. It's nothing personal, just my opinion.Emily Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057321191480454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452926910707749492.post-44826466849907579472012-04-26T16:03:32.053-04:002012-04-26T16:03:32.053-04:00I have to say, I completely disagree with your rev...I have to say, I completely disagree with your review of the book. I thought it was pretty much the opposite of how you described it. I feel like you may not have caught everything the author explained, like the whole Jesse "stalking" Mira thing. She explains in the book that Mira can sense Jesse's feelings and feels that he is not being creepy, he's just trying to look out for her. I loved the way we find out about who Mira is and where she came from. I feel like the author gave her audience credit instead of laying everything out at our feet. If you didn't like the romance, then I guess to each his own. But I will say that we should all keep in mind who the target audience is for this book. Its a Young Adult fiction, i.e. 12 to 18-year-olds. I felt like the romance was fun, exciting and appropriate for that age group. Now, I have to be honest, I find it in poor form that you would agree to be a part of a blog tour and insist on completely slamming the book, even though you have an author's interview, which you could have easily posted without your review. It's very off putting to read such a harsh review, and then see you praise the author in the next sentence. It makes me loose respect for your opinion when you exhibit such a lack in grace.Sharlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658852220073265309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452926910707749492.post-54305789823888751022012-04-26T14:53:09.065-04:002012-04-26T14:53:09.065-04:00I really liked your interview!

Maybe I'm easily fooled, but I read a lot of books and thought this was a breath of fresh air. <br /><br />I loved the author interview and your blog in general. What a cute site!
