4.0 out of 5 stars A God Picking his nose...funny Read, May 31 2004
I just finished this book and loved it. It is definitely staying on my self. LOL I didn't cry on it, but my eyes did well up. I DEFINITELY laughed...a lot. Picture a greek god digging up his nose and tell me that is not too funny. You will have to read the book to see why he does that. LOL I really felt for Alexandra though, and the authors writing made you have no choice but to. She has had it rough and Darius doesn't make it any easier. I think the time line could have been streached out a little. I think Alexandra says all this book takes place in a matter of 6 dyas. Trust me, for all that goes on, you would think it would be more then that. Some of the reviews on this was bad, but I thought it was a cute and fun and would definitely recomend it to others...as long as you are not looking for something on actual mythology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Paced, April 21 2004
This one was not as graphic as The Devil's Kiss was, however I still found it very good. William Johnstone has this thing with names that can be very confusing, but you get used to it. He likes to use the same names over and over again not to mention different names for the same person. A little frustrating. I actually liked the story line on this one a lot better. I think it had a little more meat to it. These books are more incidents, as my professor would say, then actual stories...at least to me they are. Everything happens in a matter of days with a set # of people in their day to day life...and a hell of a life they have...almost literally. Young Sam and Nydia's fated love I was not to fond of, but the twist and turn in the battle of good and evil are just as good in this one, if not better, as the first. All rules of the game are thrown out the window and that is always fun...to the reader anyway. This one I WILL recommend...very good. However you DO need to read the first one to read this one and that one I DON'T recommend...you will have to see my review on it to see why. Happy reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart!, April 21 2004
Wow! I am not a Christian but this was one hell of a book, no pun intended, concerning good and bad...God and the Devil and a persons will to do what they think is right. This book is blunt but depending on who is reading it can be looked at in many ways, I say this as a non-Christian person...and before you wonder, I am NOT a Satanist either. William Johnstone is VERY blunt in his writing, not something I am very fond of. He really leaves no room for YOUR imagination because he spells everything out for you plain as day. You can be sure to see EVERY detail in this book, and considering some of the events, I'm not sure if that is good or bad. Because of the graphic nature of this book I was unsure if I wanted to pick up the next one...of course I did. I'm not going to recommend this book...nor am I going to tell you NOT to read it. That will be a decision you have to make on your own based on reviews. I will warn you though, I can't stress the graphicness of this book enough, and it may just be the content that makes me say this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can I Fall Down A Highland Ravine?, Mar 2 2004
Karen Marie Moning is a write to make any woman swoon. He historical time traveling tales are breath taking...just like her men. I will say this, as a simple piece of advice, DON'T read all of her books back to back. It is a series, but it isn't. You DO NOT have to read them in any kind of order. However, if you read them back to back, the stories are VERY similar with slightly different twist and they may seem a bit redundant.

I found Gwen, the main female, a little weak and ditsy in the beginning, but grew to like her towards the end. She is a brainy little thing who decides to take a trip to Scotland to "spice" up her life in search of a "cherry picker." Kinda sad, I know. When she stumbles, or rather fall, upon a sleeping Drustan from century's prior to hers. Not quite Alice in Wonderland. Without giving too much away and saying a whole lot at the same time, Gwen is FORCED to save Drustan's lineage, hence the time travel...with "help" of her own. Unfortunately, in Drustan's century, he doesn't know her and she has to make him remember. Sounds a little confusing, but THAT is what makes it a good story.

DEFINITELY READ THE OTHERS!!!

Grimm and Jillian are quite the pair. Grimm is a Berserker with a past that haunts him dearly. Jillian is as bull headed as him but she is the one who found Grimm as a child and helped give him a "normal" life. Where their feelings for each other are concerned, both are bull-headed. Hard to get, on both sides, is putting it mildly. Pretty much a Beauty and the Beast plot. I think that gives enough away right there. Story wise, this was my favorite. Made me want to really read more on Berserker's...and fine ice blue eyes. Man wise...NOT EVEN CLOSE! Excellent story. Strong characters. And leaves you wanting to know more.

DEFINITELY READ THE OTHERS!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Worth It!, Jan 28 2004
This review is from: Faking It (Audio Cassette)
I NEVER would have picked up this book, not even to read the back. I generally read fantasy. I was shopping one day though and this book was packaged with Nora Roberts Three Fates, another good read, and that one DID interest me though it too was not what I thought. This book is funny and keeps you on your feet. I Love Louise...you'll have to read the book to get that one. And the concept behind it was a good one. Not too mushy on the romance which is a plus for me since mush turns my stomach. I may actually have to look into other books by these authors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fate Works In Mysterious Ways, Jan 27 2004
This review is from: Three Fates (Audio Cassette)
A little different then what I usually read, but interesting none the less. I like the way Nora followed the fates from I THINK it was the 1800 to present day. 3 tiny silver statues impact the lives of several people, 8 of which we get to meet. Fate is definitely a factor here in showing that some things are just MENT to be and not always a coinky dink. Not overly mushy on the romance which was good for me and pretty darn cool on the suspense and search for these statues. Funny too, what more could you ask for in a good novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong Plot with Great detail - Slight spoilers, Jan 13 2004
This review is from: The Selkie (Mass Market Paperback)
Jackson's imagination and truth is wonderful enough to make read more from her. I loved Rory, the hero. She kept him consistent and strong. Hexy, the heroin, I liked in the beginning but as the book progressed, she changed. She started out witty with substance. As the book progressed she became a wet tissue for lack of a better term. She was more like a yo-yo. The villains, the finmen, were great as was the Soul Eater...very interesting. The baby aspect was a little much but she handled it well with explanation. I thought her story line was strong and consistent. I am not one for love @ first sight or mated pairs, but I think the way she did this was very cool, with 7 tears in the sea to call her lover, as in ritual. I really like the way she made this into a normal thing for the People. That courting wasn't necessary, which at time can be over rated...depending on the book of course. The love angle was well done and not too fast paced due to the way things were SUPPOSED to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Young Adult Read to Satisfy the Adult, Dec 21 2003
I think I was told this was a young adult book, but I am in love with the Fae so I had to give it a try. I LOVE it. I am definitely going to look for other work from this author. The book moved at a nice steady pace and for only 200 something pages, you were not left needing more detail. Everything was nicely filled in. Now as an adult, this ended WAY to fast. I would have like to seen more of that happily ever after story with the elf Aelvarim (sp) and the human Piper. Either way, if you are looking for a nice quick read, I would go fir it. Or even if you are looking for your child to read, go for it. Nice story.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, July 6 2003
I am not one for books with multiple stories in them. Just as the stories seem to get good they are over. Maggies is of course the exception. This book has 3 main characters and a story for each of them and each of them is just as good as any book. Wow! Is putting it mildly. I love the way she brings them all together even though you don't have to read all three to understand any of them. All if them are love stories, but far FAR from the mushy kind. Each person has battles to fight before they can even think of being happily ever after. Must read!
