I won't go into the plot, because it's already described in the Amazon review, but I will tell you what I thought of this book during and after I read it. Well, I don't usually read fantasy, but this was really, really good, and I don't regret reading it. When I saw the book, I made an exception because I skimmed through it beforehand, and it looked easy to read. And it was!

Okay, there IS a cliffhanger ending... but that's because Kill… Read more

This book is about a girl named Samantha (Sam) Madison. Like most other heroines in Meg Cabot's books, Sam has something unusual and bizarre happen to her, something which happens to be a blessing in disguise. Sam saves the president of the United States from assassination by jumping on the back of the attacker. She ends up breaking her arm, but saving the life of the leader of the free world. I liked Sam's character. Sam's something of an urban rebel slash sensitive artist slash middle-child reject (her words, not mine). She dresses all in black, as she is in mourning for her generation. But I've got to say, Sam was a pretty believably character. I found her quirks really… Read more
