The action was pretty good though, which I'm not usually into, but my students two thumbs up for it really pushed me into reading it.<br /><br />Irisonbooks--I'd be interested to see what you think! As I mentioned, I think I liked it because my students were so enthused about it.<br /><br />Kiirstin--Those covers really can be Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615570638950821876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135958.post-77848276918940212382011-01-18T06:34:57.822-07:002011-01-18T06:34:57.822-07:00Wow, interesting.

Just goes to show how important the cover can be -- and how dangerous (in terms of turning off an entire segment of readers!) it can be to pigeon-hole a book with the wrong cover.<br /><br />I've always kind of liked the covers, but they're definitely a riff on the Twilight-style. Which while it might win many fans, I expect it turns off just as many.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135958.post-60003980256290482762011-01-17T11:46:11.838-07:002011-01-17T11:46:11.838-07:00I think by now it must be hard for a good paranorm...I think by now it must be hard for a good paranormal YA book to break through the many many titles that are already on the shelves and have given people a certain image of what to expect. I admit I felt a little like heidenkind, but now I think I'd like to try this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135958.post-78043723535473699152011-01-17T10:42:50.190-07:002011-01-17T10:42:50.190-07:00I've seen this book around, but maybe I was ch...I've seen this book around, but maybe I was channeling my inner teenage boy because the cover really turned me off, too. It's beautiful, but do I need another Twilight rip-off? No.<br /><br />However, not that I've read your review, I will think about maybe giving it a try. :)Heidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.com
