when i read the first book I liked it a bit and bought the other two (unfortunately). I didn’t like them. What did I not like?

1) The love between the boys and the girl is too artificial. I didn’t feel or believe it.

2) There isn’t enough description for characters, places etc. so you can’t attach yourself to the story truly. In my opinion a book should make you feel the place and feelings or whatever it tells.

It’s a cold story that has lots of holes in it.

Swapna – I know what you mean! I really want to read the next two books in the series, but guilt has led me to pick up some from my review stack instead.

I can't wait to read this one either! I've been putting it off forever because there's always something else to read, but I really need to get around to it. .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..Bed of Roses – Nora Roberts =-.

Fyrefly – I agree – it was written at a much greater depth than I expected. I think that was one of the reasons that the fluffiness and copycat qualities of Hush Hush bugged me so much.

I'm so glad you liked this one! I was expecting it to be a bit of fluffy fun, but I was really impressed with the charactization, like you said. .-= Fyrefly´s last blog ..October Wrap-Up: Commentors and Search Terms =-.

Stacy – any particular reason you’re avoiding YA? Did you burn out on it, or just don’t like it?

I've been debating about adding this one to my list. I'm trying to stay away from YA, but have heard such great things about this one. .-= stacybuckeye´s last blog ..Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story, by Carolyn Turgeon =-.

Beth – our library doesn’t have them on audio – bummer! I could have gotten to the rest of series more quickly. Ooo, I didn’t check Overdrive…

I did love this on audio -- so well narrated. I haven't gotten to the other ones yet either. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Weekend Cooking: Review: What to Cook . . . by Arthur Schwartz =-.
