Dare I say I enjoyed Volume 2 even more than the first? I think so. Kamala settles into her role as a super hero, with various trials along the way.

Somtimes you just need a sexy book ;)

Once I found out what the title of this book meant, I sort of gagged a little. Lots and lots of drama for the two main protaganists but not as compelling as the first novel in the series. I just don't have much interest in silly jealousy drama or characters that are merely there to have bad things happen to them.

Light, frothy romance about a soon to be divorced 40ish mom, and her search for herself and meaning in NYC. Almost a waste of my time, but at least I got some good treadmill time in with this one.

"I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk." --back cover excerpt.

Nastya has a dark secret past she never wants to reveal. Anyone Josh has ever loved (mother, sister, father, grandmother, grandfather) is dead. Their isolation brings them together, but will Nastya's refusal to let Josh in on her secrets kill any chance of healing?

Beautiful, haunting, and will stay with me for a long time. Best read so far of 2013.

Elise and Ben's nine day marriage ends after he is killed when going out to get her fruity pebbles. Only together for six months, how will Elsie ever move on from the love of her life?
Pretty sad staet to a really sweet story. Elsie and Ben's courtship is interspersed wirh her mourning which is a really effective technique. Bittersweet and moving. nice to see how a charachter can really grow from a tragedy, and spoiler alert, with the women of her life. Glad we avoided the find new love cliche.
