Jane knows coffee, she lives it, breaths it, sells it and as of late she seems to be able to judge people by the type of coffee they drink. Jane is not your average seventeen-year-old. With the final leg of high school being a total drag, and the allure of extra money always around, she applies for a promotion at work, and is stoked when she gets it.
Soon she finds herself matching customers up with one another, based on their choice of drinks. From young teenage love, to senior citizens finding a new partner, Jane seems to be hitting the nail on the head every time. So why is she suddenly second guessing her pairing of her best friend Em, with her college friend, Cam?
When picking up this book, I assumed it would be a cute fun read, and that is exactly what I got. The character of Jane is fun, bubbly and full of life. I really enjoyed how unique of a character she was. She skipped school, but only because she worked, and she knew that she had to work to get herself to college within a year. She was sassy without being a bitchy character and she seemed to really value her family and friends.
The secondary characters complimented Jane quite well. Em was the perfect best friend, who was always there for her, making sure she stayed out of trouble, and forgiving her whenever Jane screwed up. The two, all but read each others minds, and held an incredible bond.
Cam was a great male lead for Jane, with his very laid back and mysterious attitude. He seems to be the calm to Jane’s bubbly, energetic self. He keeps her guessing which I thought was pretty great because work and school seem to come easy to her, but this was a puzzle she had to fight to crack open.
I enjoyed this book although I was a little disappointed by the speed of the story. So much seemed to happen in such a short amount of time, I felt at times the story was a little rushed, or rather, I wish I had more details to read. I would of really loved to get to know some of the secondary characters more or gotten a better feel for Jane herself.
I recommend this book if you are looking for a cute, quick read that will have you smiling throughout the entire book.

Starting off, a few months after Lord of Misrule, it is clear to see that there has been a lot of changes to the town of Morganville. Mr. Bishop has really set his claws into the town and things are not looking pretty.
On starting this book I was so worried for Claire and her friends. They all seemed separated and detached from one another, not only physically but also emotionally. The tension throughout the book was kept tight and I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat as I read.
Michael surprised me a lot during the book. He has always been the strong, steady, silent type. always dependable and solid as a rock. It was clear throughout this book, that sometimes he despised just how calm and rational he was. I got the impression that Micheal sometimes wishes he was more like Shane, who acted out his emotions, rather then rationally thought things through.
Myrnin was a character who constantly surprises and fascinates me. He is so unpredictable and yet, to me, that makes him all the more fun to read about. Throughout the series he has slowly become one of my favourite characters, reminding me of an old eccentric uncle. You never know, just quite what he is thinking and yet, dangerous or not, you just have to find out.
The relationship between Clare and Shane, like always, had me swooning. This is one character pairing I am so happy about (although I still wouldn’t mind Shane for myself). I have been enjoying the pace in which their relationship has grown. I find it hasn’t been rushed or dragged out in a long and angst ridden period of time.
Rachel Caine’s ability to write a paranormal series, that is filled with many realistic human qualities, is simply incredible. I love how easy it is to relate to the characters and their emotional issues. From Claire’s hears and insecurities, to Eve’s sassy-ness, I really feel connected to the characters within this book.
Finally I was so excited to read a cute short story at the end of my edition of this book. It was a cute little novella based around Shane. It was great to see things from his point of view, even if it was just for a cute short story. If you haven’t see it, you should defiantly try and get your hands on it.
5 out of 5 for Carpe Corpus. The 6th book in the Morganville series, but without a doubt, just as great as book 1!

Comments: Hidden secrets, town scandals and a tale of two brother who are completely opposite, His Secondhand Wife seems to have it all. Its eye catching title and the fact that it is book two in a series I have just began, compelled me to pick it up and quickly devour it.
