I'm starting to really love mysteries too so I'll think I might add this to my to-read pile, especially after your review!<br /><br />I'm intrigued to see how Clare deals with her gift/curse and how it's exploited in the book. And I'm glad you didn't mind the love triangles - I usually love them! I want to meet the two boys now!!! It's annoying when you're torn between both though :)<br /><br />Fab review, Jas <3Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592918949547677731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-19826520876878513932012-08-11T19:20:37.314+01:002012-08-11T19:20:37.314+01:00You had me at mash-up of Charmed and CSI, Jasprit!...You had me at mash-up of Charmed and CSI, Jasprit!

Clare definitely sounds great, I like that she doesn't put up with anyone's rubbish. That alone makes me want to read this. I don't mind love triangles either, and the idea of a mystery definitely appeals, so it seems like I'm destined to read this.

Even though I spent a good portion of the book irritated at Justin for what Clare saw, he started to wear me down by the end:) I loved Perception mas well, can't wait for your thoughts.

Clare sounds like a great MC, I love that she didn't give a crap despite being surrounded by boys! I love heroines like that. I'm a little worried with the love triangle though.

She seems a bit too harsh for me, but maybe I was too quick to judge. This seems like a good story with just right amount of mystery and romance thrown in. I should check it out soon! <3<br /><br />Fabulous review, not that I expected less from you, Jasprit! <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-91680639063775450292012-08-10T13:43:32.748+01:002012-08-10T13:43:32.748+01:00Yay!

I really liked Clarity's character and the love triangle didn't bother me too much in this novel. Plus, I thought the family dynamics were very realistically portrayed as well! Great review, Jasprit! I'm so glad you're on a run of good books - hopefully I'll start one soon! :) <br /><br />~Keertana<br /><a href="http://ivybookbindings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ivy Book Bindings</a>Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-65740556283905777032012-08-10T13:43:18.416+01:002012-08-10T13:43:18.416+01:00I don't like love triangles, more often than n...I don't like love triangles, more often than not. Aside from not seeing what's so good about the girl (in most cases), there are books that's so obvious with the endgame pairing. With those, it loses the appeal of the love triangle. But since you said you were torn, I'm guessing the triangle is well-founded... which is a YAY for me :D<br /><br />Great review, Jasprit. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-4832091852059391142012-08-10T13:06:36.700+01:002012-08-10T13:06:36.700+01:00I've been wanting to read Clarity for a while ...I've been wanting to read Clarity for a while now and I've never actually seen the UK cover before!

I did like the mystery though. I love reading mystery books so it was nice to see the genre entering YA as well. <br />My main problem was the lack of depth of certain characters. Unlike you, I really can't tolerate love triangles, so it annoyed me a little! :(<br />I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the book overall, Jasprit.<br />Lovely review! :)<br /><br />P.S I'm reading Throne of Glass and I'm loving it so far. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-84964098232770142092012-08-10T11:54:57.505+01:002012-08-10T11:54:57.505+01:00Lovely review, Jas!
