However, as Harper finds out why and they’re forced to work together she feels an unexplainable pull to him. *gasp* Hell must be freezing over!" -- Can I just say that I LOVE your summary? So funny and a great capture of the book & what I imagine the voice to be like too.<br /><br />"I loved that she turned into a badass with ninja fighting skills, and Harper was quite excited about it too" -- we need more vain, sweet girls turned badasses. Reminds me of the discussion on femininity and badassery in YA. Also major huzzah to love/hate relationships that turn out well :D.<br /><br />Okies, so even if it's not four stars and above, sounds like you still really enjoyed it too :). Yay!! Can't wait to read it & I hope you enjoy the next book too.Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583184608177224763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-27993346649680407822015-01-13T16:41:50.039+00:002015-01-13T16:41:50.039+00:00Haven't read this yet, and not sure I want to,...Haven't read this yet, and not sure I want to, really. Many of the reviews I've read were pretty lukewarm about it, and the superficiality of the main character worries me. I may try it out one day, if I want a cute read with fluffy witches (OR paladins :P)<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-10050659198944596582015-01-10T18:29:27.497+00:002015-01-10T18:29:27.497+00:00Yay :D Awesome review Rachel. <3 I'm so gla...Yay :D Awesome review Rachel. <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed this book; despite some issues :) I do own it.

I need to really be in the mood for such a light-hearted, silly read with (initially) superficial characters.
