I'm glad that you managed to enjoy this one overall, Rachel, even with that slow start. I can only imagine how confusing everything would be, being dumped into such an unfamiliar setting. I'm glad you were able to catch on quickly though. =) Mae seems like a character I would love, although I'm not too sure about Justin. Womanizing guys always irritate me so much. (And ahem, that frying pan reference did not go unnoticed by me. ;)) <br /><br />You're so lucky to be able to go to a Richelle Mead signing! I hope you have fun, and I can't wait to read all about it.<br /><br />Lovely review as always, Rachel. <3Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-86982583303858994362013-06-06T19:51:09.411+01:002013-06-06T19:51:09.411+01:00I think I would really like Mae and Justin as well...I think I would really like Mae and Justin as well.brandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-72398747573279642992013-06-06T17:31:04.703+01:002013-06-06T17:31:04.703+01:00I LOVE me some Richelle Mead so I'm going to h...I LOVE me some Richelle Mead so I'm going to have to get a copy of this!

Previous attempts to get into adult books by YA authors I love haven't gone so well. Nonetheless, I will be trying this one out. I'm glad you liked it and I hope the next books are even better, since they most likely won't start out as slow.<br /><br />-Taylor @ <a href="http://readingisthething.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Reading is the Thing</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360636759766927273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-27145508583097137782013-06-05T21:41:08.423+01:002013-06-05T21:41:08.423+01:00My review goes up tomorrow and I totally struggled...My review goes up tomorrow and I totally struggled with the start of this one but it gets really good at the end and the storyline is on its way to something totally unique!

I am so jealous of you meeting Richelle who is my favorite author among J.K. Rowling, Colleen Hoover and a few more and I'd probably faint infront of her. Anyhow, I hope you had a great time with her today. I am dying from jealousy haha. But it's a good one -- I really hope you had fun and I can't wait to see what happens next either ;) thanks for sharing love! PS. I think *hope* Richelle will get these two together. She loves a HEA and I'm pretty certain we'll have to suffer a lot, but will get our HEA for these two lovebirds :)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-46882290234400217052013-06-05T20:11:06.923+01:002013-06-05T20:11:06.923+01:00Ohh, 4 stars! *averts eyes* I haven't had a ch...Ohh, 4 stars! *averts eyes* I haven't had a chance to read this yet, but you can bet I'll be swinging by to see what you thought when I'm done. <br /><br />*peeks*<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/06/jenniferangus.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-259736037211824902013-06-05T19:40:08.190+01:002013-06-05T19:40:08.190+01:00Glad to see that you liked it!
