Review: Luce Price is attending a new school in California called Shoreline, a special place for neplimin and humans. But being there means Luce is separated from her one true lover over centuries, Daniel. To make things even more terrible for Luce, Daniels been keeping secrets. Now Luce isn't sure what to  do and who to trust without getting into trouble, which she seems to have an uncanny talent for.

Can I just say that I am so anti-Daniel right now, it's not even funny!? He is such a girl!! He is, he never tells Luce anything and is always keeping secrets which makes her even more mad and rebellious! And she and Daniel were always getting into fights! Always! Ugh! I hate him!

Anyways, I absolutely loved the plot of this book! It was a little slow going at first, possibly because you were getting caught up on what happened in the last book and Luce whining and crying But then things really picked up, I was so interested and intrigued by Luce's past and new school, Shoreline. Her new friends were amazing. I absolutely loved Shelby, she was a kick butt character and she was also a good friend. Miles, her other new friend is my new fictional crush. He is sweet all the time, fun to be around and even Luce has figured this out. I'm sorta Team Miles, if there's any such time.

If it was possible, I started to like Cam, yes I did. He's actually really cool and if there was no one else for Luce then he would be my choice for her. I was so happy when Adrianne and Roland came back!!! Yay! They are two exceptionally good characters that are a ton of fun!

My all time favorite scene in the book was when Miles and Luce play board games. I think you know why. Then another favorite scene was the Thanksgiving scene. Everyone, Angel or Demon, was together for Thanksgiving and it was just really sweet. I almost felt like crying it was so happy. Not what followed but.....

Other than Luce annoying me at first I loved this book and I flew through it!

By the way Luce, pick Miles, not Daniel because Miles saved you!

Does anyone else like Miles and not Daniel??

Review: Cordelia Grey and Letty Larkspur are new to the big city. New York City that is. They have Traveled from Ohio to make money and become big stars. But New York is proving to be more dangerous than they both thought, because this is the 20s where prohibatiob is still in full swing. Letty wants to be an actress but Cordelia is searchig for her famous father. Enter Astrid Donal a flapper who befriends Cordelia and helps her find her way in the ways of the high class. But nothing is as ever good as it seems.
This was an extremely good book! I loved the characters the setting and so much more.

All of the characters were extremely likeable and I connected with all of the charcters. They were well written and extremely well developed. If I had to pick a favorite character I suppose I would pick Cordelia. She was the first one introduced to us and in my mind one if the most adventrous. I loved reading about her. Astrid and letty were just as enjoyable too. Astrid was a real charcters and I loved it when she said "darling" or some other 20's language. It was awesome. Letty was the more timid but she eventually found her voice, well for awhile at least.

When I saw on the front cover that one if the girls would die, I was immeadiatly heartbroken. Thankfully nothing too servere happened, but someone did die.

The guy characters were just as good and just as unique as the leading girls.

There was plenty of romance and plenty of action! The plot was quite good and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. The ending wrapped the book up nicely but still left you dying for a sequel.
The era the book took place in was absouletly entrapping to me. The descriptions of dresses of New York were perfect and quite accurate.

All I have left to say is: Can I go live in the roarin' 20's!!!!?

New!
