Lost Boys and Love Letters

review 1: Now that I've finished with Book 3 of the "Lost Boys and Love Letters" series, I can say without a doubt that none of these books had anything to do with lost boys nor love letters. I'm not sure what happened with this book, but it managed to have an even less cohesive plot than the previous two books. The "suspense/mystery" component promised in the book blurb is ridiculously lacking and totally unbelievable. There is some vague storyline about finding a body in the woods and a little girl gone missing, but these plot lines are not integral to the story at all, nor are they even resolved adequately or believably. Rather, it all just feels like some ploy to make the book blurb sound more exciting. Really, I think it's about the worst attempt at crime drama/suspense th... moreat I have ever seen. As far as the romance goes, it's a little too far on the side of sickly sweet for me. Any more "Angel" or "Sugar" endearments might make me swear off romance forever. Ugh. Furthermore, the book doesn't even resolve itself in the typical HEA fashion, instead choosing to leave the reader hanging. Not cool.I admit, I read the first two books, and I even thought they were, well, not great, but at least kinda ok. But this one was a huge disappointment.
review 2: ::Deep Announcer Voice::This season on Queer as Folk: Rural Alberta... Will the small town doctor solve the pointless mystery?Will an old friendship survive a "look but don't touch" threesome?Will Brian Kinn - er, Patrick Hawkins ever find love?::End Announcer Voice::Okay, so Patrick isn't a complete Brian Kinney clone - he does make himself much more vulnerable than Brian ever did, but mostly... yeah, Patrick is Brian. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.I actually really enjoyed this book, I think mostly because it wasn't focused entirely on the two heroes. We got to spend a lot of time with Jack and Julian from True North and it gave us just enough break from the main romance not to get burned out on it.There was a really stupid mystery in the middle that only sort of got solved and served no purpose to the storyline, and the end left things a little less resolved than I prefer, but overall a winner.Vaguely related tidbit 1: Male lead Brad Wilde shares my last name and lives in Alberta, Canada, where my dad and his whole family are from. Am I related to this fictional character??? (If yes, a note to Bethany and Ashlyn, I think all the Wildes in Alberta are Mormons. I could be wrong though, I never lived there, just visited.)Vaguely related tidbit 2: Has anyone heard the band The Rural Alberta Advantage? They're flippin awesome! Check 'em out! less
