Someone Wicked This Way Comes

review 1: I always really appreciate an original idea when it comes to paranormal YA fiction. Wicked Hunger gives us something new, but unfortunately doesn’t really explain it too well, and left me with a big question mark. You can tell by the title that this is the first in a series, but I kind of feel a bit cheated that I didn’t get all the information I needed and a complete story in this first book. That said, I did enjoy reading it, it was much darker than the usual teen reads.My personal reading taste is first person, so I enjoyed reading from the main character’s viewpoints, however I did find Zander a less than convincing teen boy. I found this same thing in Beautiful Creatures, and in my review there, posed the question how accurate can a female author be when gettin... moreg into the mind of a teenage boy?From a writer’s perspective, there were pacing problems and I felt teased as a reader with the ‘Hunger’ that kept materialising at the start of the book, without it being fully explained as to what the brother and sister were and what was really happening. I understand the need for intrigue in books and for authors’ to keep secrets close to their chests, but there should be a drip feed of information, and I really felt that there wasn’t much moisture at all until you really got into the book. This would mean losing less patient readers – which would be a shame.Also, a note on the title. If you plug it into Amazon you’ll notice several books come up with the same/similar title – some of which are adult orientated. Although almost impossible to give a book a completely unique title, this perhaps should have been checked before hand.The front cover is nice and has Vanessa on there, but as Zander shares the narrative, he really should be on there too. Gorgeous teen boys are like six pack magnets to the potential teen girl reader browsing the virtual book shelves.Overall, I’d give Wicked Hunger 3 out of 5 stars – an interesting concept and a promising start to a new teen series.
review 2: Couldn't have asked for a better book for my first ebook read!! Exciting from page one! The more you read the more you want to read. This book has it all. I don't want to go into too much of an actual summary of the book because I don't want to give anything away. The author did an excellent job with the characters, the reader is left thinking about them even when your not reading the book. Great job all the way around!! less
