Lacey Hannigan Trilogy

review 1: Lacey (not my favorite name)is so isolated and pitiful in the begining, which I appreciated since it felt realistic for a child whose ordinary fits of crying were punctuated with extraordinary bouts of telekinesis. They don't prepare parents for that shit in "What to Expect when Expecting". The character wasn't as completely endearing or fully developed to be a Jane Eyre archetype, but still a bit refreshing for this genre. She later states "Everyone has a sob story to tell but you can't live int he past, you have to move on." Pretty good advice from a 17 year old trouble-magnet who falls in love with both men in a set of identical twins. I like when the author described werewolves as "more like a gang of preppy college boys or male models", hilarious! I LOVE that the girl... more made the first move on the guy, this does not happen that often in these magical teenager novels.
review 2: Lacey trusts near every stranger she comes across in a way that is never adorable nor charming and always exasperating and pretty damn idiotic. The twin brothers who hate each other and both "fall in love" (in a matter of days) for Lacey is on par with soap level drama. I can't say Growl is a novel I greatly enjoyed but the powerful yet naive main character and the 'villain' who is hinted to redeem himself reminds me (a little) of the Shatter Me series plot, a series where I only liked the first novel but fell head over heels in love with the last so perhaps there is hope for this story. less
