review 1: 3.5This book was pretty interesting. I really liked the premise, but the love triangle was a bit much sometimes.When Tabitha finds out about her true identity, she's understandably skeptical, but she takes it in stride soon enough. The magic aspect was really interesting, and I just wish we could've seen more of her magic education. However, that side of things is kept pretty hush hush for a good chunk of the story since it's tied up with her past.Also, the love triangle was... Wow. Between the two, I liked Alex even though his and Tab's initial meeting was scandalous, to say the least. While I felt for Robbin too, the things that come to light just lost him major points and I couldn't quite bring myself to like him as a love interest.As for Tabitha herself, she's a bit fr... moreustrating at times, but overall I like her. She makes some bad decisions, yes, but she knows it, and berates herself. Even as she knows she should resist certain temptations, she finds herself unable to, but it's difficult for me to fault her for it. After all, the magic has something to do with. But you know, those lapses are much like ordinary hormones or alcohol influences, so whatever.Overall, a fun read. I don't feel any need to read the next one, but I might in the future.
review 2: It almost made a 3, but the copy-editing errors were distracting, almost as much as the author's use of "They" and "We". Other things were just slightly off, like the funeral scene, when no-one (not even her friends) said anything, and the sudden relatively graphic sex scenes. At times I wondered whether this was really Elf soft porn, with the murders and intrigue a slightly more unusual device to tie the love triangle together. less

3.5 so far - the plot is really good but will have to see how the story continues to fully judge it.
