review 1: I had a couple of issues with these stories:-The ages of the heroines vs. their actions don't match up. I kept thinking the girls were 17 or 19, which would have made what they were doing (not the paranormal stuff, but the "regular" stuff like traipsing about LA) more believable. -Cut and paste was used often to describe characters or details from previous stories. I'm not sure if it would have been as noticeable if I read each book individually, but it was very noticeable in the bind-up.-The glorification of young women sexing it up with their friends to turn guys on. If (young) women want to rub up against each other because *they* find it enjoyable, that is one thing. The author depicts the main female characters as using this ploy solely for the purpose of attracting g... moreuys. In general, I feel like the characters are over sexualized (yet there is no more than kissing) and with no thought process other than it makes them feel special because guys dig it. Maybe this is what 15 year old girls think and/or how they act, but it doesn't seem right in the context of the novel.Sadly, this is one of those story lines where I'm interested enough in the concept to want to see how it plays out but not terribly interested in the characters or the actual novels. I think a reviewer who was very interested in analyzing the text would have a lot more to say about how wrong some of the themes are for this age group, etc. I just don't feel like bothering. Meh all around.
review 2: I had first picked up this series while in highschool and owned the first two books and decided to download this version with the first THREE books for Kindle. Overall it is okay. I find the whole series to be a little cheesy and stereotypical at times but hey, what am I honestly expecting? The first book in this series I think is the best, I struggled to get through Jimena's story. I would definitely read the next in the series though :) less
