review 1: Probably Round up to 3.5 stars. I read Volumes 1-4. They are short books and really are best read together, I think. I have problems with girls who are constantly being told they are special and beautiful and NEVER BELIEVE IT. But then again, it seems like aside from the men who know her "secret" no one else seems to think she's special or attractive. Once my annoying with that was over, I gotta say I enjoyed the plot. Some of the dialogue seemed not very natural and sometimes she seems like she was 17 instead of 15 (which does make a difference). But still, I kept reading and was very surprised I was kept interested.
review 2: I swear, these installments are more like extended chapters, not even short stories (seriously, what the hell is a "novelette"? Is that... more even a word?). Each one furthers the story a bit, but doesn't have a clear resolution of anything. I can see why the author decided to package it all together as a single ebook - there isn't much temptation to continue the story otherwise.The awkward writing remains, complete with comma and apostrophe abuse. This is a very painful read if you are a stickler for proper grammar and spelling. She even hits one of my pet peeves..."all right" are TWO SEPARATE WORDS. "Alright" is NOT correct, but you see it everywhere. Ugh.Back to the point, this installment was better than the first. The awkward introduction is out of the way and Workman thankfully doesn't waste time recapping. I like her version of vampire society as a sort of "hive", even if it was explained in stilted infodump style via Professor Pops. We also have the obligatory section of people telling Snow how beautiful she is, while she blushes and shuffles and says it ain't so. Mysterious New Guy is part of a new plot twist that surprises no one. But I still kept reading, and this felt much more like a coherant story than that first mess.There is a lot of potential in this "novelette"...it is just in serious need of a good polishing. less
