review 1: To put it simply, Sheena is brilliant. The end of this book is incredible. I would read it for the end, if nothing else.The plot is quick moving and exciting. I do wish we would have seen a bit more character development, as I felt the relationship between Joe and Larissa was a bit awkward at times - but I suppose that is how teenage romances are. The humor was fantastic, and even the teenage angst felt fresh and fitting.I loved the outlook on magic: runes and instincts. Sheena does expect her readers to accept some facts without much explanation - like the fact that an instinct who can do runes is bad. Still, the characters are strong, and accepting Sheena's twisted world is a highly rewarding experience when all is said and done.With endings like this (and a great story ... moreto get us there), I can't wait to read the other surprises Sheena has in store for us.
review 2: I liked this book very much. Everytime I read a YA book, I wish that this genre had been around when I was a teenager. I would have devoured these books then. Larissa is telling this story after it has all happened, but for the most part it reads like you are right in the action. The first thing you learn is that Larissa's family was killed in a car accident and that even though she is just a teenager, the Grandmother Witches have decided that she is able to take care of herself. They apply some Runes (Spells) so that know one knows, outside of Larissa, that they are dead. She has to carry the grief alone and somehow manage to go to school, pay the bills, take care of herself, etc. Then she meets Joe.She knows right away Joe is different, and soon she has let him in to her world. These two are perfect for each other, but unfortunately they come from the two sides of the war - sort of like Romeo and Juliet - the paranormal version - sort of. . . As you go along in the story, things that happen early on, things that don't seem to have much effect on the story, start to really come into play. That made for an interesting read for me as then I started thinking about things that had been mentioned and wondered whether they would show up again. You kind of knew part of the ending, as Larissa shares that at the beginning - where she is and that this has all already happened - but getting back to the point was a great read! less
