review 1: I liked reading this book because it was a fast read from the beginning and then all of a sudden it started slowing down when you got further into the story. The Main character Caitlin drove me nuts. It felt like I wanted to slap her because she was so bossy and so demanding of wanting to know answers right then and there. Plus it felt like no other people were involved in the story and it was just about her. When I was reading some parts into the book I was getting into the story and the characters and then all of a sudden they were on to something else the next minute. It felt like they went off topic from what they were talking about. That drives me nuts. But the author did do a awesome job with the theme and the characters of the story. I won't complain about that. But... more I will only complain about the main character. Caitlin and her best friend Leah are high school students that have a another life that they don't know about. Until one day they when they went to school and they end up noticing two hot good looking guys that must of just started there. Well Caitlin ends up talking to one of the guys named Jace and then she meets his friend Talon. Leah falls in love with Talon and feels sparks whenever he touches her and Caitlin feels the same way about Jace also when he touches her. But the funny thing is that Jace has all his classes with Caitlin and Talon with Leah. Well they start going out to dinners and to a bomb fire. Well at the bomb fire things start to get brewing and this is when they find out they are different. Caitlin and Leah find out they are Lumina. They just thought they were just regular high school students but they aren't. Then we find out that Leah is adopted. Plus we also find out that Caitlin can't date or marry Jace because his type doesn't marry her type. But after reading this book I noticed that she is really mature for her age and should be a little immature because she is a high school student. She knew more about sexual things that I ever did at that age. So if you want a book that is a quick read and will keep you on your toes at all times then I would read this one. You will like it.
review 2: 'Painfully Ordinary" started out very interesting, but lost momentum through the middle of the book. I kept waiting for something to happen. There wasn't enough explanation as to why the main character Caitlin and her best friend Leah were so special and needed to be protection. There is also not enough background information and I ended up with many unanswered questions. However, having said that I did like the relationship Stephanie Amox created between Caitlin and Talon. Pixies, vampires, shape-shifters magic - this book has it all and maybe because of that the story gets lost in the lack of details. less
