Thank you very much!bookowlie wrote:Great review! It's difficult to get through a book with a meandering plot. You made a good point that this type of plot makes a book seem much longer.

I think this book could definitely appeal to fans of those genres. Thanks for the kind words!Stevefromtheblock wrote:Thanks for a nice review! I think this would appeal to fans of the fantasy and the supernatural. Too bad the story wasn't better.

I like the line you start off with - it's really catchy and funny. Of course, the only thing that can bring vampires and werewolves together is someone who has it out for them.
I'm one of those readers who likes information to be as short as possible, although only when it's done right. And small town books are always fun. So yeah, this book sounds like something I would love.
The deal with Elizabeth's "contemporary" word usage would probably tick me off as well. She's an ancient being so she should speak like one.
Your review is excellent by the way.

Thanks a bunch for the kind words! I really like "small town books" too. It's always great when authors can build worlds based on small towns.

I definitely think you should give it a go!AmandaBN wrote:Maybe the next installment will be better! Thank you for the review. It does seem like an interesting concept. I may still have to read this one due to my obsession with the supernatural.
