I totally agree about Grace's parents - completely obnoxious. I also thought the book was fairly slow, especially at the beginning. I liked it, but it definitely has issues ...Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-61589152651624429432009-10-31T12:36:36.659-07:002009-10-31T12:36:36.659-07:00Amy, yeah, I think most people just like the ideas...Amy, yeah, I think most people just like the ideas of werewolves and vampires and fallen angels, etc.melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-47488143848013555162009-10-31T11:57:56.574-07:002009-10-31T11:57:56.574-07:00Ooh, I want to read this.

I have come across them in Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Mortal Instruments. <br /><br />I guess it is not so much which mythology is my favorite, I like them all for different reasons.Haiku Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935235354427184103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-48555149489477120842009-10-31T09:02:56.504-07:002009-10-31T09:02:56.504-07:00Suey, I'd be interested in what that librarian...Suey, I'd be interested in what that librarian said.

But the first place I saw it was when a YA librarian at "my" library sent out a review and BLASTED it! So, now I'm curious. Will I like it or hate it?
