I'm not loving the sound of it at all, it's all very standard YA paranormal romance with lots of drama and unnecessary angst, so I think I'm going to steer clear. Hopefully the second book improves upon this one and brings something new to the table!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-11781560440041665912014-10-22T08:05:28.240-06:002014-10-22T08:05:28.240-06:00Sparkling ... really?
