This was very sweet and made me feel very happy.
Mary's books, no matter my mood, no matter anything really, they just do it for me. It feels really good to start a book and have a pretty good idea of what you are going to get, not to mention exactly what you need.
Glad I finally gave this one a chance. No idea why hesitated. Stupid me....more
I’m just going to go with the standard “it’s me and not you” about this book.
I just didn’t get it.
I didn’t feel it. Well, that isn2 stars = It was ok.

I just didn’t get it.
I didn’t feel it. Well, that isn’t true. There was a lot I did feel but the majority of that was the secondary stories and not the story I think I was supposed to feel.
I feel like the relationship between these two boys was off the page more than it was on the page and I never really understood the connection. They spent the Summer together but we got only a slight glimpse of that. Mostly I felt I was told they connected over the Summer. I needed to hear the conversations and see the interactions in order for me to get them.
Then they interacted. Then they were apart again. Then there was a look that I guess spoke volumes. I needed more conversation.
I felt more for the relationship between Cody and Logan than I did for Cody and Nate and I don’t think that was what was supposed to happen. I got to see why Cody and Logan were friends. I was invested in their relationship. Totally.
I never understood why Nate’s Father moved there in the first place. The place was horrible and dying. It never made sense to me. In this big old US of A that was the only job as a police officer he could find?
For as angsty as the story tried to be it all just seemed too easy at the end of the day. Fairy Tale easy. I just kept thinking wow, that is lucky! It’s like the book wanted to be dark and stormy but then got confused and decided to be rainbows. I got whiplash. All the things that were going on in the book were pretty serious topics. Everything was desperate. I am the first to tell you I need a HEA in my books but to me this was not a realistic one or one that fit with the rest of the book.
Nate’s Mother is a fucking bitch. I hate her.
The eighties. I liked that but sometimes I forgot. It was like there were little hints here and there to remind me when it took place but really, a Member’s Only jacket mentioned would just make me say oh yeah, the eighties.
Anyway, really, I think it was just me. This just didn’t work for me. I didn’t get it. I didn’t connect. It happens....more

Well, maybe I like books about Angels and Demons. There is just something special about a good hearted Demon or a Fallen Angel. I love the fine line between Heaven and Hell and I expected so much from this book.
I can’t even with how very disappointed I am.
The story had everything it should have. The Demon, the soul selling guy and the ever perfect Guardian Angel. It seriously had everything I would have wanted in this type of a book but it was missing something so important that getting everything else right meant nothing.
There wasn’t any emotion. Oh! Maybe there was no soul! Ha Ha, get it?
I felt nothing for any of the characters. Nothing. I didn’t feel bad about the sister. I didn’t feel bad about the soul selling. I didn’t feel bad for the Demon who was cheated. And I mostly didn’t feel anything for the true, through time, forever love.
It isn’t that I was bored. It was that I felt nothing at all. I turned the pages and read the words but felt absolutely nothing. I don’t even think the characters felt anything honestly. My sister is dying. I should sell my soul to the Devil to save her. Sign where? It all seemed so flat and blah.

Last night I chose this book to read today. I figured I would start it in the morning, knowing there were plans for the day, with no worries. I'd start it, it's short, all will be ok. Except, because I will never learn, it wasn't. As is with me and Lanyon, I couldn't put this one down, again.
So, what did I think? I loved it, loved it, LOVED IT!! I think you will love it too! Read....more

All day yesterday I was off. I felt anxious. Unsettled. Not really in a bad mood and not really angry just NOT ME. I couldn't figure it out. I haven't been sleeping great (thanks Mom) but I didn't really feel tired. I had a long weekend, life is great...
And then I realized it was this book. It was affecting me like Harry wearing the Horcrux and I couldn't shake it. I couldn't stop reading but felt dread when I thought about it.
Overall I don't know how I feel exactly about this installment of the series. I know it was an uncomfortable read for a lot of different reasons and I am unsure how I feel about the end.
What I do know is I need a quick break and will probably need to re-read at least the last 20% again before continuing. So, that's where I am right now.

It is now half way through the day after and I am still thinking about this book.
I think I had one suspect in mind while reading and honestly, I was dead wrong. Not at first mind you because jeez, there were just not enough specific clues for that. There were a couple of things said and done that made me suspect this person but then I kind of started thinking of someone else and until the end I wavered back and forth. There were a lot of people that could have been the killer though and I loved that. I loved the individual conversations with different characters that would give you a tiny push to “is it them?” and then the “nah, it can’t be them, that doesn’t make sense”. The mystery was very well done. The author did a fantastic job in keeping you guessing until the end.
What an end huh? What else can you do? I just felt so very bad for, well, never mind that. Believe me, I just felt really bad at the end but totally got it.
I have a lot of questions though, and not in regards to the mystery. The non-mystery part of the story didn’t make much sense to me and I was left a little confused. I just didn’t understand Bryan and my heart hurt a lot for Sam. I know that the romance was kind of an extra to the main story but it was there and I needed a better understanding. I would have liked a bit more dialogue from Sam too. It seemed the conversations they did have were always the same and in the same place. I didn’t really get to know him at all. I honestly felt like I knew more about the secondary characters.
Overall this completely held my attention and was really a great mystery with very disturbing crimes. Very disturbing. I liked it. And, well, I am still thinking about it, that really is telling.

Yowza. Shit. I think I knew but I am not sure. I was a little put off by the religion but overall it was a small town mystery and it had me turning the pages. But, I hated the religion aspect. Seriously. Poor Sam who seemed to have no voice....more
