Awesome and fun read!!! Sequel??

This book was a joy to read. I'm really hoping a sequel may eventually come about. It's a unique and enchanting tale. A young teen boy opens the door to discover a baby on the doorstep. Imagine his shock to quickly learn the young tyke is his. As the book begins we see him as a typical teen. Rather self involved. However as it unfolds we see him as a truly caring, smart and brave young man. It would be a trial for any single, teen father....except this baby is unique to say the very least. She can vanish in the blink of an eye and pop up in a whole other room. Imagine the sheer panic when she first did that little trick . Yet he and his family (father and 2 younger brothers) took it all in stride. There's a mystery behind how the child gained this ability, and why her mum felt the urgency to flee. I loved seeing him grow as a dad, while peeling away the layers to the mystery of who hunts his child and her mother...and why. We meet a cast of amazing characters along the way. Lots of laughter and cheering occurred on my end. It didn't end on a cliffhanger per se, but I would love to see what else happens in the future of this amazing baby and her dad. This is not in my opinion classified as a true paranormal book. There is a slight paranormal tone with what this little cutie can do, but other than that it's not. In my mind it's a fun read with elements of mystery, adventure, teen angst and paranormal overtones. It is a fun read that I think everyone from teens and adults will enjoy. It's about family and love in many forms. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for an enjoyable read!!!… (más)

Spoilers!

I have loved this series and read the first two every quickly, but in the third novel I got bogged down wtih the addtion of a third boyfriend, who I didn't like nearly as well as the first two (he was much too arrogant) and the addition of another magical complication in her life. She's a faerie, with another name to keep track Normally I like the "out there" books, but this just felt like overkill. I even love modern day faerie tales, but I want to know from the beginning that's what I have--don't dump it in the third book.

Instead of giving Allie a chance to grow up and mature, she keeps getting more immpossible things to deal with, maybe it's all a dream and she's living in one of Junior's Spanish soap operas. I'll look for the fourth one, but I will bail out if I meet another boyfriend.… (más)

We were told we were getting the whole set by the publisher through NetGalley I never did get the set, I got one eBook, and I was expecting the rest as promised. We were suppose to get the full set so that way we would pretty much know what was going on when we reviewed Midnight Moon, and than do our review. I even have the email that states we were to get the set through NetGalley and make sure our emails were up to date, which I did. I guess if it's a promise you can't abide by I will have to accept that.… (más)
