This series is so fun! ( )

I'm not sure what to say about this book. I really love Izzy and Henry and Rae. But I didn't at all enjoy where the author went with the story. Her family treated her like crap and I felt really bad for her. I really felt like the reader was owed a villain and we didn't really get one. The suspect that Izzy is sure is up to no good is of course a good guy. I really wanted her to be vindicated instead of being made to feel like a fool whose parents didn't really love her. You know they are the ones who raised her to be so inquisitive and driven to find answers and to be creative in her solutions so having her arrested for borrowing her mom's car with out asking seemed too much. Especially since her mother spent the book vandalizing a teenagers motorcycle. I'm thinking Izzy's lack of respect for the rules might just have some justification. And in a book that was supposed to be lighthearted and humorous watching my heroine see her ex boyfriends all hook up with Olympic stars, and losing her apartment and sleeping in her car and having everyone down on her for not being a caring person and thinking about others was just too much. All those other people could make fun of her and being shitty to her and that was okay? It was all Izzy's fault? Every body else gets to be wrapped up in their own drama and no one forces them to learn a life lesson. So back to the reader was owed a villain and Izzy was owed vindication. I just didn't like how it ended. Although I got to say that I guessed what was happening fairly early but was just hoping I was wrong.

The only parts I really liked were with Rae and Henry. I hope Izzy ends up with Henry since she loves him but at this point I don't really trust the author to get me there. ( )

The Curse of the Spellmans was a great continuation of The Spellman Files. The title encapsulates the feel of the family -- there is something that has ahold of these people, even David. Isabel can't decide where this curse wants to take her either. The book has an interesting ending. ( )
