This is an amazing coming out and coming of age story. It has all the doubt and angst that is felt. Michelle Arnold does a stellar job making you enpathize with the characters. I will highly recommend this book, especially to those dealing with coming out. The emotions were real.

Teenage Angst
This is where I would mimic Holden's whiny voice. I just don't have the energy for it, if you really want to know truth. I would always teach this in conjunction with the documentary about the assassination of Lenon and attempt o. Reagan. They were Catcher fanatics.

*This is a re-read for me, but my first review of the books*

A stellar novel of angst, suspense, blood sucking and romance when you least expect!

J.R. Ward is a phenomenal story teller. She pulled me from page one, and held me captive with Wrath's angst and pain, and with Mary's confusion and love. These characters weren't just created....they were molded into beautiful creatures of the night, and woven into the story line in just the right way.

This story of pain, unexpected love, sorrow and confusion is one that will sit with the reader long after the last page is turn. The Brotherhood is family now, and I look forward to continuing the journeys of each Brother's love story.

Definitely recommended with the highest of 5 stars!

Another fantastic story from this author. This is an amazing romantic suspense read with plenty of angst, drama and suspense. This author has a fab way of sucking you into the story so you feel all the characters emotions along with them. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Very satisfying read, as I've come to expect from Bear. While the intrigues could have been explained a bit more (especially on the fae side), I felt a kinship with the characters who were never quite certain as to what was going on. There was much less angst about who might be doing whom in this volume than in the last, which was a relief.

Gossip girl but in the Hamptons and the girl is the neice of the housekeeper.
I thought this would have more romance but mostly it is teenage angst, stuck up rich people, and two girls who become friends after some pretty weird stuff happens. It was a short read that was perfect for just having around but honestly I don't think I would pick it up ever again.
