Huh. I guess I expected to like this more but unfortunately I didn't connect with the story or the characters. I'll admit to getting a little emotional near the end when there was the "splitting up" part but I wasn't in floods of tears.

This is my second book by the author and I preferred the other book so I may go back to that series at some point in the future.

The series was created with close attention to the book it was based off of, this is always important to me. The casting was spot on and it was gripping and emotional from the first episode. (1 more)
This series is realistic in the way that it portrays teenage lives (I work in a high school and it's all about he said/she said and who is sleeping with who), but it also shows the negative impacts of people's actions (in the most extreme sense).
A lot if people are saying that the depiction of Hannah is not realistic, but I can't comment on that because I have never known someone who was suicidal. People are also worried about teenagers getting the wrong idea about suicide (that it is glorified). (1 more)
Some parents are concerned that the series (and book) deal with situations that are too sensitive for certain children.

I was entranced by the cover of this a long time before I realised it was part of the Hearts series. I'd not long since finished the first book which I loved, and I couldn't wait to read more books in this series, and it was only after I'd bought this that I realised it was Jack's story.

I did enjoy this, just not as much as the first. Jay just fascinated me with his magic and the whole back story and everything just blew my mind. This one, Jack seemed hot and sexy and the fire-breathing...but it didn't grab me as much. I wasn't as sucked into the story.

The description for the third book in the series has me intrigued as to what King's story will be about and I've already got it on my kindle to read but I'm not going to read it yet.

I got into these by accident. I had read the Twilight series and was on a Vampire kick and I stumbled upon these. There more aimed towards the young adult/early 20's reader but definately a good book to read if you're looking for more vampire! :) I loved them!

A new author and new twist on the hidden world of knights and the super natural in the modern world. It held my attention as I read and wanted to know what happens next. The first book on the series. Not intended for young readers. Adult situations and language.

I was hesitant after reading the summary, but I decided to give it a go anyway... I am so glad I did. After the first chapter I was hooked. I read it from cover to cover in one night. I will be anxiously waiting for the next book in the series!
