Review: Sam I Am
Rating: 4 out of 5

I am familiar with Heather Killough-Walden's Big Bad Wolf Series but those are much more adult than this one. Sam I Am did have a lot of sexual tension for a young adult book and more cursing than a typical. There was a lot of repetitiveness and some very obvious plot turns. I liked Sam, I liked that he was a sort of likable villain, sort of, he was still pretty bad, but I don't think it's his fault it's just his nature. The beginning of the book, the prologue, gave this book a more magically druid, dangerous feel than what it was. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as this author has done in her other works. It ended on a cliffhanger, and I hate cliffhangers usually, but this didn't really make me want to rush out and buy the next one. Which is good because it's not out yet. It had a pretty good closing for a non-series, then they added the cliffhanger. I will probably pick up the next one when it comes out, the story did have some good moments, it was intense in areas that made me want to keep reading, but I felt annoyed in other parts. What is wrong with Logan's brother? I don't know, I'd like to know exactly what is causing his tantrums, and why her parents allow their other kids to be injured by him, that was annoying. It is a good read for Halloween, it takes place in October and has a Halloween theme so it fits right in to this months mindset. Overall I'm pretty neutral on this one.
