Review: Mixed Feelings!  A New Young Adult Paranormal Romance.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 15, 2013
Part of me wanted to give this book 3 stars which under amazon's rating system means "It's Ok."  While another part wanted to give it 4 stars which under amazon's rating system means "I Like It."  Since I obviously found it interesting enough that I plan reading the next book I decided to ignore my bias against new young adults novels and give the book 4 stars.I say bias because had I read the reviews and realized that it was a NYA novel I probably would not have read it.  I rarely read the aforementioned genre anymore because after reading quite a lot of them I eventually found them too tame and unsatisfying.  Nevertheless, I did read the book and found it interesting.  There's mystery, humor, adventure, mild sex scenes and daydreams/visions about sex.  It includes, witches, vampires, guardians and angelic beings.  The author does a good job of building her paranormal world and with character development.  I really like how she depicts hafling in her world.  The pace at beginning is a bit slow and a bit convoluted but eventually it evened out and became even more interesting.  However, since my personality is more like Megan's, that is cautious, and have no siblings I found Morgan irritating at time.  Moreover, I wish the plot didn't portray Megan as being so romantically fickled and unfaithful.  There are some editing errors that the author should be more careful regarding but I did not allow said errors to influence my rating. Overall, the story makes a  good paranormal romance YA read if your not bothered by mild sex scenes.As an aside, the reason I didn't read the reviews thoroughly is because I found that too many of the reviewers were basically giving the entire book away.  I wish that reviewers would note or warn that their reviews contains spoilers.  It would frankly be more considerate if they simply refrained from giving so much of the story away.  It can't be that hard to simply state one's opinion of a book without reciting the entire plot.  That's not a summary of the story it's a SPOILER!  Once or twice I have unintentionally gotten too specific but when a reader brought it to my attention (via the comments) I revised my review.  I always place a spoiler warning if I know that I may be giving something away. There's no sense in purposely ruining the story for eveyone else.
