Usually, as was the case with this book, I will get on on Goodreads and see what people have to say. I don't usually let reviews make my decision on what to read or not, because I have a tendency to be able to truly enjoy most books that I read. But with this one, I let all of the negative reviews sway me and I think I may have made a mistake. Luckily, I now have Misfit on my Kindle because I felt bad about my rejection of it. After your glowing review, I am going to start reading it and make my apology complete! Thanks for another great review!Jaime Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102596597333629396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-65771947261789190482012-04-09T22:48:11.119-04:002012-04-09T22:48:11.119-04:00I've never heard of this!

Glad to see you enjoyed it though! Demons are one of my favorite fantasy elements in YA books because they, like you said this one doesn't, often don't shy away from violence and are scarier. I'll have to check this one out, thanks for the review! :)Linnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424238289531677554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-15303323849742674232012-01-17T14:01:56.426-05:002012-01-17T14:01:56.426-05:00Hey Evie, I really liked this book but it was hard...Hey Evie, I really liked this book but it was hard to get into at first.

Just...I have been eyeing this book for a long time. Just the name and cover have me totally intrigued and then when I read what it was about, yea I definitely want to read it. I absolutely love mythology and this book definitely covers it all which is awesome. Jael seems like such a great, strong character. First trying to be a normal girl is hard enough when your dad is strict, and then finding out you are a half demon thanks to your mother, that is one tough subject to bounce back from. It seems Jael truly wants to figure everything out and I can tell she grows a lot in this book. I love there is a romance in this book because I am a sucker for romance. You got a mysterious skater who is more than meets the eye and I am glad that his and Jael's relationship grows throughout the book. I can't wait to read Misfit and see her kick butt. I have a strong feeling I will love this book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-7371723262328987592011-12-28T10:45:16.939-05:002011-12-28T10:45:16.939-05:00I haven't seen many reviews for this, but this...I haven't seen many reviews for this, but this sounds fantastic!
