Book Description:
As
president of Paranormal Addicts Anonymous, Stella’s got no time for popular
guys. Especially the surfers who hang at Shoreline’s beach—they think flashing
a sand-sprinkled, tanned chest is enough to get any girl. But when surfer-hunk
Damien Capernalli crashes Stella’s PAA fieldtrip to a haunted bed and
breakfast, it may be time to rethink her priorities.
...And
what’s with that wolfish gleam in Damien's eye?
My
Take On The Book:
What a cute
read. I really laughed… I’m not sure what I expected when I chose to read and
review this title, but I can say it was this. (Not really a bad thing) It was a
really cute story with some squeal moments but it also felt like it was missing
something even with everything that was already going on. Regardless, I did
enjoy it.
The Great (Pros):
- Werewolves. I love werewolves! So this story was no different. The werewolves in this book were very teen wolf and their background, sweet. It added to the cute factor and I loved the pack dynamic.
- Stella. Lol this girl is just too much. I liked her attitude. Great lead. I also loved her style.
- Damien. A pretty sweet dude when you look past the egotistical attitude he sometimes shows.
- Kit. She is by far the best character. Who cares if she’s not the main character, she was my favorite.
- Romance. It was cute and funny and innocent. No steam but perfect as is.
- PAA. Paranormal Addicts Anonymous. Genius. I wish I’d have thought of that while in high school. My friends and I loved the read and watch anything Paranormal. Plus the whole group was pretty awesome and their interactions where hilarious.
The
Not So Great (Cons):
- Minor Inconsistencies. There were some point that didn’t add up. It kind of felt like the author might have forgotten about them then added some explanation together in a last ditch effort.
- Too much going on. As I said before, there is a lot going on in this story. A lot of paranormal things that I think might actually be the deterrent of this story. I felt bombarded and overwhelmed.
- Speed. It wasn’t fast and it wasn’t slow but matched with everything that was going on it could have done with some speed.
3.5 Quills
It’s a great
read, so don’t let the 3.5 scare you off. It’s cute and funny and not to be
taken seriously in any way. It’s a unique and intriguing story littered with
supes. But it has the cutest ending by far.
An Excerpt From The Book:
Sea
salt wafted in the humid sky, the full moon hidden by dark, puffy clouds.
Normally, Damien would be feeling on top of the world. A night at the beach,
with a pack of friends and girls—one in particular basically throwing herself
at him. The typical blonde bombshell cheerleader. Piece of cake. But things
weren’t feeling quite right.
Tina
wrapped an arm around his, as she sat with him beside the crackling bonfire.
She endlessly giggled, even when he wasn’t joking. It was way overboard. She
was trying too hard, and suddenly she wasn’t as attractive. Man, why be so serious? he told himself.
Just go with it. She’s hot. You like her.
She obviously likes you.
But
it was hard to let loose when he kept thinking about that girl at his uncle’s
pizzeria. She must have known him from school. She had called him by name. So,
why couldn’t he put a finger on who she was, what class they may have taken
together? He not only knocked her to the ground like a fool, he did something
else to anger her. If only he knew what that was… What made it worst of all, he
was actually going to accept her request for a date. It’s just that tonight he
already had plans with Tina.
A
half hour later, Damien was making out with the blonde in his jeep. He was
going through the motions, but his head still wasn’t clear. Why was he going to
let some random girl from earlier that night ruin his mood? It was so, so
irritating. He wished she never walked into his workplace. Whoever she was.
Whatever her name was. Tonight could have been so much easier, not being
confused over some dark and depressed Goth girl.
As
he kissed Tina’s neck, the scent of her floral perfume quickly morphed from
soft and seductive to strong and sickening. As if he had licked a bar of soap,
he could taste the smell. He pulled back and shook his head, wiping his nose
with a shoulder.
Tina’s
hands were around his neck the next second. Her fake fingernails lightly
pressed into his skin as she pulled him back down. Not wanting to totally ruin
the moment, he surrendered, and told himself to get a grip. He moved away from
her neck and back to her mouth. Soap. He could still taste her perfume.
Nostrils flared and he pulled back again, cringing.
“Come
here,” Tina breathed. “Don’t play hard to get now.”
He
opened his mouth and panted, hoping to release the flavor. Looking up to the
half-moon that peeked through a cluster of dark clouds, he suddenly felt like
gagging. In the next moment, he leapt off the girl and ran to the center of
some fir trees that bordered the beach.
“What’s
the matter?!” Her voice trailed after him.
Damien
hunched over and grabbed his knees. Something was wrong. Horribly wrong. He was
sure he was going to vomit whatever stomach flu suddenly overtook him, but
instead he felt possessed to howl hoarsely into the night: “Owoooo!”
