![]() ![]() I've given Stirling a pass on the insta-love in previous books because I think the soulfinder concept is a good way of explaining it, but the insta-character development is a stretch too far for me. This is partly necessary because so many normally intelligent people, including Xav Benedict, a really good character in previous books, appear to be acting stupidly. Crystal starts the book as a bratty teenager who is hard to like, and then becomes a resourceful young lady who's playing a huge part in the rescue attempt in virtually the blink of an eye. Part of the problem is that the characters aren't as well-portrayed as in the previous two. Sadly, I feel rather let down – I don't think it's up to Stirling's normal high standards. Despite being less keen on the genre than I once was, I was thrilled to get my hands on book three. ![]() Regular readers of my reviews may remember that Joss Stirling's first two books about the Benedicts, a family of Savants, were two of my favourite paranormal books of the past few years. ![]() After an unforeseen attack, though, the unlikely pairing will have to pool their resources to save their families. While her sister Diamond finds her soulfinder in Trace, Crystal can't stand his conceited brother Xav.

MY REVIEW AND OTHERS: can also be found on my blog: This is Beckett, Maddox, and Jett's story. This is the second generation of the Watch Me Burn series, but it is able to be read as a standalone. ![]() My name’s Beckett Donovan, and I take after my mother. I know it seems wrong but if I can’t have Maddox, no one can. My dads would kill me if they knew what was about to happen under their roof. I can’t let him weaken me, I already have Jett knocking my walls down a little at a time. Maddox is about to learn just how dangerous I really am. He ripped my heart out with his fist, and I’ll destroy him just as much as he destroyed me. In this life of fast cars and power, family means everything to me. What do you do when your best friend is the one to cross you?Įspecially when it’s your adopted brother. ![]() Problem is, things are about to crumble at my feet. I run the local college and the racetrack with my siblings.Įveryone knows I don’t hesitate when it comes to my blade.

So, let me take you back in time to my childhood. Yet, today is also a special day, which is why I am posting a review on the weekend, which I rarely ever do. Death Troopers is a fun blending of Lucas and Romero that is effective enough to please the hardcore fans of both.Īs you all know, we are currently immersed within the wonder that is Zombie Awareness Month. While I found the production a bit overdone with music and FXs, the narration was quite good.
