Don't read it.
If you like Kinsella's writing (which I do) I suggest that you stop reading the shopaholic series at "Ties the Knot".
This addition to the series was the second worst book of the series (First being the Shopaholic and Sister"). I don't really want to blog about since I feel like I wasted a week reading it. See! It took me a week to read the book....when usually when I love a book it can take a matter of days.
Thankfully I borrowed it from the library.

Next book...Lynsay Sands "Born to Bite".

J.R Ward "Lover Eternal"
J.R Ward....J.R Ward....J.R Ward....why did you do this to me?
I've finished "Lover Eternal" and now I'm in limbo. I really loved the first book with everything I have and I was so excited to read this one. It seemed as though she forgot that she was writing a Vampire novel instead of a romance. The book carried on a similar theme as the first, but Ward seemed to focus more on the romantic turmoil of the two characters (Mary and Rhage)than furthering the plot. More than half way through Ward began an interesting twist in the story which I thought was going to lead somewhere exciting and nerve wracking but it dwindled into an ending that had nothing to do with the interesting part but rather someone just going to sleep. I was so bothered by this because I had expected so so much more.
You know how at the end of a novel (that is part of a series) there is a little excerpt of the upcoming novel. Well, normally I never read them since I want to be surprised when I get the novel. This time I made an exception. Thankfully I did. I feel that the next novel will be much better and will re-affirm my love for this author. It has to. Whenever I read a book that is part of a series I have this sick need to read everything and anything that the author may have written previously (i.e Laurell K. Hamilton).
Please, please, please J.R Ward....redeem yourself...I'm hoping to get you for Christmas and I really want to love you let again!!
Much Love <3
