I really did not have any time to do reviews this week, and I barely had any time to read anything!

I had no clue what was going on too often in this book. It was like I was reading about one thing, and then all of a sudden I'm reading about something else...and there is no explanation or anything leading up to the change. It wasn't completely awful though. The plot was very interesting. It was unlike anything I have ever read, and I certainly don't regret reading it. It just wasn't great.
My rating: ☺☺☺
Midnight Pearls

This was another one of those "Once Upon a Time is Timeless" books. It is sort of a series of different fairy tales, by a bunch of different authors. So far, I have only read one other. I chose this one because it was by the same author as the other book I read. This one did not measure up though. I felt like the whole beginning and middle of the story were great. It was all leading to a great ending, and then just at the very end, everything changes and things are not the way I expected them to be. Now that is usually good, but usually authors build up to that change, and they make sure it makes sense! This one didn't even make sense to me. This one was not completely awful either. I may pick up some other books in the series in the future, but not in the near future.

This one really was decent. It wasn't my favorite, but I do intend on finishing the series someday. I have several other books that will come before this series though. I loved the characters, for the most part. Mary Quinn is a strong woman, but she doesn't let everyone know that. Many people consider her like any other woman at this time, one who would never go against a man. In the end, Mary pretty well saved her own life by keeping this trait a secret. I was definitely hoping for more mystery in this book. It had a lot of romance, which is ok too, but wasn't what I was expecting. Overall, it was an ok book, I may even add a smiley to my rating, but not quite yet. I still have to think it over a bit!
My rating: ☺☺☺
