I really enjoyed Elayna and Clay. I read <I>Bitten</I> and <I>Stolen</I> three years ago and never had the desire to pick up <I>Dime Store Magic</I>. I am glad I did though, Ms. Armstrong is a very talented writer. <BR/><BR/>Marg, That is one of the things I really liked about this story. Lucas and Paige's relationship was very believable and well developed. So many times, the H/h just jump so quickly into bed with each other. Here I felt there was proper development and it never felt rushed.<BR/><BR/>Nath, Well, Kristoff may not have been black, but he definitely fell into the darker shades of gray. I don't really want to say more without spoilers. He does end up making the ultimate sacrifice, though.Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-30930574524101067112008-08-05T21:58:00.000-04:002008-08-05T21:58:00.000-04:00I like how Paige and Elena are different. Actually...I like how Paige and Elena are different. Actually, all her heroines have their unique personalities and it ties up very well with their age. Anyway, I think that Paige is an idealist and it just fits :)<BR/><BR/>I have to ask though, Kristof is not really a bad guy here, right? I love this series, but was never really able to read this book, mostly because I don't understand the big fuss. After all, Kristof is Savannah's father and is not a bad guy, although he allied himself with a demon... anywa...

Although I admit to being lukewarm on Elena and company - so that might have something to do with it ;-) <BR/><BR/>I especially enjoyed how Armstrong wrote Paige as "young" without making her too-stupid-to-live. Which for some reason, seems to be a tall order for some writers.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.com
