This was the series that got me interested in fantasy/paranormal w/ romance. I read this as a teen, and still to this day the storylines are memorable, as are the characters. Meg Cabot was the queen of slow burn with Jesse. He'll forever be my teen book boyfriend! Can't wait until my daughters are able to be introduced to this amazing author, and this fabulous series of books!!! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Although clearly aimed at the Tween-mid YA audience, I admired the vibe she put forth, not ascribing childishness or boring on about what the adults thought. The main character, Susannah (Suze), was a sharp, snappy protagonist and Cabot's dialogue struck me as genuinely "16 years old with an Attitude". Perfectly nuanced, though I found the 'fist in the face' a tad unrealistic. That type of slugfest can hurt one's fist (not to mention the victim) considerably more than portrayed, as does the event of having a breezeway falling on you.
Despite these niggles, the interplay within the classroom and Suze's step-brothers resonates with the situations in today's Middle school as much as high school, so kudos for painting a realistic picture. The paranormal aspect was well done and very intriguing with the way those scenes slipped into the narrative. Highly recommended for teens coping with new schools, social hassles and who are open to some paranormal episodes. A good type of story similar to Zilpha Keaetly Snyder's Stanley family series. ( )
