A genius at evoking a mood, scene, and character Dodd elegantly weaves all three together in this story with equal weight. I have long been a fan of Dodds' poetry, and this novel reaches many poetic points in both his use of language and the intoxicating (no pun intended) way he manages to paint scenes with words so that very specific moods and nuanced emotion come alive. Dodds is truly a wordsmith, and he has created a host of characters, especially the main protagonists, that will be very hard to forget - mostly because we know these people, either because they dwell within us or because they live among us. Besides, it a damn good noir story about one of those forgotten New England towns, and it's full of blood, guts, grit, love, and loss. Hard to put down - highly recommended.", "target": "5"}

Relationships with their mothers and fathers are also important for both of the two friends. The narrator is a likable but frustrating character who seems too malleable. Her friend, her mother, and later her famous boss, have too much power over her, which is not a traditional gender submissiveness because the person with power also is a woman, and the narrator is uncomfortable with her malleability. Her lack of growth through much of the book is frustrating. Race also matters to the story as both the narrator and her friend are half black and half white, growing up in London housing projects. This is a good book for being pushed to take another perspective, and my feminist reading group had a great discussion of it. On the other hand, it is not really pleasant reading and can be slow going at times.", "target": "4"}

I tried them on in my house, walked from the kitchen to the living room and back, and when I sat down to look at them, noticed that the felt had already started rubbing off, which definitely renders them un-returnable.  Since it adds no cushioning for the foot, and their ribbon-type logo is underneath the felt and doesn't seem like it will ever rub off, I think they're doing this to render them non-returnable.  See my uploaded photo.\n\nThe pink and orange is very vibrant, exactly as in photos.  The stripes are fun and playful.  Though they remind me of circus shoes, I will wear these with jeans, etc. as an any day shoe.\n\nI purchased an 8 1/2 (my normal size wearing shoes without socks) and they fit right on, true to size.  I am impressed with the cut.  I've been trying on a lot of dress shoes lately and many, even very well known reputable brands, come to a fairly sharp angle at the back of the heel, which, even with a gap, often rubs uncomfortably and causes blisters.  These are the first to not have this problem, being nicely shaped to the foot (at least my foot) and nicely ergonomic.  I have medium-slightly wide feet, and these fit comfortably enough in the toe box (my right foot, which is a tad bigger, could use a bit more).  I do not have issues with arch support (except on completely flat shoes) and these seem to have normal.  The heel is substantial and very stable.  There is a small amount of toe cleavage visible.\n\nI wish that they would put more padding for the ball of the foot, both on the inside and the outside.  It is minimal.  More padding would improve them a lot.\n\nLater... I have now worn them out twice and they are getting filthy already.  The cloth is just too absorbent to dirt.  I purchased a spray stain guard and sprayed them, but it has made little difference.  There is a reason shoes are usually made of leather and other synthetic materials.

I have read more than 10 of her books yet each time, it's a new different adventure.  Yes, I agree that she sometimes described her herione pretty much with the same physical descriptions such as freckles in noses, smells like roses, etc...  However, I find this flaw rather inciting.\nMadelyne's strength, courage, patience and love for others simply captivated me to read on.  Despite all the miserable times she had encountered during her growing up years, she still manages to keep her heart & spirit intact.  Even after all the beatings and living life without a mother and a father, she still counted and appreciated her one single blessing of having an uncle who loved her.  She doesn't dwell on the past, doesn't hold onto hate... and what's even more amazing is her unselfish side of wanting to help others find peace and happiness.  Duncan is a true warrior in every way.  He's honorable & patient. Practical & very disciplined...until love sinked in, and that's when practicality & disciplined became somewhat a burden.\nThe slow realization and acceptance of love between the two was simply perfect.  Each scenes, little gestures of passions made this book irrisistible.  There are many heart warming and humorous scenes in this book as well... The warming of Duncan's feet, the wedding, the learning of archery, the finding of the WOLF, the beginning of friendship with Duncan's sister, Adela & a whole lot more.  I could go on and on but I don't want to give it all away here for those who haven't read it yet. Oh, I must add that I find Madelyne's clumsiness entertaining. The secondary characters all contributed to make this book worth reading for as well.  Perhaps J.G. will write a sequel or a seperate book for Duncan's brothers and Adela's love story?  The family twist and complications added spice and thrill from front to end.  A must read & a keeper!", "target": "5"}

She believes that is all she is worth prior to the comas onset.\n\nWith help from Zoe and Cathryn Nell finally starts to believe in herself but she does not have much time if she is planning on saving Rafes life and redeeming herself in the process.  In fact Nell has less than 24 hours to train, become part of the institute, travel, and save Rafe.  If she can save him, where will they go?  What will they do?  Will he be so physically and emotionally damaged that even Nell cant break through?\n\nYou do not have to have read Undeniable to pick up Unquenchable and understand what is going on.

It requires two AAA batteries and the lock for the battery lid can be a bit tricky.  It opens easily but at first it can be a little difficult to close and can require more force than with similarly shaped electronic devices, such as a remote control, but not so difficult as to be a real obstacle.\n\nOnce set up, it's fairly intuitive, one button is for choosing the correct mode, such as car, house or star (each mode is arbitrary and interchangable), then the other button is for starting the journey.  Once you've pressed the start button, then you want to shut it off to save the battery life, and whenever you've reached your destination, you turn the device on, and voila, it'll automatically point you back in the right direction from which you came, plus it will tell you how far you have traveled.  When you first turn it on, however, you have to wait for the satellite dish symbol to stop blinking, which means that it has found its GPS coordinates, and depending upon where you're at, this time can vary in length.  Staying outside of buildings will give you a faster response.\n\nIt also has a compass that's easy to navigate and it allows for a reset in case you feel it's off kilter.  To reset the compass you simply turn it on then move it several times in a horizontal, figure 8 shape, and that's it.  Beyond that it's a rather straight forward, utilitarian compass, although one disappointing feature is that it doesn't give each direction such as north, south, east and west, it simply has an arrow that points north, and it also gives you the compass degrees.  For the novice, it would have been nice to have all 4 directions indicated since not everyone knows that a compass always points north.\n\nAnother cool feature is that it has an automatic shut-off setting of a few minutes to preserve the battery life, and it won't accidentally turn on since you have to hold the power button down for a few seconds to turn it on.\n\nIt's ruggedly built so it'll withstand bumps and falls, and looks like maybe even water but this I don't dare test nor is it mentioned in the instructions.\n\nThe only major downside I've found is that if you're surrounded by concrete structures or thick walls deep down in a building's basement, the GPS locator does not work, something to keep in mind when you're using this.  I suppose this might be considered a given or common sense if you will, but again, not everyone knows how these devices work so just an fyi for the potential buyers out there.\n\nOverall, a handy little tool for your average city trip, Sunday drive or sightseeing, but I wouldn't recommend it for the hardcore adventurers.", "target": "4"}

In the story we find an old vampire who is just living, not enjoying life and full of despair because he is the last vampire. He is the last because the enemy wiped them all out, very nearly Michael too but he survivedjust. Now he is alone, he cant turn any of the Dhampirs, cant breed and has no want for power..until he meets Claire. Her blood calls to him, he has never wanted anyone the way he wants Claire and one taste will never be enough.\nClaire was only trying to steal Michaels watch so she could afford her rent but there was something about him that pulled her into his arms, into doing things she wouldnt necessarily have done  but once the watch was her, she was gone.\nBoth Michael and Claire cant escape the connection they shared that night, he needs to find her because she is his tether she has given him his soul back and he can finally become the powerful vampire he is meant to be, he can create his race again but how can that be when Claire is human? Claire is thrust into Michaels world of blood and death as she becomes the target of an age old enemy who are determined to eradicate the vampire race once and for all.\nI really loved this book, it seems vampires are making a comeback lately and if they're all going to be like this then Im a happy lady! I liked the premise of the book with Michael being the last vampire and holding the fate of his race in his hands, we are given a few flashback scenes of Michael throughout the book to show what happened to them and why he was the only one left. Its plain to see that he is living half a life and is quite pitiful when we meet him, he even has to force himself to feed and all of the Dhampirs know that he is weak. Because he is the last of the ancient ones, he also carries the burden of being the one to hold all of the history of the vampires and the consciences of the slain collective and also the current dhampirs. This is a heavy burden indeed. He has practically given up hope when he finds Claire and it takes him a while to understand why he feels the way he does which gives Claire opportunity to leave, meaning he will have to find her. I thought Claire was a great character, you could tell she was a survivor and had those skills so she was never going to take the mating bond lying down. I like it when they fight like that, more times than enough the men are swept away with the realization that they have found their one and the women take some convincing which is so much fun to read. I loved the way these two clashed, both as stubborn as each other and unwilling to bend  that is until the bad guys came knocking. They definitely had the chemistry that makes you get involved in the relationship and that is topped with some nice sexytime and a great surprise.\nAs I said  the story was great and the premise too. I liked how the enemy was linked to Michaels past and how they made their presence known, there is also a few things to discover about the enemy too. Much of the story is about the relationship and how they get together, the enemy becoming more active and involved especially when its clear that Michael has found his mate but the story branches off for some of the secondary characters too which I enjoyed because I like to get to know everyone and know what is going on in all areas. This is done with multiple povs which I think enhanced the story here, it helped to build the other characters up so that you could get to know them more and also get into the mindset of the enemy who aren't short on their own drama either. There are also some great fight scenes and action throughout as Michael takes on anyone who means Claire harm, adding an element of danger that kept the plot exciting. I was very satisfied by the ending of the book, obviously with it being book one it is left open for more and book two seems set up so now just for the wait  great start though and Ill definitely be reading the sequel.", "target": "5"}

Check. Annoying bad guy lackey?  Double check. Predictable plot, mostly a vehicle for special effects?  Check.\nI mean, you've got a guy alone in a tunnel, and you need to grab his body, so you just grab his tongue and eyes?  Makes for some icky looking scenes as he tries to talk and wanders around blindly with bandages over his eyes, but I can't even begin to understand why, except for the icky scenes.  Plus it gives the lackey a chance to show what an evil double crossing lackey he is.  That's the sort of movie this is.\nIt's Indiana Jones without good acting, but on the plus side it has cool special effects.", "target": "2"}

KA is one of my most read and most loved authors. That is why it pains me to give her anything other than a 5 star rating, but it is what it is. Millie martyred herself for 20 years for a very contrived reason. It didn't feel authentic, High was an ass and made an about face too quickly, and the ending was so rushed that my head is still spinning. This felt like the author was working against the clock and she had to force the plot to happen. So disappointing.\n\nHaving said that, I will forever be a fan and will continue to read KA's books. She is one of my #1 rereads. Sadly this one will not make the list, but oh well.", "target": "3"}

The characters ring true and are likable.  However, even though I can understand the author's reasoning, I wish the main character would actually take a chance and choose Amish farmer (Benjamin) over the safe and predictable choice (local sheriff) - it just would make things more exciting and certainly result in fuel for future stories.  I can imagine the colorful conflicts and mysteries that would result from such a marriage!", "target": "4"}

(Think Renee Russo meets Marilyn Monroe.) Give her a messy divorce from an apathetic husband, and threaten to take away her job--the only way for her to provide for her sickly young son. When her confidence is sufficiently shaken, put her in airport full of men she'll never see again and watch this normally self-assured and self-possessed woman test herself to see if she's still got \"IT\" by using one of the oldest tricks in the book: a very hot variation on the old bump-into-a-gorgeous-guy-and-dump-your-purse-at-his-feet stunt.\n Now take one haplessly unaware handsome man and put him in Kate's cross-hairs. Special effects wizard Mike Cameron (a Kevin Costner/Judge Reinhold amalgam) is simply minding his own business while waiting for his flight, reflecting upon the state of his long-term bachelorhood and finding it somewhat lacking. For the first time in his life he's giving serious thought to settling down. But how does he go about finding the right woman for himself? It's not as though she'll just fall into his lap, right?\n What worked for me:\n This was a fun couple; I really liked the interaction between Kate and Mike. Kate had no qualms about possessing such a classically feminine shape, and seemed very comfortable with herself. Mike certainly loved the way she looked... Watching Mike pursue Kate was very enjoyable. I know I certainly wouldn't mind having a man like that chase after me!\n There was also a very sweet secondary romance which I think might be interesting to explore as a prequel to this book, as well as potential for turning Kate into Cupid a few more times for Mike's three sisters.\n What didn't work for me:\n  Kate was understandably skittish about getting into a relationship again, especially since doing so put her young son's heart at risk as much as it did hers. But it still took her an _awfully_ long time to give in to her feelings.\n\n Overall:\n I really loved this book! It was fresh and funny with a unique approach. The little \"Dear Cupid\" letters at the opening of each chapter were wonderful, and the one at the end of the book was the best of all. :^) A great bubble bath book, but be forewarned that you'll spend a lot of time laughing so beware the danger of drowning yourself during a giggle fit.", "target": "4"}
