Mad Moon madmoon — I've read Jane Eyre - this is the second adaption that I've read. As a warning, I'm not going to be super-tight lipped about plot developments because this is a retelling - if I feel I need to talk about an aspect that will ruin the punch line, I will. If you've read the actual book, you shouldn't be surprised by what I reveal. This will serve as a spoiler warning - proceed at your own risk. Here's the front flap summary: Forced to drop out of an esteemed East Coast college after the sudden death of her parents, Jane Moor takes a nanny job at Thornfield Park, the estate of Nico Rathburn, a world-famous rock star on the brink of a huge comeback. Practical and independent, Jane reluctantly becomes entranced by her magnetic and brooding employer and finds herself in the midst of a forbidden romance. But there's a mystery at Thornfield, and Jane's much-envied relationship with Nico is soon tested by an agonizing revelation from his past. Torn between her feelings for Nico and his fateful secret, Jane must decide: Does being true to herself mean giving up on true love? An irresistible romance interwoven with a darkly engrossing mystery, this contemporary retelling of the beloved classic Jane Eyre promises to enchant a new generation of readers. Well, I don't think that this book enchanted me, but it wasn't bad. I like Lindner's reinvented Jane - she's smart, artistic, and a little bit unsure of herself. However, I have a hard time seeing someone so meak in a modern day situation. I mean, sure, anyone can be shy, but how she reacts to Nico is just so weird. I didn't like the guy who asks her to marry him (other than Nico) at all - he was weird almost creepy, as in creepier than I found Nico, which is pretty creepy. When I read the Jane Eyre, I'm pretty sure I wanted Jane to fall for him. I didn't this time. While Nico is creepy, Nico's daughter is so cute! Maddy is probably my favorite character. Just because she's adorable. There were a few other plot-twists that I didn't like at all. I won't reveal them, but most of them were near the end. Also, Nico's house isn't as creepy as it should be, in my opinion. A house that has a pool can't be all that eerie. I really liked Nico's band, though. That whole concept is really cool. I feel like I'm being a bit hard on this book. If this wasn't a retelling, I probably would have had a lot fewer negative things to say, but since it is a retelling, I'm comparing it every step of the way. I don't really like retellings; the author told it the right way, now you should think up your own story. I like it when people write sequels (sometimes), especially if I really want to know what happens next. While the twists she made were interesting, looking back she didn't do enough and was sort of ripping off the author.

Fady Milad fmdesigner — Johnny is an alien from the planet Lorien who had to take refuge with his guardian on Earth after his planet was destroyed. He has moved around and has had so many different identities that it's hard for him to keep track. But he has to stay ahead of those that wish to hunt him down and kill him. There were 8 other children who escaped also escaped and live all throughout the world. They are protected by a charm so that they can only be killed in order of the numbers they were given. Numbers 1-3 have been killed and Johnny is number 4. This book was pretty good. It was really slow in the beginning and I wish that the action would have been all throughout the book instead of in the last 40 pages of the book. It is an interesting concept, but it just wasn't as action packed as I would have liked and the "big" war at the end wasn't as big as I thought it could have been. It still was a good read and it did have me hooked, but I felt a bit let down. The author was very good about keeping the suspense going and really draws you in. I am excited to see how the story will unravel in future books if the author decides to do them. Content Warning: Language
