The Pentacle Pendant By: Stephen M. DeBock ISBN: 9781936564279 Expected Publication: October 14, 2011 Available Format: Hardcover, Paperback, ebook My Rating: ★★★★☆ In the throes of passion, Claire doesn’t take her lover seriously when he confesses he is a werewolf and asks if he can change her. When she awakes, it isn’t such a joke to her any longer. Claire manages to somehow adjust to her new life. Soon, however, her lover is led astray by another woman who wants his gift as well as his loyalty. When she realizes his heart belongs to Claire, she vows to destroy both their lives forever. Now, Claire is pursued by agents who wish to protect her and the evil that wishes to end her life. Who will succeed, and will Claire’s humanity survive the heartbreak and loss she must endure along the way? Don’t let the synopsis fool you. This isn’t really a romance novel. There are werewolves and vampires and big, burly military guys…okay, so that doesn’t help much does it? Well, how about a kick ass protagonist who is after the next righteous kill and a nasty vampire that mutilates her boyfriend? I love the way Claire’s character was introduced as cruel and vicious. It makes the reader want to hate her initially. Then, we get to go back and hear her story and see how she got to that point and what is driving her to be so vicious. We see her in a whole new light and can’t help but have sympathy. I’ll probably get labeled a prude again, but all the sex in the first half or so started to get on my nerves a bit. I get what the author was putting across, but at some point, I really wanted more content and less bedroom. I was also a teensy bit put off by the art teacher’s intro to the story. At first, if felt like he was interrupting the plot…but as things continued to develop, it was easy to see exactly what a very pivotal purpose his character served. And, in a way, the interruption fit perfectly with his character (i.e. irritatingly persistent). ;-) Overall, this is a great take on the darker side of werewolves and especially vampires. It’s nice to step away from the young adult interpretations of these creatures now and then. This story evoked so many reactions and emotions while being satisfyingly entertaining. What more could you ask for?!? Another great read from JournalStone!

Bought this book to see what all the hype was about. I have to admit that the first 40 pages or so my eyes were drooping from back-story and I kept wondering when I was going to meet this girl with the frigging tattoo. When I did manage to meet her, she was fairly interesting. In a scary, sociopath sort of way. I figured out the ending before I got there, which disappointed me. I kept hoping that the hype was all about a special twist at the end that would blow me away and it really didn't. So when I put the book down at the end my reaction was just; "Eh." It wasn't a waste of money or time, but it wasn't spectacular either. If I could, I'd put 2.5 stars up there to keep things at an even keel.

Brilliantly mocks the conventions of the epic poem while criticizing 18th century "polite" society.

I thought this book was much better than his first and do look forward to his third as the characters become more developed.. I do enjoy ALbert's technical jargon..

This was a funny book about how Jancee Dunn went from typical New Jersey girl in the 70's and 80's to Rolling Stone writer and meeting some of the most influential pop culture icons of the past few decades. This was a good read that kept you going by every other chapter about either her life growing up in NJ or about one or more people she had interviewed for Rolling Stone, until the two converged in the end. Reading this was especially enjoyable for me as I am only a year or two younger than the author and grew up reading the same issues of Rolling Stone as Jancee Dunn. She's a good writer with an informal sense of style and nothing to hide about her foibles in life. I'd recommend this book to anyone who ever wore stretch pants, blue eyeshadow and hung a poster from Rolling Stone on their wall.

"have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is to live everything. live the question now. perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." I can find inspiration on every page. Rilke turns snail mail into gorgeous prose brimming with life lessons. Also, makes me wish I had a penpal.

First things first: let's give props to one of my least favorite Gossip Girl characters who has, in her new incarnation, become a girl that I actually like and am interested in. Sending Jenny Humphrey to boarding school at Waverly Academy has made for a pretty good start to what I think could be an excellent spin-off series. While the Gossip Girl world is filled with a whole lot of crazy and has a fairly detached feeling overall, The It Girl takes us a step further by getting away from the crazy trust fund princess types and giving us people from different backgrounds (albeit highly privileged ones) who seem to have more complicated issues driving their development. I'm curious to see how the rest of the story plays out, especially given the somewhat cliffhanger/suspenseful ending we're left with.

Easy to sit and read one evening. Beautiful descriptions of Italian shoe making. Fluff, but fun!
