ese sacred shores?" What I had in mind was rewriting the story in my own words, in my own way. I knew I needed to lengthen the period over which it was told from a few days to a few months, and I wanted to change the setting from Verona to Florence (where the “historical” Romeo and Juliet had played out their drama. I’d be fleshing out the lives, character arcs and motivations of Romeo and Juliet, losing some characters (Juliet’s nurse!), and adding others (a truly evil suitor and a best girlfriend). I’d be changing the helpful cleric from Friar Lawrence to Friar Bartolomo, and giving him a public face – the man who taught a weekly symposia on Dante Alighieri at Florence Cathedral (this really happened!).

Do you see it?! The little circle in the upper right hand corner declaring it "Bella and Edward's favorite book?"
That is NOT a sticker. It is imprinted directly on the book, and that is what makes me sad. I LOVE Wuthering Heights, and I really do love this cover as well, it's more appealing to a younger audience than any other cover I have seen, but the fact that Bella and Edward have to be stamped directly onto it to enhance sales is where my heart dies a little.
I know I'm probably just going crazy, but I've had enough of Twilight. There are so many amazing books and authors out there, I mean now I can't even have Bronte without some reminder of Twilight.
I understand why the publishing companies would do this as Twilight is huge right now, I get that and I'm not mad at them, rather I just don't understand how the movie can come out and suddenly everyone is obsessed.
At my school every single freshman and sophomore girl is going crazy with Twilight fever (many of which even refuse to read the book) I had my Twilight phase, I did, and I don't consider myself to be a Twilight hater - I still love the books it's just the extent of their popularity that gets me.
I'm sorry if this offends any of you, but it's just how I feel from what I have witnessed personally. To prove I am not a Twilight hater here is an example of how big of a fangirl I was at one time...
Yes, I stood in line for four hours after Eclipse came out, met Stephenie Meyer, and got all of my books signed, and it is still one of the best days I remember, but yes I do love Twilight, post movie Twilight is the one I have come to be disappointed with. I'm sorry if I have upset anyone with this post, it's not what I meant to do, it's just how I feel.
Please feel free to comment with your thoughts.
This book broke my heart.
I know, this isn't necessarily a bad thing - I mean it shows I was that involved in the story that it could break my heart, but it still wasn't a pleasant thing to have occur.
I love this book.
And I hate this book.
Both of these things are true, but I never realized how much of a fairy tale girl I am until I reached the end of this.
I never remember reading a book that enthralled me quite as much as this one did. I didn't put it down, and I was not willing to stand up until I had finished it in fear that moving would ruin the magic.
I hope you understand what I mean by saying I loved it and hated it. I did not despise it, I did not think it was poorly written, I did not feel it was lacking in anyway, but I did become disappointed with the end.
I read this book days ago, but I'm just now posting the review for a reason, I've been so unsure of it, and just so unsure of exactly how I felt. I've never had a book work up my emotions like this one, but I still remain blown away.
I think that's the important thing, the impact it ended up making on my feelings. I feel that is what made this book great.
I loved the Sisters, and the village and all of the secrets drove me crazy. The love was real and heartbreaking and made me just want to yell at the characters all of the time.
I highly recommend it to anyone.
Now I'm going to await the zombie apocalypse :)
It gets a 9.5

oesn't want, but it forever alters her life when she's unable to find an abducted teen before she's killed. While Trinity does help police capture the killer, Rafe Stevens, her involvement makes her his next target. Stevens pleads insanity and his convincing performance, aided by his despicable attorney, get him sentenced to a mental institute where a diabolical physician experiments on him. Now Rafe's escaped the sanitarium and he's after Trinity. Like her, he now has a special ability, one that allows him to stalk Trinity through her dreams. If he kills her in her sleep, she'll die for real. To survive she must find him first and the only person willing to help her is Dan Devlin, disillusioned son of the shady lawyer who knowingly aided Rafe in getting away with murder. Can she trust Dan with her safety, not to mention her heart? This book is a very fast read, but I found it to be very cute. It's a mixture of light reading with a paranormal twist, the idea of course being essentially hunted down in your dreams.
It's not a very long book, only being at around 200 pages, but I enjoyed it. Trinity's main problem throughout the novel is her dream walking, or what essentially is her interacting with people through her dreams. She finds out things she doesn't want to know about people and eventually finds out something so ghastly she has no choice but to try and help.
The book starts off with Trinity's best friend going away for the summer, but not only that but her mother also goes on a month long trip to Europe. I found that these two things were almost too coincidental, I kind of wish they had been a bigger part of the story. Because her mother is gone Trinity inlists help from Dan (who is also her arch nemesis' son) to help catch the killer and end whatever mind control he has on her dreams.
I felt this book was almost too light at times. The relationship between Dan and Trinity happened too fast, and I would have liked to see a bit more struggle, and not so much happiness - which sounds horrible, but it was a paranormral romance involving a killer! haha.
I really did like it, and it was a cute fun read, but I don't think I'll read it again anytime soon.
I give it a 7/10.
