Review #1

Reviewer: Gayle
Book Rating:
Reviewer Comments: This is the second Jennifer Scales series book written by the husband and wife team, and what a mystery this team weaves for young adults!  Full of were-dragons, were-spiders and warriors sans the horror normally found in books of this genre.  Jennifer and friends are dealing with normal adolescent problems common among most teens.  Throw in some very unique anthropomorphic changes and you wonder just how they hold it together.  The story focuses on maintaining friendships regardless of the dramatic personal differences that try to tear this group apart.  Also, it is great to see Jennifer find common ground between her diverse parents.  Anyone, regardless of age, who appreciates a good lycanthrope story, will enjoy these books.

Reviewer Comments: The second in the Jennifer Scales series is also a very good read. At first I found the somewhat soap-opera-ish plot to be a bit much even for a fantasy, but once I accepted the drama I thoroughly enjoyed it. This series is marketed for teens but is a good read for adults as well. Jennifer is being trained in her mother's heritage and struggling with friend and family relationships, while trying to avoid being killed. Who says teenagers have it easy?! Especially half-weredragon teenagers facing a lot of secrets. I look forward to the third book!
