Swans Book Review

I thought that this idea was really sound.  To have a book about a bride for each month of the year and by different authors.  I cannot be the only one to love this idea.  I was intrigued enough to read them, but unfortunately not in the correct order. Allie Andrews is cursed.  Not just her, her entire family is cursed and she could not be any more cursed than wearing the wedding dress that her grandmother, mother and aunt has gotten married in, more that once. On her wedding day, wearing that dress, that cursed dress that has plagued her family for generations, Allie knew that she could not do it.  She can't go through with the wedding and ruin his life, so in a state of self-sacrifice ( or so she tells herself ) Allie picks up herself and ran. ( Yes, like run-away bride ) You see, Allie's family has a long history of failed marriages and they don't just get married once, they do it over and over and over again.  It's hard to believe, but it's tru...

I was not fortunate to read the first book in the series, but I did get to read the second and now the third, but unfortunately I was declined to review the fourth, now I feel sad.  But that has nothing to do with just how fun and thrilling this book was to read.  Let me tell you my thoughts on The Beauty and the Barbarian. Merrin has been hidden away all her life, for she was born with the mark of a witch on her face.  It did not help that her mother died giving birth to her.  To save her life, a plan was erected for Merrin and her father to inhabit an islet where they lived peacefully for many years, until a Highlander washes ashore and disrupts their entire lives. Ian MacLeod thought that he had died and gone to  heaven  when he woke to see a vision of beauty that can only be bestowed on an angel (I'm getting good at this describing thing) .  When she recoils from him he thought she knew all of his evil deeds, but when he uncovers her witch'...

This book was my next stop on my "Try something new" angle that I just made up.  I have to say that up to now I was enjoying trying new things and then I read this book.  I'm not saying it was bad, but it needs some improvement if it wants to be great.  (In my opinion) Swift Hawk was just ten years old when the medicine man of his clan told him that his people are not part of the living but neither are they part of the dead.  So what I understood from this is that they are somewhere in limbo, waiting for a chance to be free. Swift Hawk was told that he had to go into the world of the living to right the wrong that his people did unto the world, and then, and only then can his people be free.  But how was he to do this?  A vision of an angel was sent to him, and when he set out to find the angel, she was not exactly what he was expecting. Angelia Honeywell is on the run from the law with her brother Julian, whilst their father negotiate for their ch...
