Rhiannon – I can understand that reaction; the writing definitely stumbled at times (feels like an author trying to write a debut novel at parts). BUT stick with it. I think by the end of the novel it’s worth it! Just my opinion, of course!

I’m reading The Demon’s Lexicon right now and STRUGGLING. The writing started out so brightly but in the middle it is bland and plodding. I shall persevere…

I bought The Demon’s Lexicon after Ana’s review. I loved it. I’m still fascinated by the dichotomy between the way Nick is conveyed by the author – cold and unfeeling – and yet he is such an extremely compelling protagonist to read. I agree it’s very unique and ballsy.

Terrific feature btw.

Kristen – When I followed your link, the book came up $18, but I did a bit more searching and found it for the $10.66 at this link: http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780575080294/Jasmyn . I’m not sure how they do their pricing, but I’m glad I found it for a reasonable price.

Ana – Of course, I’ll let you know how much I enjoy Jasmyn when I get to it!

Thanks everyone – I love the new feature as well. I get to read books and simply gush about them.

And you girls are awesome! I am so glad you bought the book, now let’s see if you will like it as much as we did!

Christine – We must have hit the site at the right time since I just checked again and it’s now $18 (only 10% off as opposed to the 54% off it was when I bought it earlier). Now I’m really glad I didn’t hesitate to purchase it (even if my husband did kind of look at me like I didn’t really need yet another book).

Great thinking, Kristen! I ordered it from there as well… but found it for $10.66 (US dollars). What’s up with that?

Of course I easily found three other books there that I had on my wish list, all at nearly 50%. I couldn’t resist.

Smugglers–you two should sleep well tonight knowing the good you’re doing for the world economy!

I also put Demon’s Lexicon on reserve at my library earlier today.

For those in the disappointed that Jasmyn is not out in their country yet: I just ordered the trade paperback from The Book Depository for $9.43 (US dollars). This site has free worldwide shipping. They also have the hardcover but it is a lot more expensive.

I also love the new feature! It’s fun to see what you both thought of a book.

I already really wished Jasmyn was out in the US, but now I wish it was available here even more. Hmm, wonder how much it is on The Book Depository…

Yep, love the new feature. And this was a great one to start with as I want to read both of these! So thanks for the reviews. They’re both on my list.
