Well, I totally loved this mini book! I've read 2 other books from this author and i've absolutely loved all of them!

Point of View. I've talked so much about a book's point of view in the past that I think everyone knows that I love First Person. For whatever reason, i usually have a hard time getting into stories written in 3rd person. The books written by J.Meyers are all third person but they are written so beautifully and craftily that i didn't even realize! They are so captivating i didn't have time to concentrate on the point of view! Another thing that these books do great, is that they switch between characters. This gives great perspective to the scenes without getting confusing. I enjoy reading J.Meyer's 3rd person books.

Plot. The purpose of this companion is to help establish Jonas' back story. In Intangible, you can absolutely tell he's a different sort of vampire and he alludes to his past and what how his past shaped him, but since this books it's all about him and his struggles, you can really see it firsthand. It's switches between "now" and 200 years in the past (when he was still human) which gives an excellent overview of his character! It's truly a heartbreaking story but i'm glad to know more about one of my favorite characters of the series.

For me this book was over too soon. I def wanted to know more! I cant wait to read the the next book in the series and i would def recommend this novella and the other novella, Intuition, to anyone wanting to get into a great paranormal series!

Obviously, i really love reading... I'm not sure if that's because it's an escape from my own boring life or if it's because i have no real friends (lol) but i just really like it! I wanted to post today about my preferences in books!

First first thing in determining if i'll read the story is point of view! For whatever reason, i cant really get into books writing in 3rd person! I've read some amazing books writing in 3rd person, but i really prefer 1st. I like 1st person with alternating views also!

As far as genre, i only read Young Adult and Clean New Adult. I love paranormal, supernatural and fantasy books! I like a little romance mixed in... As for as historical and contemporary, well i don't go gaga over them but i might read them if i like the premise!

Nest thing is length. I prefer small or medium books because i get bored easy. Novellas are sometimes too small though. Somwehere around 200 pages is best for me!

As far as emotions go, I like funny books and sarcastic characters. Also, i like confident, brooding men...lol... male characters I mean. Not too much into the tear jerkers...super-love epic cliffhangers though!

What are your preferences?

With love,
Margaret
