"Witchy Business" (anthology), #5
Jan. 17th, 2010 02:41 pmAn anthology of three short stories. Genre? Paranormal romance.
"Under His Spell" by Julie Leto: The mythology was way too complicated for such a short story. The prose was way too purple. And there was more sex and moaning and horniness than plot. Ick. I mean, when you are about to slay your arch nemesis and you get all hot and bothered and almost start moaning aloud just because your partner is standing next to you, then there's just something majorly wrong with you!
"Disenchanted?" by Rhonda Nelson: Better, but still no cigar. I loved the relationship between Ben and his sister Vivi and the story itself was rather funny but Bryony's "I've only read about you but I ~know~ you and I love you and I'm totally and absolutely sure that you would love me too" attitude smacked of a rabid fangirl!
"Spirit Dance" by Mia Zachary: The best story in this book. Some nice Native American folklore. It wasn't just about sex this time and Siobhan and John actually knew each other before hopping in a bed together - which is always a plus in my book - but John's pig-headed refusal of anything magical, even though he had seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears annoyed the heck out of me after a while. Just like John's attitude towards his son - John himself had seen the ghost of his wife too, but instead of admitting it to Ben, he was trying to convince Ben that it was all in Ben's head, that Ben was crazy. Ick.
An OK book, but overall disappointing.

I'm officially giving up on this series. I can suspend my disbelief only so far. I could have accepted the whole Day Class/Night Class thingy if the existence of vampires was known and accepted, but two high school kids armed with guns playing the school protectors and directing the whole flow of the human/vampire relations... Nya, too much, going too far. Besides, Yuki, the main heroine, isn't all that likable, in my humble opinion. And the fact that she looks like a drowned rat doesn't help either. So yes, dropping it and moving on...
Human Target 101

( You want to know more? )
Based on the pilot, I will pass on it. I might try an ep or two later on but as it is, disappointing doesn't even begin to cover it!

Peeps, what's been your favorite new show of the 2009-2010 TV season so far?
For me, it's been White Collar. I'm so madly in love with the show that it's not even healthy. And if the writers break my heart after the mid-season finale, I will kick someone's butt to Hell and back!
Also, WhiCo's back in 2 days! \o/
