Thanks for commenting. I love that you are true to your characters. It is great to read a book where the characters are not forced into a prescripted HEA, but are given their own ending. It is more organic. I love it!<BR/><BR/>Leslie- Keep reading!<BR/><BR/>Jessica- Demon Moon is coming up soon, trust me!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592907195198835800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-3912140385278839022008-10-30T16:24:00.000-07:002008-10-30T16:24:00.000-07:00Great post!

Let me just opine that when you do, you will be forced to abandon these rational posts and be reduced to the inarticulate "squee". IMHO, it's only after Demon Moon that you can truly be said to have drunk the Meljean Aid!;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-65437555635883698562008-10-30T12:48:00.000-07:002008-10-30T12:48:00.000-07:00Hey Shannon, can you let me know the best way to c...Hey Shannon, can you let me know the best way to contact you?

I keep hearing wonderful things about it. I like that she mixes it up with the HEA/HFN endings. <BR/><BR/>Great review!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-18720627894891027962008-10-28T20:58:00.000-07:002008-10-28T20:58:00.000-07:00*slinking in*Normally I wouldn't comment, but I do...*slinking in*<BR/><BR/>Normally I wouldn't comment, but I don't see much about the HEA/HFN issue in regard to my books -- so I just wanted to say: Thank goodness it feels that way. Emily and Anthony have a traditional wedding and HEA, but it definitely didn't feel right with Hugh/Lilith (after everything they'd gone through to be together, a marriage would just feel anti-climatic to me and not really true to the characters) and Selah/Lucas ... well, it would just be way, way too fast. <BR/><BR/>So I do often have to replace the marriage/babies (Guardians/vampires can't have babies, so that's not even an option) with a commitment that will last as long as they live. I know that's not always enough for readers -- but I also think that if by the end of the book a reader isn't convinced that the couple will stay together forever, no marriage proposal will fix that. <BR/><BR/>So this is a very long way to say: I'm so, so glad that you enjoyed it :-)meljean brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135527993507471830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-66717394433231154312008-10-28T20:07:00.000-07:002008-10-28T20:07:00.000-07:00I'm even later to the party than you are.

I have four Meljean books sitting on my shelf and I haven't read a single one of them because I can't find the Hot Spell anthology at any of my local stores. I feel awful about it too, 'cause I talk to her on Twitter all the time.JenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838413937781714488noreply@blogger.com
