Who is John Gault? Who cares?? I've tried reading this 3 different times since high school and I just cna't make my way thru it. I still have the book so I haven't given up trying, but UGH!

Sam ist geheilt, er verwandelt sich bei Kälte nicht mehr in einen Wolf und kann endlich seine Liebe mit Grace geniessen. Wie in jedem 2. Teil einer Reihe, in der sich das Traumpaar im ersten Band gefunden hat, wird es nun mit Problemen konfrontiert, die drohen, es auseinander zu reissen. In diesem Fall ist es der Gesundheitszustand von Grace, die unter Spätfolgen der Wolfsattacke in ihrer Kindheit leidet und ihre Eltern, die im Vergleich zum ersten Band eine Kehrtwende machen und Sam zunächst ausgesprochen kühl behandeln und Grace schließlich den Kontakt mit ihm verbieten. Ein neuer Wolf taucht auf, Cole, im früheren Leben umjubelter Sänger einer Band, Drogen und Frauen zugeneigt, sucht er jetzt den Kick im Wolf-sein. Zwischen ihm und Isabel knistert es gewaltig. Der zweite Band hat mir ebenfalls wieder sehr gut gefallen, vor allem die Geschichte um Cole und Isabel fand ich sehr spannend und ansprechend. Ansonsten plätschert die Geschichte etwas zu langsam daher, richtig spannend wird es erst am Schluß, insgesamt fühlte es sich eher wie der Auftakt zum Schlußband an, auf den ich jetzt schon sehnsüchtig warte. Trotzdem hatte die Geschichte wieder einen besonderen Flair.

At First Sight: Josie and her single mother Kate have been a dynamic duo for all of Josie's 16 years of life. But Josie's junior year of high school is shaping up to being something else entirely. First, they run into Paul Tucci's parents at a store - which sends the otherwise capable Kate into panic, crouching behind cans of cat food trying to stay out of sight. Who is Paul Tucci? Well, he's Kate's once boyfriend and the father Josie never knew. The Tuccis are back in town and deep down, Josie thinks is only a matter of time before Paul shows up too. And things only get more complicated when Kate starts dating a music teacher that seems to monopolize her time, and Josie tries to decide if she should or should not start something with Matt Riggs. Much as she likes him, Josie has never been able to trust men - other than Pops and Dodd, her best friend's Liz parents, who help fill up the parental figures. Worse, as Josie and Matt's relationship progresses as does Kate and Johnathan's, mother and daughter keep fighting over just about everything, something that feels completely alien to both of them... Second Glance: The easiest way to describe For Keeps is as a mixture of Gilmore Girls and Marchetta's Looking for Alibrandi, yet, somehow, this story is not as good as either of those. It is a nice enough read, and for the most part is fun. I particularly liked best friend Liz and her parents and brother, who seem like such a happy family. But I did find both Kate and Josie tiresome at times, and the later part of the book - the big explanation for Paul Tucci's absence from Josie's life - a bit contrite. On the other hand, I did like reading about Josie and Kate together, their mother-daughter relationship ringing true most of the time. My biggest problem with the book is that I sort of felt like it ended in nothing, which always annoys me a little. Bottom Line: A quick, at times funny, read, a bit average but good enough to pass the time. Favorite Quote: "...we all have our peccadilloes, our irrational fears: the fear of falling too hard, or of not never falling at all; the fear of screwing up, or of getting screwed; the fear of being held too tight, or of not knowing when to let go."

I loved this new take on angels! It really surprised me, and yet it did not.
