Kathryn Smith's new take on vampire legend was very smart, unique and...

However, I read the book before they did just to see what it was about, and I am so very glad I did! At the end I was just crying, but in such a good way.I don't...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Unlike the other reviewers, I had no problems putting this book from time to time. In fact, on its own I would probably only give this two or three stars except for the difficulty the author must have had in imagining the pre-mortal life. He does start the book off with a warning that this is not doctrine...

He does not tell you what to think as much as he tells you want he thinks and then challenges you to react, to think, to imagine. Great story on steady eddie v. reckless erica and how playing it safe is the least safe thing...

From the moment I read "Once and Always" by JM, I was in complete and utter awe at her talent; I couldn't seem to get enough of her work! "Almost Heaven", however, is without a doubt my favorite one of them all....
