![]() ![]() She’s self aware and keeps referencing well known pop culture and literature. Paradise? I guess they aren’t weird, so much as rarely used as names. The twists and turns of the plot would play out so much more satisfactorily for me if we find this out when Pearl does, not before.Īlso, what’s with the strange names? Cardy? Disey? Shad? Yeah, okay, they turn out to be nicknames, but even the names from which they originate are weird. She doesn’t know which of the four Valentine kids is the Seelie. The story is only from Pearl’s perspective. If the information is also on the final copy, I will be disappointed. ![]() The blurb on my ARC gives away too much of the plot. I have quibbles, which I want to get out of the way first. The themes of her debut novel aren’t original-we’ve read about the Seelie before-but the delivery of them is appealing and fast-paced. I don’t know anything about Jodi McAlister, but I am sure she will be embraced by the LoveOzYA community and we will get to know more. ![]() Valentine is a fresh Australian voice in paranormal YA.
