Baggott does attempt to explain how the fusions work; it's something to do with nanoparticles being packaged in with the Detonation mechanism that speeds growth and recovery, and so the nanoparticles assisted human recovery with whatever was there. But that struck me as more "science magic" than actual science, so it made it hard to accept.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299582389666651509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53054509566175714.post-37060247135127525662014-04-01T14:00:34.797-07:002014-04-01T14:00:34.797-07:00Sounds like no love triangle so that's a posit...Sounds like no love triangle so that's a positive? I'm with you, though, I can take genetic engineering as in The Hunger Games but the doll's head thing would kind of weird me out. One at least attempts to use science - the other thing sounds like it's fantasy in sci-fi ... the genres don't have to be kept separately, but if everything else in your world is more fact based, then magic shouldn't show up.Jen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190007840481900873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53054509566175714.post-40955970300025436352014-02-26T18:13:41.286-08:002014-02-26T18:13:41.286-08:00Awesome!

But even in the cheesy paranormal genre there are others that are legitimately way better and more fun. I think fun is the key -- the first book here started out kind of funny and irreverent. The later books lost the balance and relied too much on Rose's sarcasm, which just became irritating toward the end because she's not as clever as she (and the author) think she is.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299582389666651509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53054509566175714.post-20124253168151622632014-02-21T08:58:55.278-08:002014-02-21T08:58:55.278-08:00lol - man, some of your book reviews are fucking h...lol - man, some of your book reviews are fucking hilarious (and best use of a GIF ever).
