I have found a new favorite author. Between A Charmed Life and There You'll Find Me, Jenny B. Jones has demonstrated a style I could read all day.

On page one, Bella is introduced as a teen who leaps without fully understanding or caring about the depth of her actions.

I enjoyed not knowing how the books would end by the middle of each book.

Also, I really enjoyed the Bulwer-Lytton turns of phrase that are littered throughout the trilogy.
Some favorites: "...leaving me with a feeling as unsettling as brown guacamole" and "My breakfast jumps on my stomach like a trampoline."

Finally, I enjoyed the way that nobody had coupled up by the end of the first book of the trilogy, leaving plenty of room for relationship growth over all 3 books.

I lked the mysteries in the series,but it had way way to much kissing between two of the characters.

The first two books in this were alright but the third was downright outrageous and extremely boring.

This book is so cute and unique. It has its own style, for sure.
Bella is so much fun and rather crazy. It was fun being in her head!
And as soon as she described Luke as looking like 'that Clark Kent guy from Smallville,' let's just say I was sold.
This book is so crazy. Literally things come out of nowhere, and it made me laugh and always kept me guessing. It got to the point where I wasn't surprised by anything anymore, ha! So much fun.
I like how each book was unique, even though they all dealt with mysteries, they were all soo different it kept me pulled in and reading.
Wonderful.
