The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza by Shaun David Hutchinson

4.0

Wow, I loved The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza! I was NOT expecting to enjoy it at all. Why? Because the first book that I read by Shaun David Hutchinson was fml, which I did not finish. (Normally my DNFs get one star. Fml got zero.) So I thought Hutchinson's books just weren't for me.

Well my work friends LOVED We Are the Ants, but I stubbornly refused to read it. Elena Mendoza sounded like my style, so I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad that I did. There was fantasy, action, mystery and just the right amount of romance. Perfect! With this type of story, it would be really difficult to have everything fall apart at the end of the book, but I liked it just as much as the rest of the story. It was a good solution to Elena's conundrum. Because I liked this book so much, I'm going to give Hutchinson's other books a chance.
