Ah, Penn Scully.
It is well know that LJ Shen is my unicorn author, like Katy Evans. I love Both of these authors, though not every book they suit me. When I saw the cover of "Pretty Reckless" my reaction had the opportunity to see on Facebook, and the book reached immediately, as soon as it appeared. After Hotholes long waited for the All Saints High and finally the story of Daria and Penn hit my hands.
But before I begin, I have to warn you about heroes. In Poland, it was not released short story "Defy", which tells the story of Jamie and Melody, and here is what these heroes are the parents of our main character, that is, Daria. If anyone of you not read "Defy" and gives advice in English or less is recommended to reach for this short short story before you start "Pretty Reckless". Personally, I look forward to change your mind at the publishing house Edipresse, as recently, when asked about the "Defy", which supported the argument "make up the whole story," I received a reply that reflect on this, although it does not provide for issue in this part of our language. A pity. I hope that this will also change.
Daria Followhill has everything you could have a girl who is the daughter of one of the combined business. The girl is a cheerleader, is shopping at designers, and the whole world is at her feet and is just waiting for its request.
However, it was not always so. Daria when she was fourteen, her mother Melody passionately wanted to wake up the girl in love for ballet. By the way, arousing jealousy in it, favoring another participant in her lessons. One day, Daria received a letter that was not addressed to her, but the girl and so she opened it and found out that Sylvia called Via briefly got into the Royal Academy of Ballet. Daria went bad after the lemonade is not giving anyone the letter and there met a boy who took care of her time-paper, tearing and throwing it into the trash. And then asking that all this remains his first times for him.
Thus Daria met Penn, who four years later turned out to be its greatest enemy.
Worse ... living under one roof.
The girl had to fight for position with their parents, although her father was always supportive of her, not necessarily mother.
Penn Scully turned out to be not only the enemy, but also the guy who took as he promised her all the first times that he left.
How I was fucking with this book I am the only I know!
Leigh Shen once again spread me on the shoulders of your story!
"Pretty Reckless" beyond my wildest expectations!
It was worth the wait for the first part of the "All Saints High"!
Although ... now I'm waiting for "Angry God," which tells the story of Vaughn, who is the son Vicious and Millie.
Ah ... the waiting.
I hate this.
Why do I mention reading "Defy" at the very beginning? Well ... in the "Pretty Reckless" We have parents Daria - Melody and Jamie, who are on the agenda, as Daria is still in high school. Not knowing their short stories, you will not embrace the end of what's going on, and above all, do not notice the difference between the behavior of Melody. When "Defy" cheered her with all my heart, as in "Pretty Reckless" I hated it effectively, for how behaved towards his own daughter by birth. Bitch, what little! Hate took me while reading this, and fortunately, that Leigh given up almost to the end and did not change the relationship with the daughter of a mother who calls her by name. Mel, I liked you. Now you do not suffer.
Jamie Followhill turned out to be a wonderful father, who is a support for their daughters and sees his wife's behavior towards the oldest of them. Jamie, who is not suspected on the state of the wall Daria, turned out to be a trustworthy confidant of secrets and a man who has gained in my eyes. Although as HotHoles does not belong to my favorites and so it ranks high. It's really great!
Daria beginning with a slightly irritated me. It was a typical princess. But later, when the action began to develop, the girl turned out to be a hard art that although many of the logs under your feet can fight for her. I love a heroine, because Daria quickly became my favorite.
Penn ... well ... all in all I like it, but this is not the end. Apparently all that showed was a rational sense, but in itself does not suit me. Of course, I cheered them from the beginning, but if I had to choose it (surprisingly!) Daria is better for me.
Of course, while reading we can meet other heroes. Vaughn appears and Knight, who is strangely close with Luna. In addition, we know little sister Daria - Bailey. But really, my eyes focused harder when I saw the word in the text of "Vicious". What do I help it if my husband from Leigh on par with Wolfe Keaton of " The Kiss Thief" ?
Returning to the "Pretty Reckless" Leigh Shen showed that can surprise. From the first pages got me into the world of Daria and suffered every time when I had to put the reader. Moreover, to the end it was not really clear, as will happen to the characters.
"Pretty Reckless" is a book, which I recommend to anyone who likes and does not like Leigh Shen. It seems to me it's one of the better books I have written, but here the opinion may be divided. In any case, if you read "Saint of Sinners" and really like those heroes is here you will feel like a fish in water. I would recommend!
