However, I'm hearing wonderful things about Shadowland and I really want to read it - so, what better place to start than the first in the series? It's just something I absolutely have to do - if I start a series, I start from the very beginning.
Thanks to my friend, I got a little hooked on the Harper Connelly Mysteries series by Charlaine Harris.
I still picked it up, but I didn't get around to it until now. The cover attracted me and I had heard a lot of things about it, but nothing overly great. I figured I could still do paranormal, but I needed to expand my horizons. This is one of those books that I got a while back in order to get over my vampire obsession. until she found out that Damen is an immortal, and Drina's trying to kill her in order to get Damen back. Damen has taken an interest in Ever - but who is this new girl, Drina, that she's seen him out with? And why is this new girl trying to take her best friend away from her? Ever didn't think it could get any worse. Anytime Damen touched her, all she heard was silence. She's already heard about him, but she avoided eye contact with him when he sat beside of her in class. She used to be popular at her old school and now - armed with her iPod on full blast to drown out the thoughts and hooded sweatshirts to conceal her mp3 player - she's considered a freak, only finding solace in her attention-craved, now goth, friend Haven and token gay friend Miles. She can see auras, read people with just a touch and, worse of all, she hears everyone's thoughts. Not only does she have to start her life over in a new place, but she seems to have received psychic powers from her near-death experience. However, Ever would give it all back to have her family back. Ever, now orphaned, is taken in by her father's twin sister - who is a lawyer and immediately gives Ever all that she could need to make herself feel more at home - tv, jacuzzi, stereo, the works. Unfortunately, Riley didn't actually cross over like the rest of her family (save Ever), so now she spends most of her time around Ever, or catching up on old neighbors and their gossip. Ever (original name, no?) survives a tragic accident that claims the lives of her father, mother, pet dog and twelve-year old sister, Riley.
