Book Title: Chosen Author: Angela Cornell Recommended: 14+ Reviewed By: Maegan Morin Blog Reviewed For: Great Minds Think Aloud Rating: 3 Ravens
Maddie is 17 years old and she and her parents are moving to Elmwood in Northwest Arkansas. Having always been picked on her whole life Maddie is looking forward to a new school with new bullies. The thing is Maddie knows that she is different. Being part human, vampire and elven she always did feel out of place but as she will soon find out what you don't know that might be the real problem.
Chosen was written by Angela Cornell and is the first book in the Magnolia Vampire series. I like the IDEA of this book. I enjoyed the fact that supernatural races could have children (even vamps) and that the blood lines could be mixed. That added a freshness to the story. I also liked the detailed character information and history of the races. Unfortunately that is all I liked. I had a really hard time reading this book because though there was a lot of information absolutely nothing happened in the story. The author also had a tendency to jump back and forth from present tense to past tense which made it really hard to read as well. The love story was very "twilight" and I couldn't help but thinking, been there done that, the whole time I read it. The ending was very anti climatic, nothing happened in the rest of the book so I wasn't really surprised.
I give this book 3 Ravens and I don't think that I will continue to read this series.
