  1. I don't usually read reviews, but in this case I have to agree. I love this series and I can't wait to see what Lydia does next.

  2. I am a total impulse buyer. I tend to check out reviews after I've read a book and see if reviewers felt the same way I did. However, when I'm trolling around review sites, i often find books that I have to go out and buy becuase the review sold me on the story.
