now i am hooked. This was such a great, easy and creative book. i was hooked after the first page.

The characters were easy to fall in love with and follow, along with the story. the author made the mental visions so easy and vivid of the surroundings and the characters actions felt so real.

i would highly recommend this author and this book.

Evelise's Review:

Every time I read a Cardeno C. book, I am left teary-eyed, smiling and utterly fulfilled. In Your Eyes lived up to everything that I hoped, as another book in the Mate series. Samuel, next in line to the Yafenack pack, was book smart and driven, yet slightly clueless to the ways of mated love. Korban, son of the neighboring pack alpha, knew from the time he was a child, Samuel was his destined mate. Unable to act upon his young feelings for the boy, Korban was forced to maintain their friendship every few years at pack gatherings. Read More. . . http://www.darkdivasreviews.com/in-yo...

H-9 said it was the best one yet.

It was a wonderful, action filled book! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I found it very hard to put down. Now I can't wait to read the books from Robert Louis Stevenson.

3.5
Good adaptation: gets the bones of the story
Probably enjoyable for young children
Not much time spent on ship

These are great beginner chapter books for young readers and perfect introductions to some classic literature.

First Date: Okay, this could be a really hot date! I enjoyed the introduction to this new world of Chloe Neill's, filled with fae and plenty of other paranormal critters, and set in the sultry city of New Orleans. While it wasn't the fastest-paced beginning (hey, not a bad thing when it goes slow at the beginning. Anticipation is all part of the tease.), I really got into Claire's life in a post-apocalyptic New Orleans. It wasn't as hard-hitting a beginning as the Chicagoland Vamp series (hard to top an attack and being turned into a vamp right off the bat) but Neill's writing talent shines and whispers sweet promises in my ears.

Second Date: I'm a sucker for a Southern story, especially one filled with magic (or, in this case, hidden magic, as anything magic-related is illegal in this post-fae-invasion world). And Claire, I really liked her, too. She's just a girl, doing her thing the best she can with what she's got. Except she's got more than she reveals. There are layers to her, man. Magical layers. Magical layers she doesn't want anyone to know about or she'll wind up incarcerated on Devil's Isle with the rest of the paranormals and people with even a hint of magic. It's not a pretty place. Hard to whisper sweet promises when you don't have enough to eat.

Third Date: Yeah, I had a couple of quibbles but, you know what? I had a good enough time with this book that I'm not even going to fuss about it. This book bought me drinks and showed me a good time. I'm not bitchin'. Not even Claire's exponentially fast learning of her powers. (Hey, she's a protégée. It happens.) Or all the super-hot guys (I mean, who in their right mind complains when surrounded by such brawn and abs? Not I.). I am hoping that there's a smidge more romance in the next story but yay for a new urban fantasy series! (I've heard rumblings that publishers think there's too much UF out there or not enough demand but I say, "No! Bring it on!")

This book is about a boy and his parents that own an inn, one day, a weird person comes in and live in the inn for a day and was talking loudly to another person. Later on the boy discovered that these weren't regular men, they were actually pirates and they were looking for a treasure map that their captain had. The boy started to look for the map because his family was really poor, with the luck he had he found it in the pirate's room. The boy knows he need to keep it a secret until he knows its safe from the pirates. So he went by himself to find the treasures. He went to the port and hired a crew and a captain with a ship to look for the treasure. When the ship was almost at the location of the treasure island, he discovered that some of the crew were pirates and was going to betray the boy and take the treasure. What will happen next read the book to find out.

Another great read aloud with my boys.

There is a great reason why this book is a classic. Although entertaining the Disney movie does not do jutice to the complexities of Long John Silver that can only be found in the written version. Anyone could enjoy this complex adventure for treasure.

Treasure Island is about a little boy who works at an inn. He seems to have a normal life until a sailor comes in with a big chest. Little did jim know that this chest contain the map to the greatest treasure of all. But to get to this treasure he must make untrustworthy alliances and find his way througb treasure Island, A mystery island where Captain Flint supposibly buried his treasure. This book has many plot twist and will keep you wondering the whole read through. I would recommend this book for people who need a little more adventure in their lives. After reading I now see why this book is such a great classic!
