Product Description

Two girls find suddenly find themselves not so ordinary...

Caitlin and Leah are content with the slow and steady pace in their small Texan town. They have the typical challenges of any American High School- evil girl cliques and oppressive ex-boyfriends. They see themselves as painfully ordinary...but that soon changes.

The arrival of two newcomers at school sets Caitlin and Leah on an explosive path of magic, betrayal, secrets and forbidden love. The discovery of Caitlin's true identity causes tremendous upheaval in her painfully ordinary life. Caitlin must learn to embrace her birthright and trust in her friends or she risks endangering them all.

Caitlin thinks she is "painfully ordinary" (geddit?), but we know she will turn out to be a fairy princess, and sure enough the familiar story unfolds. It is well written, the characters are likeable, the high school background is suitably realistic, the fey elements are suitably mysterious, and I settle down to enjoy the yarn. The plot unfolds, the action is convincing, the romance gets going, more on the romance, hey I like starry eyed lovers as much as anyone but this is just getting mushy .....
and that's it.
Last page. All over.
What?

What happened to the ... ? And what about the ...? And who ....? What about the rest of the story, the well developed, interesting, unfolding tale that we were all following? Sure, the girl gets the boy, but we all knew that was going to happen from page three.

Ah, I know. It's one of those irritating serial jobs, where you have to buy volumes two through to seven to get the whole saga.
Nope.
It's the only one. That's all we get.

This book is utterly brilliant! As soon as I read the first page I fell in love with the book! The characters are so real, and I feel like I really understand them! This book is outstandingly written and I loved every second of reading it! I know for a fact 1 or 2 more books are on the way, so please do not make random guesses unless you have proof! But I can tell this series is going to be amazing, the magical romance unwinds and more dangerous creatures and I just can't wait and hope the other books come out soon! :D

Love, Bonfires, Magic, and Secrets... 22 May 2011
By Gigi Marie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
In her debut novel, Painfully Ordinary, Stephanie Amox conjures up an enchanting tale with fascinating characters who will hook, exasperate, and entertain all readers of the supernatural world. When seventeen-year-old Caitlin drags herself out of bed and gets ready for school, she believes that she is about to begin another ordinary day in her painfully ordinary life. On the contrary, today Caitlin's life is about to switch from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Leah, Caitlin's best friend, is bursting with news. It seems the school has two new transfer students: Talon Raikaa and Jace Adair. No one knows where Talon and Jace come from. Caitlin and Leah soon discover that the gorgeous mystery boys are in the same classes -- is it a coincidence? Hmmm... nothing just happens. Immediately, Talon is drawn to Caitlin, Jace is drawn to Leah, and the attraction is mutual. Their relationships quickly deepen. In addition, the bonds grow stronger by the minute. Later, at a bonfire gathering a crisis occurs where evil reveals itself and an attempt is made on Caitlin's life. Talon and Jace act quickly to remove the girls from the situation; however, the dark powers have no intention of ever giving up on Caitlin.

Painfully Ordinary is told from Caitlin's perspective. The story flows smoothly and the dialogue is easy to read. There are a few scenes that could benefit from a bit of editing polish, but they do not detract from the story in the least. I believe Miss Amox did a tremendous job in creating relatable characters, developing good plot lines and unexpected twists. Each trial is accompanied by fascinating puzzles for the reader to solve along with the heroines, Caitlin and Leah, and their fearless protectors, Talon and Jace.

This intriguing novel includes a lot of material of interest: friendship, romance, betrayal, danger, fun, mystery, magic, etc., all cleverly interwoven in a tale where our main character, Caitlin, must embrace her birthright and trust her friends or she will risk losing them all.
I would highly recommend this book to those who would love to read a new take on the fae, vampire, and shape shifter lore. I can't wait to see what Miss Amox has in store for book 2, Family Secrets. I'm sure it will not disappoint!

Talon is a Carpathian 27 Jun 2011
By Rania Melhem - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I will admit that I am an adult and I love Christine Feehan's Dark Series. And Talon is a Carpathian, every thing that makes him a Varyo is what makes Christine Feehan's Carpathians with a few exceptions. Also, the names Talon and Sanctuary are straight out Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. I guess the author never thought that people who read adult pnrs would be reading her book.
Sorry, but this book doesn't have an original thought in it.
If I could I would give it 0 stars for plagiarism.
Great Love Story with a Hint of Angst! 20 Jan 2012

This story will keep you turning the pages from beginning to end. Great series beginning that leaves future stories wide open with possibility instead of predictable progression.
