Changes

Both books are fairly similar in tone and subject, just like the pair in the first Dark Secrets compilation – you certainly know what you're getting when you read an Elizabeth Chandler story. That's by no means a criticism, she consistently delivers at a much higher standard than usual for the genre. I love the strong heroines and the relationships between them and the boys they fall for, and her villains are fairly well-rounded characters, although I do think the ending to the first of the two books is a little bit melodramatic. Still, that's small criticism of a pair of stories which are thoroughly enjoyable, extremely easy to read, and certain to have teens following eagerly.

Further reading: Spoilt for choice as normal when it comes to recommending supernatural teen fiction, but I think I'll suggest that many people who enjoy this would love LJ Smith's [[Forbidden Game by L J Smith|Forbidden Game]] trilogy.
