I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Virginin eBook edition on August 5, 2014 and has 304 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo Virgin is chick lit for a New Adult audience and revolves around Ellie Kolstakis who, shhhh, still has her V-card. Oh. My. God. My thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for providing this ARC for me to read. My Take I found this an odd combination of silly, embarrassing, and practical. What I greatly disliked is the melodrama. Oh. My. God. But then that is what teens are all about, the melodrama. Although, at 21, I would have expected that Ellie would be beyond this level of it..

My Take Well, this is definitely an interesting twist: murdered hikers left in their favorite milieu. I’m with Walker. Just because Joanne and Billy haven’t found anything yet, doesn’t mean they aren’t worth calling in. After all, forensics hasn’t found anything either and no one questions calling them. I do sympathize with Morrison. This magical stuff is not the stuff of police reports, lol. At least Billy could hide his supernatural talents, unlike Jo’s more obvious moves. It doesn’t help that Jo reminds Morrison that the killings are starting to look like what the Bragg twins were doing in Coyote Dreams, 3. I also agree with Joanne when she wonders why nasty is always so much more […]
