Swords & Stilettos by Kristin D. Van Risseghem
4.0
I liked this book. It was quite interesting and almost educational about the mystical world around me that I am, sadly, not a part of. Yet anyway. This book was all about paranormal creatures like angels, nephilim, fairies, and werewolves. I find all that stuff very interesting. Which made this a good book to me. The only thing I don't like about this book is how the girl still wants to live a normal life even though her life is pretty normal. She goes to school, shopping, hangs out with friends, and has trouble with the 'mean kids' at school. How much more of a cliche high school life can you get? It seems unnecessary for her to want that if she mostly already has it. I compare this book a little bit to Shadowhunters, by Cassandra Clare. That book also has most of the paranormal creatures found here as well. I try not to compare, but its hard when those are the only two books that I know to have nephilim in them. While this book seems fantasy with its nature, it is as much a romance. There is a lot of kissing and lovey dovey stuff with the main character and her boyfriend. I am ok with that. I don't always like the romance, but this amount was well balanced with the action and fights that occasionally took place. I hope to have more action in the next books of this series. I am not too exited about reading them and I know if I start to not like the series I will abandon it. However, it is defiantly worth giving a shot. While I might not like it too much, you might love it.
