I am quickly falling in love with Shivener's writing style. She is unique, witty, and refreshing. I had no idea what I was getting into when I cracked open Bad Seed, and I was pleasantly surprised. A delightfully original romance without all the mushy stuff.
It took me a while to step in line with October, but that is because she is unlike anyone else. I am not a big romance reader because they are all so predictable and typically end in the same way. However, I was glued to this one till the very last page because October gives you the impression that things are not as they seem. She is all over the place as she tries to find her place in a world she does not belong. You will root for her one minute and roll your eyes at her the next. This is a fun, wild ride that you do not want to miss.
