Even the super popular pretty girl is secretly jealous of Riley's looks.

I was able to compel myself NOT to request it purely because of that cover.

I picked it up to read about shooting angels in the face, and that didn't happen all that much." Lol, I requested this for review because the author is a Canadian and thought there'd be a lot of shooting angels too. I still like the sound of this one, Small, even if things are revealed through info dumps. <br />A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-33230304827374388152013-07-21T13:15:45.383-04:002013-07-21T13:15:45.383-04:00That the mythology was delivered in info-dumps and...That the mythology was delivered in info-dumps and still wasn't developed doesn't bode well.

I think people who like Twilight would like this, but I can see people who dislike Twilight liking Outcast still. I think it all depends on why you dislike Twilight. I haven't read The Friday Society, so I'm no help there.
