Here's the link for my review!


Cassandra Giovanni | 119 comments I'll get some copies out to all that commented, but sadly there's none left! I can't wait to see the discussions!

Here's the link for my review!"

:) I'm glad you enjoyed it! I can pretty solidly say that there won't be a sequel, but in my mind they have children and get old together, marrying only a few years after she graduates. She becomes a teacher as well!

BUT if you're yearning for more I'm running a feature on my blog called Deleted December all month. Every Wednesday I post a deleted scene or chapter from WITS. The first one is already up!

I also have another novel out as well, but the style is a little different than this one.


Cassandra Giovanni | 119 comments I sent everyone their copies that I knew the formats, and send emails to those that I needed their ebook format request! :D

message 20: by J (new) - added it

J (jjtanner) I'd love to read/review a copy if any are left available.

My email is jwing51311@gmail and I'd prefer PDF but i can use e pub too.

Sorry in responding so late. I've had a hectic time this holiday season (my maternal grandmother passed the day after Thanksgiving and my twins 5th birthday was the following week). I hope I am able to give feedback. Thanks again for the opportunity.

I'm wondering if Vera is supposed to look much older than her 17 years or if tad is the one that looks young..."


Tad's actually only 23 as well, so they are both young. I was at a fair last night selling books and 7 people asked my age and told me I looked 16!! I don't think Tad looks younger than his age per say.


Cassandra Giovanni | 119 comments Britt and J, sorry there's no copies left, but if you're a part of the Young Ault Reads club there's an R2R over there with 4 copies left (http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...)

George is lovely. He's the kind that can put anyone at ease! Very affable.
Way beyond it btw. You're gonna enjoy the next few pages!!! :)

Haha, I forgot his age! Go me! She's 18 now, so she's not a minor...

I adored writing George--it was a great way to show my sense of humor and why Tad was so wonderful.
Twilight, honestly-- not so much. I read the whole Saga and have seen all the movies. I started writing again shortly after I read the first book, so I feel like I owe credit to Meyer there, but I'm honestly not a fan.


Nagwa Kureshi (NagwaKureshi) | 43 comments Martha wrote: "Agreed Nagwa! Certainly wouldn't mind having an in law like him.
Where are you Nagwa? I'm 50% through."


*Drumroll!! At 89.6% :D :D

Sorry did not reply sooner. Was updating my blog!

Lisa Thank you for my copy. @J I am so sorry for your loss. I'll start reading and commenting soon, I'm looking forword to it.

Lisa Oh and J, I have a set of twins too. They keep you busy, not they :-)

So, what did you feel about the ex in comparison to Tad?
How are you liking Jaz, or not?


message 34: by Dale (new) - rated it 3 stars

Dale Ibitz (goodreadscomdale_ibitz) I've just started so don't know much about these characters yet.


Julie | 123 comments Just started reading this last night... it’s moving along fairly quickly. I actually love all the characters so far. By all I mean, Vera and Tad lol don't know enough about Jaz yet but she seems nice. I’m a little past the part where Vera and Tad are talking at the church. Tear... felt for Vera when Tad couldn’t run after her after she confided in him.

That was a great scene to write! I used it as the basis for the trailer for the novel...pictures of a moping, hot teacher type (meaning I made him wear a tie!)...aka my husband ;)

Muahaha...indeed. Funny thing, when I started writing it I hated Jaz. I wanted her to be a bad character...I guess we will see if I followed that through...


Cassandra Giovanni | 119 comments Martha wrote: "Yayyy I'm glad for Vera and Tad now!
Risky but whatever life is no fun without risks!"

I wonder at what part you're at...I think I know of what you speak. I added that scene after a beta reader said that the relationship didn't come off as risky enough...


Cassandra Giovanni | 119 comments Martha wrote: "I just went and watched the trailer!!

I kinda hated her at first too but now I'm just suspicious of her. Randomly going up to Vera and wanting to be friends. *narrows eyes in suspicion*"


What did you think of the trailer?

Especially because Vera is so shy and Jaz is basically the opposite...hormone driven teen. It makes her pretty amusing at times though.
"Mhmm...Knightley"


Julie | 123 comments Martha wrote: "I liked it.

Exactly. I can't she hasn't figured out about Tad yet! I mean she stays after class pretty much everyday to talk to him and the way they look at each other!
The tattoo!"


I was thinking the same thing... thought she might put it all together during the poetry assignment.


Julie | 123 comments Cassandra wrote: "Julie wrote: "Just started reading this last night... it’s moving along fairly quickly. I actually love all the characters so far. By all I mean, Vera and Tad lol don't know enough about Jaz yet ..."

Just watched the trailer... nice!


Cassandra Giovanni | 119 comments Yup, the tattoo almost sent Vera over the edge! It gets better with the tattoo and Jaz's commentary. Jaz is really kind of, well, distracted and oblivious! Lol


Julie | 123 comments Ok, so far... I'm almost done with the book! Loving how easily it flows. Just to back track a bit, I loved George! He is a riot, laughed out loud during the Thanksgiving dinner. Jaz is not so bad... a bit annoying at times with the pinky promises and such. I thought it was a bit suspect that she instantly befriended Vera but can't see her having any part in the murders. OK, one person I cannot stand is Jennings, that teacher is a freak lol I would have gladly slapped her a few times for Vera. I think I may dislike her even more than mean girl Lily. The ex-boyfriend is a bit of a jerk… any who… I need to know who this read headed chic is asap!!


Julie | 123 comments I have about 40 pages left :)


message 45: by Evil (new) - rated it 5 stars

Evil (evilqueen22) I really like this book!!!! I love Vera's character and Tad makes me laugh!


Cassandra Giovanni | 119 comments Ah, Jennings--yes, there's always one teachers who is a winner at high school!


Nagwa Kureshi (NagwaKureshi) | 43 comments Almost done! should finish it on my way back home. The review will be up in a day or two... got a few assignments to complete. :\
Is that all right??

However you see her!
I'd say 5"4 brunette, skinny but with curves. She totally rocks skinny jeans because she's not too curvy. I'm thinking Ashley Greene -ish when she has long hair (not Alice like at all).
