This is cute series that tends to have some cheesy humor that I can either look past, or laugh along with. This one however was a bit too cheesy. From the fairies names, to the simple jokes and converstaions, this book just didn't work for me. Still, I'm excited for the next book that we will read from Sunny's PoV, so hopefully it will be better.

Also, I feel the author could've done better with Fairyland, creating her own vision of it instead of saying it was like Disney World.stronggirlreads's review

At first I didn't really like the book because it was Rayne again and the whole fairy thing was kind of pissing me off. However towards the end I really was enjoying it and I can't wait for the next book! Plus yay for Sunny!

The only thing I disliked about this book is that Rayne was narrating it. Sunny is my favorite and was more interested in her story.

There were a lot of twists and turns in this book that I did not expect to have occur. However I feel there was a lot of buildup which was really good and then the ending was slightly rushed like it needed to be tied up in a nice neat bow. Still a good book.

Okay. Just when I thought this series could not get more irreverent or hilarious, I am proven wrong! What is better than Bertha the Vampire Slayer? Tinkerbitch of course!

I'm looking forward to write my review! *_*
Because I'm burning inside.
Woah, I really like the serie but let be honest!!!
The book is stupid! Nothing is matching together.
The author should think about her writing skills sometimes...
How can I mix the twilight saga and true blood? If I Am not wrong New Moon --> 2006 and true blood as tv serie should be aired around 2008? So...can't be that the both girls are 17 ...How she mixed everything buffy , true blood, twilight saga they would be around 19~21!
But ok! Thats not much what I point out negative in the book...
At first I truly HATE FAIRIES ! They are the worst fantasy character ever. So everything what I write now is just my subjective opinion!
While reading I thought why...are the guys away? Both sister together is awful..Terrible...So boring to read !
After the two guys are back in the story the whole story went mhm funnier?
But still I hate fairies they're so stupid ...and dumb and...I hate dumb stuff.
So the author underlined my hate, because she descriped them as dumb as I was expecting them to be...awful....
Also how can their Mom not know that her children boyfriends are vampire?
She is a damn fairy...To my opinion if my mum would that be stupid I wouldn't trust her my life in her hands and would stay at a school like this....!
So back to the sister ...truly they are often not like there character should be...often they are so immature that its not realstic how mature they are sometimes. I started to laugh when Rainey cared of colbin ( was that his name? I remember names badly) like as he would be child...To be honest she is more like the true child.
Also the boyfriends are so stupid if I would be over thousandth years old I would not trust an immature 17 year old girl.
I would have killed Colbin , because what is his use? Or maybe they could have blackmailed him...No, they let it end how the end is going to be ( in my opinion really unrealistic how the story went ) ...but Margnus told Rainey they going to kill him if he wants to stake someone but he is angry that Rainey bites him after he nearly killed Rainey and because of the fight he was full of blood?! Sorry, I don't think Rainey needs rehab I think the author need realstic thinking or maybe she should remember what she wrote some pages before. Truly I gave the other books REALLY good ratings and I criticized less!
For me I knew that the blood coven serie wouldn't be perfect and I haven't aspected much. I knew I was not reading one of the best books in the world. But to be honest everyone can let the story be a bit realstic. I don't want much realstic, because its still a fantasy book. But even if its a fantasy book no one can write a fantasy book without realistic moments. So Magnus should have scolded Jareth that he turned him, because as he said the guy is going to be killed if he wants to kill some vampire. Or both are vampires and if I remember right Colbind has various cuts so how should Rainey have resists if its her nature? It's not that she just was hungry and take a bite...
Thats why I only gave 2 starts.
My first intention was to give 3,but to be honest I haven't liked the stupid idea of story in the book or I've liked how the author described the characters of the book.
Truly I gave two stars, because at the end the book was quite funny and I always thought Tinkerbell is a bitch when I was young.
So is there still anything to say? I hope that the six book lets me feel better...besides I think book 8 is going to have only one star, because as I wrote in my first review of the serie I hate if problems are delayed in a book, because at the end the problems are coming back and everything is going to be unrealistic. Also without to solve the problems a happy ending would be impossible, so nerve-wracking the problem is coming back and every reader thinks:'' why I read book 2 until 7 ? 1 and 8 would have been enough!'' .
End....Sorry for my harsh review...Just my opinion and every fairy lover sorry too but I never liked fairies...

Night School is another hit by Mari Mancusi that will leave you hooked and breathless.
So we've seen vampires, and we've seen lycan...but can you believe that Mari Mancusi added in another magical creature? Yup. She did! Fairies! When I initially read these books when they came out, I'll admit I didn't like the fairies that were added. But now, as an adult who constantly sees giant film and book universes I understand the need for such an addition - and it does, oddly, work!! I think it's a cute addition, and I would like to see Mari build more into these ideas in future installments.
Rayne is our lead in this book, and her sassiness is there (as always). And, as always, this book is fast paced and kept me interested. Plus, on top of it all, Mari tops her plot lines and goes a little crazier. She always seems to know how to go bigger and better.
One thing I really like about these books is Mari seems to understand that it can be lengthy between the times you read her books - so she summarizes what happened last. In the first couple books it annoyed me (because I was reading them back to back) but when I realized that there is typically a wait in between and you might forget what our heroines were up to, then I was all on board! If this is something you don't like, you can always skip!! But I think this is a nice addition that'll help readers out.
I did have an issue with this book - we've grown to love Jareth and Magnus so much, and they weren't in this book as much as I would like. Yes, they weren't integral to the story but it was a shame to pick up this book and not have some epic storylines with them. They were still there, but not as much as they could have been.
Five out of five stars.
