3.0 out of 5 stars Good story but confilcting information, July 23, 2007

I read the book and enjoyed it. However the one thing that bothered me about the book, is that it seemed as if the authors focused only on the plot of this book and not on the information that they put into their first book, in areas where the subject matter overlapped.
Both of Chantel's parents were dead and all she had left, come graduation, was a step-mother. The Exiles: Chantel (The Creoles, Book 1) So how was she visiting with her parents at graduation?
I know this seems like a small matter, and it doesn't really affect the plot of this story. But if someone is going to write a series I would appreciate it if they took the time to make sure that the books didn't conflict each other.

This review is from: The Immortelles (The Creoles Series, 2) (Paperback)

one thing that bugged the heck out of me in this book was that while Rissa has agreed to be known as the daughter of the doctor and Jefferson is the adopted son of the doctor, therefore making them brother and sister, Rissa, contiunally throughout the book, refuses to acknowledge this and gets mad everytime Jefferson brings it up. i don't care that she was falling in love with him (which is rather icky when adopted siblings fall in love with in other in any case), he is still her brother if the father ADOPTED HIM and is her BIRTH FATHER. it was very annoying.

i preferred the Cheney Duvall Series over this series. and why does it say this book is by Morris, Gilbert & J. Landon Ferguson? the picture clearly shows it's Gilbert and Lynn Morris.
