LOVE this book and the first one (will this be a series?). The zodiac and horoscope info is fascinating and enlightening! Ate it up. Wish there were more!

Logan is attending the writing seminar with famed author Henry Jaffa. She's excited to show him her work and see if he'll agree to be her mentor. Her plan hits a snag when instead of writing their own topics, they're required to write someone else's topic.

Now, Logan must write about local singer Sean Baylor - a singer in the sixties who mysteriously died one night. She's not interested in writing about him, but grits her teeth and determines to write the best paper possible. However, her classmates aren't as agreeable.

Her new crush, Jeremy, doesn't want to give up his topic. He's taken all the research material, leaving Logan to do some digging of her own. She's more interested in Sean Baylor's life from an astrology point of view. Without many resources, she steps outside the box. Logan uncovers some mysterious clues. Together, the two attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding the singer's death while each trying to win the coveted place in the class.

TAURUS EYES is the second book in the STAR CROSSED series. I love the layers of this book: romance, meeting new friends, research, mystery, enemies, and ghosts. Each layer just adds more to this fun read.

Taurus Eyes is the second book in the Star Crossed series, and I would say it is better than the first. This time around, Logan is at Writer's Camp taught by the famous Henry Jaffa. Throughout the book, we learn more about each of the astrological signs as Logan tries to write her paper from an astrological perspective. Along the way, there is plenty of drama, boy problems, and even ghosts!

My favorite part of this book is the mystery. I absolutely loved guessing what was actually going on. Adding the idea of ghosts to the story was exciting and added to the mystery! Logan was so much fun in this book. She is more sure of herself and what she wants. I really liked Jeremy, her crush this time around, more than Nathan. Nathan always seemed a bit shady to me, so it was nice to see a guy with good intentions. I would have to say their romance seemed a bit premature. One thing I really liked about this book was that Logan put her writing before the boy. I thought that was awesome. So many books are all about getting the guy that it makes it seem like the girl NEEDS the guy to succeed. I liked that this was not the case. The guy was more of an added bonus, not a necessity.

Taurus Eyes was a spectacular addition to the Star Crossed series. I am definitely enjoying everything about this series. Each book is so much fun to read. It seems like I learn something new about astrology every chapter. Before reading this series, I never knew astrology can be so much fun! If you like fun, light reads, I recommend picking up this book.

This second book in the series I liked even more than the first. Logan was as tough as ever and in addition to having to deal with a sexy eyed boy who was a bit here and there, she also had another mystery to solve.

Seems that Logan always has a mystery to solve, I guess that is just what the cosmos have in store for her.

I still liked this book a little more than the first. I thought her love interest, although moody, suited her better and wasn't as superficial. Henry Jaffa, the teacher for this writing school over the summer, kind of made me laugh for some reason and there were a selection of female characters that showed the epitome of high school stupidity and even a little genius. I'd say plus 5 for that!

Yet again though, I'm still feeling that Trix Bunny with her love life. Come on, love is for Logan! But...and, I'm not saying either way, but maybe...possibly...there is a good chance that in Taurus Eyes, Logan gets to have some fun in Monterey Bay with a pretty sexy bit of man flesh. *big grin* (Which, I would just like to say that I think Hill does such an amazing job in this book describing the eyes of the sexy bit of man flesh...gives me tingles just thinking about it.)

In the end, I think this book does have a happy but bittersweet ending and if your on the look out for ghost stories and dock side kung fu, pick up this next book in the Star Crossed Series.

This is a really good series for young adults who are interested in astrology. It's a fun story with educational tidbits sprinkled in, and the characters really demonstrate their signs.
