The Midas Touch

[captaintwinings.livejournal.com]

Since someone here posted a while ago that K.A. Applegate had ghostwritten a few of the Sweet Valley Twins books, I decided to see if I could find out which ones. I couldn't, but I did find out that before she wrote YA fiction, she wrote Harlequin romance novels under the name Katherine Kendall. So I bought them both on ebay.



The back cover starts out, "Whales were dying mysteriously". SOLD! Whales are magic. Save the whales.

Also, that horrible mustachioed hero's name is Jake.

Would anyone be interested in a review? This book has some similarities to Animorphs, to the point that it almost reads as Rachel/Marco AU fic. Or Cassie/Marco. Or Cassie/Tobias.

The other book, First and Forever, hasn't arrived yet and I have no idea what it's about. Here's hoping it's another practice Animorphs book!

This is basically the best thing I've ever heard ever.

I can't believe she used the name Jake for it. Hahahaha.

Considering that she also named her son Jake, I think she just really, really likes the name XD

Bahahahaha, this kind of makes my day. If I was a jerk I'd take it to a signing of whatever kid's book she's doing next.

...I'm gonna need to get this book. And I think you're going to need to give us a more in-depth analysis of it. For...literature reasons. Yes.
