"My name is John Loveheart and I was not born wicked." 
 What a whimsical, wicked little book! 
 I've been sitting here for the last half hour trying to come up with a way to put into words how I feel about it, and still I've got nothing. 
 The writing style was lyrical and it sucked me right in and I gobbled this book up in one sitting. 
 Some people have shelved this book as YA, but don't be put off if you don't care for the genre. I don't consider this YA at all. Some of the characters might be young, but they aren't YA characters. Mr. Loveheart is too twisted, too bloodthirsty. Mirror is too unapproachable. When you add in the blood and gore it becomes very much an adult book. There may be a pretty cover on the front and the writing style is beautiful, but the story is anything but. It is bloody and twisted. 
 Oh well, to each his own. I don't really know where to shelve it either. 
 I don't often buy books because I have a budget and a very good library system, but this series has just made my autobuy list.
