Representaion Concering Books Swoon (Swoon #1)
Sin is coming... Prepare to Swoon.Torn from her native New York City and dumped in the land of cookie-cutter preps, Candice is resigned to accept her posh, dull fate. Nothing ever happens in Swoon, Connecticut...until Dice's perfect, privileged cousin Penelope nearly dies in a fall from an old tree, and her spirit intertwines with that of a ghost. His name? Sinclair Youngblood Powers. His mission? Revenge. And while Pen is oblivious to the possession, Dice is all too aware of Sin. She's intensely drawn to him—but not at all crazy about the havoc he's wreaking. Determined to exorcise the demon, Dice accidentally sets Sin loose, gives him flesh, makes him formidable. Now she must destroy an even more potent—and irresistible—adversary, before the whole town succumbs to Sin's will. Only trouble is, she's in love with him.
What do you do when the boy of your dreams is too bad to be true?

Swoon is another book from Simon and Schuster's spring release list -- the hardcover hits bookstores May 2009. And all I can ask myself is "why?"I tried to like this book. I really did. I told myself it was edgy, and tried to look at it from a teen's perspective. The premise grabbed me: malevolent, vengeful ghost takes possession of a teen and wrecks havoc on the town that wronged him in the 1700s. The teen's cousin is the only one who knows about the possession . . . and she's in love with theI really didn't like this book. It started out really well, with a near-death incident and an interesting voice. But it just went downhill from there. This is possibly the weirdest YA book I have ever read, and that is saying something. Why was it weird, you ask? RAMPANT SEX. That is basically the theme of the book. There are orgies and spontaneous orgasms and seductions... and none of it really had any point.Okay, I'll start at the beginning. Our heroine, nicknamed Dice (short for Candice), has
Swoon, Connecticut, population 500 or so and with no cell phone reception, seems a pretty dull hamlet to 17-year-old Candice "Dice" Moskow, whose parents have moved her there from New York City due to its proximity to family. However, things get a little more interesting when Dice's gorgeous cousin Pen falls out of a tree while doing acrobatics after smoking pot (don't try this at home, kids). Pen has been possessed by the spirit of 21-year-old Sinclair Youngblood Powers, who was hanged from the
I was going to hold off on writing reviews for a bit, but having read this book, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. I picked up Swoon because I was in the mood for a romantic ghost story, but what I got was really more of a hybrid:one part haunted love story, and one part soapy book about the misbehavior of pretty rich kids, which is only in part supernaturally inspired. The heroine, Dice (short for Candice) has recently moved to the town of Swoon, Connecticut, full of rich, beautiful people,
I'm just going to refer you to Kira's review.
The Good: The beginning was good, it drew you in and when I say it drew you in, what I really meant was the book is practically daring you to put it down! And you cant because it is so fascinating and you just HAVE to know what happens next. The middle it was pretty good, but the ending, OMG, the ending really delivered the most.Usually those types of endings make me want to chuck the book out the window this was not the case with Swoon. And that takes skill to make me, the most emotional and
I got to that rape scene and was done. I just couldn't do it. Two women I love and respect to my very core (who I shall not name) are rape victims. One of them has talked about it with me. It almost ruined her life. And to see a author of YA romance fiction treat it like a joke made me cry. I'm serious, I cried. I cried because young girls are reading this and think that rape is funny. They might think that no one will care if they scream for help. Or maybe, the one that really gets me, those
