Pierced Book Review by J.C. Mells

I saw this book - kindle really - and the cover completely grabbed me right away. So I figured that this would be a really pleasant read.

Boy was I totally right!

I simply loved this story! This book did surprise me quite a bit, I really didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Each of the characters were exceedingly lovable and such a joy to read and follow! Finally I got to read a book that I couldn't get enough of! So I'm probably going to gosh over this quite a bit.

I do have to admit that the beginning of the story did have me question whether I should continue with it. It was a little slow for me at first, but I know that it was necessary for the story and for us to understand the plot and the going on of it all. I'm glad I stuck with it, because as the progress continued I got so much more involved with the main character Pierce. This story is an urban fantasy, so there are vampires and wolves and sorcerers I believe.  The author knew how to sprinkle it in a way that it wasn't forced or pushed in your face, the way it's written it's more towards it can be believable which is nice.


 J.C. Mells - which I have never heard of until now - knows how to keep the reader engaged with well rounded characters and each of them are very important to it all. There isn't much of a romance which is really good, granted that there's a small hint of it in my opinion towards the end. The author mainly focuses on Pierce's tragic background and the obstacles that are part of her life. Pierce is a bit of a schizo. She has two voices/personalities in her head and she knows it and embraces it. Mildred and Veda - the voices in Pierce's head - were created by Pierce during her traumatic childhood as a form of copping with the whole situation. Those voices pop in to add hilarious commentary - and some bickering - helpful advice and guidance to Pierce. 
I must say, sometimes it was a bit hard to keep track of who said what, but for the most time I understood the conversations between the ladies and Pierce. 
Now to Pierce herself.
Pierce is pretty complicated young girl, with a very difficult and tragic past/childhood. She's - along with his daughter Mia - running away from Dorian a man that wan't to be a vampire. He's the one that pushed upon her all the dark and complicatedly tragic history. 
I believe the author did a very good job with the writing, which was easy to follow and with the characters which were very well rounded and likable. I'm looking forward to the other books of the series, which they are already out, so I can't wait to be able to get them.  I enjoyed the story very much! ^.^




Pierce is a strong girl. She stands up for herself and does anything and everything to keep herself - and Mia - on their feet. She kick ass too, which is nice. Pierce does tend to keep people at a distance, which is understandable giving her past, so she doesn't trust many either. It was really nice to see her evolved through out the story.
