Cathy's Key by Sean Stewart and Jordan Weisman
***
This book is the sequel to Cathy's book. It follows Cathy as she unravels the secrets surrounding Cathy's boyfriend, Victor, her best friend's budding business, amd her father's death. Even though her biggest problems are purely paranormal, she still deals with things like trying (and failing) to stay employed so she can can pay her mother rent, documenting it all in in her notebook.
This series has all the trappings of a paranormal romance (love triangle and all), but the authors do keep things interesting with a unique take on immortality (rooted in Chinese mythololgy), interesting charcters and subplots, and well-paced humor. Since third book is already out, I'm going to read it next. If you plan on reading this, it's probably in your best interest to call the number on the book, and actually take a look inside the bag.

What I thought most interesting about this trilogy was that the phone numbers, web pages, etc. are all active and the reader can access them and become more involved in the character and the story by means other than merely reading. The style of the book is different as well with it looking like a notebook and having the drawings and diagrams on the pages. The packet with the items and such provides another aspect that can make the reader feel like he/she is actually personally involved in solving the mystery.
This book was just too much for me to handle. There were too many things to call and look at.
When i was putting books away, i thought all the numbers and items in it looked interesting. I probably would have read it if i wasn't reading something else already
Tried reading them, but they couldn't keep me interested..
I read it and it was alright
