I find her very confusing. I like her books. I loved the Bayou series. But, there's something about her writing style that always leaves me confused. This was especially true with the Court of Angels series (her new paranormal series). I think I have liked the first two (haven't read the third). But, I find it odd that I "think" I like a book. I'm usually not confused about whether or not I like a book. Does anyone have any input on her as an author and what it is that confuses me about her writing style? |

I've read and I like her. I don't know how to comment on the leaving you confused part. I've only read the Bayou books. I haven't read any of her historicals or other books yet. Does she change her style a lot from different types of books? I know some author's do that. I know there are some author's that others just love and I've read them and while not hating them just was underwhelmed. Sorry-not helpful at all I know. |

Her older books, contemporary and historicals, used to be some of my favorites. I didn't feel that her Bayou series was that strong and she has to me gone hill as a writer since then. I still buy her books, but only as a UBS sale. |

I feel the same way about Christina Dodd. Even when I like them, there always seems to be something in her books that makes me go "huh?" |

While I was finishing Out of Sight (the last Court of Angel's book) I realized what it is that puzzles me. It's her dialog. I noticed that frequently the conversations she was portraying didn't make a lot of sense to me. They seem out of whack to what the current situation is. I tried really hard to like the Court of Angel's trilogy but in the end I think that the plot and how she usedit was very weak and lame. The books are her entry into the paranormal relm (other than having Wazoo be a psychic in the Bayou books). I'll probably still read her books because I really liked the Bayou series. |

I hate that in books! The last category I reviewed, I wrote that it seemed almost like the characters were speaking in code. Nothing they said seemed to have relevance to anything, including what the other person has just said. |

My only Stella Cameron attempt was Finding Ian, and it was a DNF. |
