Diane Farr drinks too much coffee, especially when she is busy writing. There are times she will blankly stare at the computer screen for hours on end, sipping away at her coffee, often swearing under her breath, until she decides to go off and take a nap. Once she wakes, she will either write, or not. Either way, when Diane does set fire to the keyboard, she comes up with stories that engage the reader and are truly compelling. She has a lovely smile that just illuminates. After reading one of her books, you get this sensational, overwhelming feeling that she has written it especially with you in mind.
Wicked Cool is a great young adult supernatural read. When Zara met the someone for the very first time, it gave me the shivers. I found this a strong story with bold characters that know how to keep the reader engaged. I enjoyed the way Diane Farr told the story. She shapes Zara into a normal teenager with the same desires as others, yet she has powers she must try to understand and accept. There were times I could feel empathy for Zara and the events she had to endure. Meg is a totally awesome great sister-friend. Well-developed characters, an intriguing storyline, and great creativity make this one rare jewel of a read.
