Biography

Helena Hunting lives on the outskirts of Toronto with her incredibly tolerant family and two moderately intolerant cats. She's putting her English degree to good use by writing popular fiction. She is the author of Clipped Wings, her debut novel, and Inked Armor.

So Clipped Wings I was very happy to read.  A few people I know were reading it and just loved it.  But I had real issues with this book.  Its been one month since Tenley survived one of the worst things that can happen to someone.  And as I understand that she is trying to work through her issues I felt that her emotions were unrealistic.  I found the love interest to be annoying.  And although the two of them had a lot of sweet moments I really couldn't connect with either of these main characters.  I think that really killed the story for me.  The plot started to drag around a 1/4 of the way through the book and around the ending the author came out of left field adding a new element to the story.  The ending was not much better.
