I really wanted to like it and I liked the Irish accents and setting.<br /><br />But a lot of the problems you had with it, I did too. I mentioned that Carrier of the Mark was way too much like Twilight too. I swear, I said out loud "if she trips" (insert fist shake) and then she tripped...<br /><br />Really wished I liked this one more because like you said, Leigh is a really nice person.

Something about it just screamed mediocre to me. Glad I was right. I did feel like I should try it as homage to my Leprechaun lovin side of the family, but... The English side won out. =) <br /><br />Very honest review.
