Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Born to Run and Chrome Circle in one
Review: If you've read those two, you don't need this one. It's just those two bound together. This should have been mentioned before I bought the book.

For those who haven't read the book(s)it is more than worth it. They are great juvinile stories that, IMO, are lots of fun for old grouches like myself as well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hooray! Finally FOUND it!
Review: It is too bad that a publisher is so anxious to make money that they release a book under a new name so that they can sell something that has already been sold and bought.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: boo to you

Summary: Buyer beware: Two older books masquerading as a new title!
Review: The one star is a boo-hiss for Baen books, which is re-releasing older books under new titles, apparently in an attempt to get customers to buy books they've bought before.

This book is actually the books "Born to Run" and "Chrome Circle," which are about a human protagonist, various supernatural creatures, and troubled teens. These books were originally part of the SERRAted Edge series of urban (modern) fantasy.

The books are okay; not Lackey's best, but anything she writes is going to be worth reading. But not worth paying for *twice*! Shame on Baen books for trying to hoodwink their readers. There was no indication this was a re-issue when I pre-ordered; and even the book itself gave the older titles in small print.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What was wrong with the old title?
Review: The single star is a minimum requirement, I would rate this book as 0 stars - there is a certain lack of originality. I really loved this story - the first time around, but felt cheated when it arrived, not as I believed a sequel to the crome ring, just a reisue. Please don't do that to us. I like reading the books by ML, but I do not want to need to do research before I order new books, the least you could do was to tell the world that the book is not new.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hilarious
Review: These two books are Born to Run and Chrome Circle bound together. It can be a little confusing because they are the first and fourth books in a series, and one of the main characters in Chrome Circle originated from the second book in the series. These books are very funny, and Tannim is a very cool character. The first book starts very abruptly, but it was understandable and exciting. Two thumbs up.
