I was conflicted between giving this book 3 or 4 stars, but decided on 4. This book was very hard to get into. The beginning tells a story that seems to go nowhere. There are a lot of characters introduced right off the bat & it starts off a bit hard to follow. However, if you stick with it this runs out to be a seriously interesting & highly umpredictable read. I had no idea what was going to happen. The 2 main charaters Leo & Raissa are mysterious & intriguing. They seem to be hard to relate to at first, but as the story unfolds they seem almost too human.
If you can stick out the first 100 pages, you will be rewarded with a great read!

Star Wars: Rebellion review: A fully operational 4-hour board game
Looking at the box for Star Wars: Rebellion, the massive new two-to-four-player galactic board game from Fantasy Flight, I had only one thought: "Look at the size of that thing!"

Loosely based on the 1998 video game of the same name, the board game version of Rebellion is ludicrously outsized. The galaxy, too large to fit on a single game board, here sprawls across two. Rebel and Imperial forces aren't represented by cardboard but by 153 plastic miniatures—including three Death Stars and two Super Star Destroyers.

This mystery is somewhat fun to read about. There a mystery that keep you interested in the book. I wonder what is to happen for this couple and family. Who is behind the attacks? Why would they want to attack. Will Elli or even Nathan going to solve this. So far this book has me want get the other books in the series. My first reaction is good so far. I would rate this 4 stars or 4 Rats in my case. I would recommend the author Colleen Coble to others if they asked. I want you to decide if this for you or anyone else to read. Just because I liked it does not mean that you like it. It is up to you.

Elizabeth Pantley has done it again!

Ever since Hayden has arrived at Destiny falls mystery seems to follow her. There is no change in this book as a man who was already thought dead is found, dead! Its down to Hayden, Han, Jaxson and Axel to discover what's going on.

Another fantastic story beautifully written by Elizabeth it captures you into the world of Destiny Falls and the magic that happens around it. I love that every book has a new mystery to be uncovered but I also love the new charecters and the descriptions of them they are so vivid!

Another fantastic story definatly recommended, but please read the others in the series first! I can't wait for book 4!
4/5 stars

Disclaimer: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Just whatever happened to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? They died in Bolivia, right? Are you sure that's what happened?

This novel gives us the story of Butch and Sundance: how they met, what happened during their time together, and, more importantly, the story of Bolivia. If you're like me and think they couldn't possibly have gone out like that, then this is a book you definitely need to read. =)

4 stars

Ugh - 3-4 stars. I love contemporary, etc. but I found the MC in this book to be a wee bit annoying. Yes, what they're doing is awesome because the boys are absolute assholes in this book, but at a certain point when your potential love interest acts like a jerk (somewhat) and you just whine about how sad you are about it.. no thank you. Still, the message was awesome - so applause - girls need to fight back, especially in some of those situations - female empowerment FTW!

♱♱♱♱ <b> 4 'Beautiful' Stars </b>

Just pick this manga up for the artwork as it is stunning! Absolutely beautiful ❤

I must admit I haven't read the original novel but after reading this I would like to give it a go.

The only negatives I found in this book is that it felt a bit rushed like too much was packed into one volume so things got a bit confusing at times. Maybe reading the novel will clear things up.
