Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Garden of Madness (Seven Wonders, #2) in Books

This is 1 of those times where I wish Goodreads would give the old 1/2 a star option. This book wasn't a 3, but it wasn't a 4 either. I enjoyed it, but I also didn't think it was worth 4 stars. The characters I interesting & the arcs that each progresses through during the course of the book were intriguing. There was a fairly good plot, and the ending found me holding my breath for fear of what might happen to Tiamat.
However, the beginning was where I found myself struggling with the story. It took awhile for the action of the plot to really get going & draw me in. The characters were at first, hard to connect with. I enjoyed the historical part of the story. It wasn't too overbearing or preachy for being rather religious based. It didn't feel forced and worked naturally with the plot. I guess this just isn't the kind of book I'd normally find myself pulling down off a shelf.

3.5 stars.
I really liked the first two books in this series but it has been a while since I read them so my tastes have changed a little.
This started a little too slowly for me. Never the less, after it reached the 45% mark I did start to get reeled in by the story and the characters.
I wanted Raj and Sarah to get together.
I wanted to figure out who was taking the girls and why.<br/>I wanted Raj to become Master.
That ending also has me intrigued, so I will be reading book 4 at some point in the future.

an absolute gripping novel with lots of twists and turns
Steve wendell is the detective put in charge of the disappearance of Britany Rodgers. He is determined to find out what happened to her no matter how long it takes.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel there were so many twists and turns I really did not expect half of what happened or the outcome of the case and not to brag but I'm normally quite good at figuring these kind of things out. There was alot of emotion involved in the story and I felt every bit of it.
Deffinatly a gripping novel fantastically written 4/5 stars

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Feral Sins (The Phoenix Pack #1) in Books

3.5 stars, mainly because Suzanne's books can be too long for my liking a lot of the time and because I got fed up of reading the sex scenes.
I'm pretty picky about my shifter books, preferring vampires to shapeshifters most days, and this one was good but I felt it went on too long.
Character wise I think I liked Marcus the most, though I couldn't really explain why. I also liked Dante. In fact, most of the guys were pretty cool but I did have favourites.
Other than wanting to read book 4, Marcus' book, I haven't decided if I want to read the rest of the series yet.

This book just made me cry and laugh and cry! I have to admit though I gave up on it the first time! I got 50 pages in and just did not have any desire to pick it back up again. Thank god I did! It was many months later but I told myself I must keep going! Just wow, I loved it, the characters were so very well written and their relationships are just magical. There is such a twist in the story which I won't mention, but I didn't see that coming at all. I just loved it, I have given it 4 stars because of the slow start!
