Slightly predictable with a large Ego
Okay so I guessed the big twist, it was a longtime coming, and usually I can appricate a book even when I think I know what’s coming, they always plant little leads for active readers. But I guessed it way too early and I was a little more complicated than what I was thinking and I definitely want to read the next book to find out more, but it felt like I was forceably dragging myself to the end of this novel. I read it in two days, 470 pages, that takes dedication.
I’m in a huge dystopian kick right now and this is the most cut and dry post-apocalyptic one that I’ve seen so far, so kudos. I know I’m rambling, it’s early.

I truly enjoyed this book - i can't give it 5* because there were a few moments I had trouble with but 4.5/4.75 ... close enough - but overall this was a solid book and very interesting. Viking stuff I didn't think would interest me but damn I had so much fun reading this. And a standalone - it wrapped up so nicely I kind of want to read it again.

I don't know how to feel about this! I enjoyed it a lot but I did speed through a lot of it in order to get it finished so I'm not entirely sure if I fully got the whole story. I enjoyed the narration but I'd love to set aside time and actually read this again because I think I'd probably get more from it a second time through
TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated A Promise in Provence (Provence #2) in Books

I so enjoyed how this book brought forth forgiving the past and learning from it.
Kyle Hunter is a new to me author. This book is part of a series and since I have not read the previous book and I was not confused I think it can be read as a standalone.
I loved Kyle Hunter's vivid descriptions of Mark and Laurens's travels through France (and I will admit I am a little jealous of them!). I also enjoyed the character interactions and the challenges they faced. But I will be honest with you, Lauren is not a very likable character through much of the book and I had a difficult time seeing past her wishy-washy self-centeredness. But I did enjoy the overall story. I thought Lauren’s quest to find herself was interesting and I liked the faith-based aspects of the story. So, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

I had heard a little about this book before I saw that it was being made into a movie. The concept seemed cute and was definitely a good read. I was not prepared for the amount of sadness that I would have while reading and every time Cameron described the aging of the dogs, I found myself petting mine and holding her closer. Well written and easily embraces the view point of a dog from beginning to end and back again. I think all dog lovers should read this but have a tissue handy.

I love a good fantasy book and I knew that this was one challenge I wouldn't find difficult. I would devour this fantasy book in a day and enjoy it and love it and find a new series to keep me occupied.
Well, ladies and gentleman, I have learnt my lesson. Never judge a book by its cover or in this case its genre.
Let me give you a bit of background first before I launch into my opinion.

Kirsten Myra Edwards (303 KP) rated The Surgeon (Rizzoli & Isles, #1) in Books
Feb 2, 2020
This book was a trilling read.
I loved the whole thing as it's a real keen interest of mine. I've even brought the follow up that book. Only problem is I've had a baby so my time to read it has been very minimal.
I was drawn into the book many years back when I saw it advertised at a trim station.
I will have to reread one day as it was a very good book which I read quite quick but I can't quite remember the time scale.
