It was a very short story. I liked the premise of it but it seemed a bit rushed. Wth the strength of the character and a bit more development this could be a good full length book. I will be reading the continuation of this story line.

A great world building book. I was engaged from the beginning. Kelsey had believable reactions even if a few of the things thrown her way she excepted a little too easily. I enjoy that she has a defined personality.

"Saw it with my whole family when I was seven. Sat in my uncle Linny’s lap, I think, or next to him. He covered my eyes when Mookie rubbed ice on Tina’s areola. I saw through his fingers. I thought I was those people, but I was a child"

Wow I loved it! I thought I would enjoy based on my recent viewing of John Wick 1 & 2, but I never thought I would love so much. In the modern days of superhero madness and everything becoming a franchise, it was refreshing to see this action film not pull any punches, literally.

I know they are talking about associating this film with the John Wick "universe", but this film stands on its own as a true modern kick-ass masterpiece.

A Breakfast Club whodunnit!
Okay I have to say I was completely shocked with just how much I enjoyed this one! I am not really a fan of mysteries in general because I always guess the ending no matter how cleaved the book/show thinks they're being. But when it came to One Of Us Is Lying is just couldn't put it down. I guessed the ending a little before the halfway point but it didn't bother me at all since McManus kept throwing more curve balls that had me second guessing myself.

I was already a Mindy Kaling fan before reading this book. But now, I feel like she's a friend in my head. I loved that in explaining her experience with bullying at school, she referenced "Heathers", rather than the typical go to of "Mean Girls". That alone made me like her more. And although I have never written, directed, and starred in my own play or done anything like Mindy career wise, as a person, I was able to relate to her experiences and struggles.

I will definitely be reading her second book.

A couple of these I have read for the authors before but a lot of these were new reads for me. I loved all these authors. They are amazing writers, the stories were so much fun to read. I loved the problems that they had.. the love that was found.. and of course all the paranormal beings in the stories. Totally amazing box set and I am so glad I got this from the authors for a read/review. I will recommend this set to all my friends
  
This was a very interesting and different take on a story. I really enjoyed the different aspect to this story. Parts were slower then normal for my liking but overall I enjoyed the characters and their tale. The writing made me feel like I was part of the story in most parts. The heat wasn't as much as I was expecting between the characters but it was a very good start and I will enjoy seeing where this series goes. I'm glad I was given this for an honest review.

Ok, this book took me a little bit longer to read because I had to read it slower so I didn't miss anything. There was so much in this book.. and the ending.. omg the ending threw me for a loop. I didn't see that coming at all. It was an amazing book, the characters, the plot all of it. I thought it was going to end a different way then it did.. I almost cried at one part. It was so sad and yet not sad at the same time. I loved it!

Fantasy isn't one of my favorite genre's but this was a short, sweet and fun story to read. The descriptive writing was amazing. I felt like I was seeing everything as it was happening. I felt like I could feel what was going on, the sea, the water, the sand, the people everything. It was a fun, easy read. I enjoyed how not everything was easy for her.. how things were bad.. and things were good.. Overall this was a very enjoyable story and I am excited to see what happenes next.
