I Loved It
Contains spoilers, click to show
I actually enjoyed the season, though I do agree that it was rushed. And I was pretty satisfied with each individual episode. My only real quibbles were that I didn't like Cersei and Jaime's deaths; I actually would have been okay if Jaime had lived, but Cersei needed to die in a slow and torturous manner, so I really felt robbed of seeing that. I also wasn't thrilled about Bran being named the King. I know that Jon/Aigon didn't want the position, but surely someone else could have been named! Thirdly, I would liked to have seen a real battle with the Night King; a lengthy sword match, if nothing else, at least.

When I sat down to read this book, I thought, "Hmm, interesting title.", the reason I started reading the novel in the first place.
Once I began to read the book, I couldn't put it down. The more I read the more I wanted to read.
It didn't turn out the way I thought it might, but that is a good thing. Because the author gave you an air of looking for one thing and then providing you with another entirely different ending to the story. Also making you want to read the next book in the series.
Thanks Kathryn Johnson for a wonderful mystery.
I was provided with a free copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

My favourite book of 2018
Well I brought this book as heard so so many good reviews, like most books I try not to read spoilers as I enjoy the surprise! ..I was not disappointed I took it on holiday to Mexico and sat by the pool all day turning page after page ..the only disappointment I got was when I finished it!

It’s a strange feeling when your climbing deep into a book , thinking you know the characters well then ‘bang’ you don’t know them at all. It’s such a gorgeous love story but with twists I was not expecting I felt all sorts of emotions all the way through.

I will be reading more of Katherine’s books she is very talented

"This might be the first movie that I saw. I remember watching it when I was five or six — I shouldn’t even have been watching it — and I saw it in a theater. I grew up in a small town and they had one of those small town theaters, and they put Westerns and whatnot onscreen. It’s one of those movies that made me think it would be very cool to work in movies. I don’t know if I understood the concept of being a director, but I understood the concept of someone making movies, and this movie did it for me. Other people say Star Wars or Indiana Jones. For me it was this one. That’s why I have an emotional reaction to it."

"Well, to be honest, it’s the first little book that’s in the [Imagination Library] program. It’s The Little Engine That Could. Because I’m the little engine that did. I always say that “I thought I could, I thought I could” and “I think I can, I think I can, and I still think I can.” So I think that’s a great little inspirational book. It really kinda sums me up pretty good."

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.

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.
