Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated American Girl on Saturn (Saturn, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
The start was a little iffy for me, it didn't flow smoothly and I got a little confused but when the boys of SAS showed up I didn't care so much anymore.
I enjoyed the gentle romance of Chloe and Milo. It was sweet and I loved the fireflies and treehouse and midnight meetings... sigh. I also enjoyed reading the cammeraderie between the guys and by the end, the girls and guys together. Like an extended family.
There was just a point about 65% where I started to lose interest. It seemed to be a lot of the same stuff going on and I got a little bored and then the drama hit--the one where boy and girl have a big misunderstanding--and I wanted to hit both of them. I know something had to happen but it was just so cliché.
I was pretty happy when they resolved the matter but by then I'd sort of lost interest in the story and was just skimming the text, looking for interesting bits.
Not a bad book but one not quite to my tastes.

ClareR (5779 KP) rated The Scandal in Books
Nov 15, 2017
Utterly gripping, one of my favourite books this year. Set in a Swedish (I think!) hockey town. Everything revolves around ice hockey. Until a scandal rocks the very foundations of the town. It sets the truth against misplaced loyalties. Which is more important: the Team, or the truth?
I noticed that this was called Beartown in the US. I think I possibly prefer that as a title, however, I believe that The Scandal is closer to the original translated title.

This book was not at all what I expected...not necessarily in a bad way, but it wasn't great either. It took me awhile to get in to the story & I found myself not easily able to connect with the characters. The ending was horrible! I understand that is a series, but come on! It literally stopped in the middle of a plot continuation. I hate that!
To be honest, I don't know that I'd pick up the next book in the series.

Very well done from this author and I'm glad i got to review it
starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Eve of Darkness (Marked, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
I was expecting a lot better then it was, however it wasn't a bad book just got confusing and the characters kind of annoyed me. I did love cain and abel I will admit and Eve rocked but their trio conflict annoyed me. I felt like neither man seriously wanted to be with her and it was just a game to them. I enjoyed it but found myself fighting to make it through to the end and glad that it was over.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Putting on the Witch (Retired Witches Mystery #3) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Putting on the Witch is a part urban fantasy, and part cozy mystery. Ive read (and enjoyed) other paranormal cozies, but Putting on the Witch is in a class of its own. The fantasy element and magical world building was wonderfully done. The mystery is well-written, the characters are likable (at least most of them are!), and I loved every word of it.

Decent, but very predictable.
I finished the book within only a few days, but had to push myself to do so, only due to the fact I already knew exactly how it would end, far before I reached the final page. I personally felt the ending was very predictable, and it's not something I feel is worth a re-read. It was a book to add to my have-read-pile, but that's it - nothing more, nothing less.

I loved this so much - being a huge nerd I totaly related to the content (though not the youtube/actor thing) but I'd totaly go see my fav youtubers in person (not a stalker or anything) and the anxiety rep was great in this - for me anyway - it was totaly relatable and I need more - immediately need more - I think it's a definite must read - the two opposite love story angles in one book - so well done, I loved every second!

Great farming board game! I enjoyed it very much!
I liked the tokens especially - so cute!
When played for the first time, the rules are hard to process unless you have a person that has played it a lot of times. When you play for the first time - expect to lose. Badly. I could have completed so many orders, but I didn't know I was eligible.
This is a game that you get better and better by playing more and more.
