This is my second book in a row of this series after having a break that ended up lasting a few years but i have been drawn right back into Rachel and co's tales.

I'm a little annoyed that we didnt learn who was behind Kisten's murder but after grabbing the next paperback out of my wardrobe i see that it is possibly going to be solved in the next book, so yay.

Other than that, the overall series arc seems to have shifted into a higher gear and I'm intrigued where we're going to go from here, so I'm off to start [b:White Witch, Black Curse|6087668|White Witch, Black Curse (The Hollows, #7)|Kim Harrison|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347508533s/6087668.jpg|3516587]

Lots of focus on Frey, Jes, and Crake too little on the rest of the crew (0 more)
This book was good. There are some rough spots here and there which does start to iron out in the next books as his writing style develops. I'm slightly glad this wasn't my introduction to the Katy Jay crew as it didn't really have many of my favorite people (Silo, who does become more prominent as the book series goes on, and Harkens who has a great overall character arc) so I'd recommend you read this book last or later as a way to answer questions you had that the other books didn't quite get into. (I read it 3rd). Frey is the least likable in this book.

I am a fan of Keary Taylors work but hadn't got round to reading 'House of royals'(it was on my kindle in my to read pile). I saw a chance to apply to become part of her ARC group and received an arc copy of 'House of pawns'. Obviously I couldn't just read 'House of Pawns' before reading 'House of royals' So I started reading the first and couldn't put it down. I had read the first in a matter of days and was so very grateful I had the next one readily available to continue reading.

I love the uniqueness of this series, the new take on a vampire story, not something that has been rehashed.
It's character driven and the characters are complex and each bring something to the table.
'Liv has an amazing journey and I love who she is starting to become, how little things, one small decision can have consequences that change the course of your life and of those around you and how quickly ones life can change.
The new characters that are introduced are well developed and very interesting the old characters are just getting more and more interesting, our glimpse into their past are intriguing and give us a look into how they become who they are today.
I don't want to spoil anything for the readers so I am not going to say anything about the actual plot line.
This is a series that I can't put down and cannot wait for 'House of Kings' to see what the next chapter of her life is like.

CROSSING THE LINE is the second book in the KTS series, and I would really recommend you read it as part of a series, rather than a standalone. You 'could' but it does have an overall story arc, and besides, book one is amazing.

Ollie and Linc are both doctors, both dedicated to saving lives. Ollie has an attraction to Linc, but he shot her down in flames, so she has hidden it behind sarcasm. Linc has finally reached a place where he feels okay to tell her about what happened, and why he reacted that way but, unfortunately for him, they both get blown up before he can tell Ollie his story.

*Sigh* I loved Linc. After all, how many women WOULDN'T want a man who pays attention? I could understand his reasoning, and so could Ollie. And that's part of what draws me into these books. There is drama and angst, but none of it is unnecessary, and all of it moves the story along.

The story arc moves along nicely, and I must say, Daniel has more lives than a cat! I am loving where this is taking me, and I can't wait to read more. The action is smoothly paced, and we get to see Ava and Dan from book one too. This definitely leaves you wanting more. Absolutely recommended by me.

This author's debut novel is simply stunning and brought back memories of when I lived in La Isla del Encanto...Puerto Rico. This magical story of young love and unmeasurable loss is beautiful and frightening at the same time. The story quickly pulls you in and keeps you immersed with a strong and well paced plot and the characters are all beautifully written. The author's writing style was so vivid that I felt like I was a part of the hair raising story line. I highly recommend this haunting read to readers of all ages and I am looking forward to more of this author's work.

The ReBirth of Doctor who
Wether your a old doctor who fan or new to the show Christopher Eccleston performance launched the new generation of Doctor who to a much wider audience across the world. Bille Piper performance as Rose is relatable and bring humour to counter Eccelstons sterner side.

Show runners Russel T Davies and Stephan Moffat make a great team with Moffat being a great writer to invoke your inner fears the monsters he creates are top notch and Russel T Davies keeps the series well run and created thw Arc structure that Moffat fails at in later series.


Not to mention it always good to have cybermen darleck back on our tv screens
