What a Star
Alright, My boy Lolly deserves, like, none of this shit. What a pure child. Alright, as a kid that's also kinda from the hood, I can tell you, it's really that bad. However, this book encapsulated it perfectly, and the added small details made it all the better.
One thing I really like was that Lolly's obsession with Legos was well done. I think Moore really showed how a kid, who was just twelve would feel. Little kids dealing with adult stuff is something that shouldn't happen, but still does. However, Moore makes it inviting, and yet not. Oof. This review is getting problematic.
Last thing: LGBTGIA+ friendly!!!

Alice (12 KP) rated Talon (Talon, #1) in Books
Jul 3, 2018
Definitely a new side to dragons that I don't think I've seen before. A strong hatred between Talon and St. George which was played out quite well.
Ember was a very good name for a dragon and I particularly liked Riley 's nickname of Firebrand I thought it suited her well.
The characters were well developed with balance between prose and dialogue. Very well written.
I preferred Riley /Cobalt to Garrett but I'll almost always choose a shapeshifter over a human. Riley just had that bad boy-esque edge to him plus the added bonus of mates or at least I think they're mates.

Terrible acting. And I love both the main actors so it was very surprising. Its quite an interesting plot if it had been done correctly. I watched this movie a couple years ago and blocked it from my brain it was so bad. Then when it popped up on Disney+ I thought it was something new I hadn't seen. Boy was I wrong! Somehow worse the second time around. How the heck do plants choose who lives or dies? How did half of New York or wherever survive and the others didn't? Doesn't make sense.... The rating is a 2 because I liked the old ladies jump scare!

Merissa (13169 KP) rated Clueless (Squad Goals #1) in Books
May 5, 2023
CLUELESS is the first book in the Squad Goals series and we start with Lexi - a male cheerleader - and Ryder. Lexi has been in love with Bad Boy Ryder for five years now and knows nothing can come of it but it's hard for him to change his heart. Ryder loves Kait, Lexi's sister, like a sister and has always noticed Lexi but didn't do anything about it until the day he did!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Partly because it was nice to read about male cheerleaders and how supportive each team was instead of the usual bitchiness and backstabbing that you get. And also Ryder - our not-so-bad boy. It may have taken him a while to catch on to what everyone else already knew but once he did, he was all in.
The story flowed naturally, as did the misunderstandings, easily sorted out by just taking a moment and figuring out what was important. These guys know what's what! There is also a great group of supporting characters that I am dying to hear more from.
The start of a great series and definitely recommended by me.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Passion Ignites (Dark Kings, #7) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Lexi won't stop until she finds the Red Eye that killed her friend but in her search she comes to the attention of not only the Red Eyed, evil Dark Fae but also bad boy Dragon King, Thorn.
When the Dark Fea realise she is immune to their powers they know she is a Dragon King mate and to catch a dragon they must trap Lexi.
I don't read much fantasy but I do love this series. The Dragon Kings are brave and sexy and will do anything to protect their mate while also protecting their secret from the Humans.
I do love Donna Grants writing, she makes her books easy to read and difficult to put down.
