Cute concept
This was a cute concept and has such potential to be a good story. I really do enjoy age play and the Daddy/little dynamic. What would have increased the rating for me, though, was if the book was expanded to add in more details and more of the Daddy/little interaction.

I would have also liked to see the interaction between the two littles of the story as well as more on how the lives of both Daddy and little progress. The other thing I would definitely suggest to the author is a good editor, or at least a decent beta reader and/or proofreader.

This is a simple yet genius format for a game. It is a PvP battle were the last one standing claims the Victory Royale. There are different modes available so should be something to suit everyone. You can play solo or buddy up with friends in duos or squads. If you want a battle on a bigger scale there is a 50 v 50 challenge. The game can be quite glitchy at times but bare in mind it is still a Beta version so there are always updates from Epic Games to improve the gameplay.

Man, the Beta Male has some problems. Charlie Asher suddenly finds himself a widower with a newborn child. If that wasn't enough change in his life, he finds out that he has a new job: Death.
A book about grief, and processing death, Moore's supernatural take on the human soul is unique.
It does drop more F-bombs then I was prepared for; although I'm not sure why since he tends to curse quite often in the other books I've read and I would do the same if I ever found myself in that position.
This book is full of humor and wit, it is also more melancholy as well.

This game is filled with a lot of action, whether it be avoiding hordes of monsters, or sneaking up on players and killing them. This game feels very real and has a natural vibe to it. The game just got released to the public, but I am sure it will be one (1 more)
The game just got released to the public, but I am sure it will be one of the most played games of 2018.
Since the game is currently in beta, the servers are not the most reliable and tend to crash once in a while. There are also some bugs that come up some times, but nothing big. (0 more)
Phenomenal New Game
I would highly recommend this game to suspense and action lovers.

"There is an embarrassing story flying around about me faking appendicitis when I was eleven years old. Sadly, it’s true. The upshot of the experience is that whilst I was in hospital my parents bought a beta VCR player. So on the way home after being released, we stopped at a very small garage (or gas station) which had a few shelves of movies. There were no video stores yet. We hired The Sound of Music for two weeks and I watched it repeatedly, several times a day, while I recovered. Needless to say, I know every word and love it dearly. I guess I love the way the family slowly embraces Maria. She has such a good heart, and it finds the perfect home. How do you solve a problem like Maria?!"

In-game transactions steep (0 more)
This game is still relatively new, possibly in its beta testing still but it's really enjoyable and there is very little I can think of that's bad. The graphics and animations are great, there are many little quests to complete, including daily objectives, and you can find yourself lost in it for a long time. The rewards for completing each battle, each quest, are worth the time spent, which with then get plowed back in to the characters you are trying to build up.
However, the load screen does seem to take more than a minute or so to load, and the mini transactions within the game are a little steep. Other than that it's really enjoyable. I live watching all the different animations as each character attacks one another. So far, farmer Hector dropping a pumpkin on the enemy's head is my favourite!

Tutorial
Dauntless+dash of monster Hunter+ rpg mmo=
I want to start out by saying if it wasn't for Xbox game share I never would have discovered dauntless. I saw my buddy had downloaded it so I decided to give it a go.

At first glance I was a little put off since it was made by epic, had fortnite looking character models and I didn't know anything about the game. And right now I'm a little burnt out on the fortnite craze.

After about 10mins of playtime, I found myself really enjoying the hunting aspect of the game. The monsters are huge and sometimes they have little ones around them that you have to kill before attacking the bigger ones. The battles range from 5min to 30min so far which is pretty nice depending on your time constraints.

The world hub that you visit in between hunts is fairly decent sized and full of human characters. They have this cool little icon feature where you can see if the player is on pc or Xbox. The hub is full of what you would expect from an RPG games as a service title. It has your typical weapon master, grenade master, potions master, and armor master. And of course looped into all of those are micro transactions for skins and dye packs etc.

Which if you're like me you don't really care about customizing the color of your hat etc. Enough to spend actual money on.

I've only played about 4 hrs of dauntless and so far I'm pretty into it. I do feel like eventually the grind will get repetitive but I will update once I have at least 10hrs put into it. As I mentioned in my tags it is in a beta stage so don't be surprised from some lag from time to time or quests not showing on the screen as completed because even tho it doesn't show, it does complete them

I've been Natalie's plot tester/beta reader with this, as well as it's proof reader, from early on and I really enjoyed it, now I've finally gotten to read it's ending.

The thing with Natalie is she always come up with something original. This is the first time I've read a book, or even heard of a book, about a team of half angels/half humans who are trained by angels to takeout demons. The same could be said about her Patroness series; once again, I've never read anything like it. That's what I like about her books: they're different.

I don't want to give too much away but this is a story of good (angels) versus evil (demons) to put it simply. The struggle of eighteen year old Lillian as she realises her life is about to change whether she wants it to or not and her journey from bookworm to fearless leader with the help of her Ivory Guard and Raz, the angel of secrets.

I really enjoyed it, like I did her Patroness series and I'm looking forward to reading the second book in the series, Ebony Fight, to see how everything works out for her and her team.

This is a real friends-to-lovers story, complete with hidden feelings on one side. However, what made this story exceptional to me is the way in which it is written and the believable, likeable characters that Megan Linden gives us. Told from dual points of view, you hear from both Tyler and Kevin as they realise how deep their feelings for each other are, and what this means as one is an Alpha's Son, whilst the other is a lone wolf.

I loved how it was Mom B, the Beta, who spoke to Kevin and gave him the reassurance he needed. It wasn't just swept under the carpet in a "love conquers all" way. No, he was told that loving a Harrington was tough, but it was worth it!

This novella has it all - friendship, romance, it has some hot scenes without being gratuitous, and it has definitely left me wanting more. Absolutely adored this book and I'm looking forward to returning to Harrington Hills as soon as I can. Highly recommended.

Escape From Tarkov
Escape From Tarkov
2016 | Role-Playing, Shooter
Incredibly in depth (4 more)
RPG elements mixed into an FPS
Fantastic graphics
Nerve wracking, edge of the seat gameplay
High risk high reward mechanics
Very steep learning curve with no real guidance (0 more)
A new take on the generic fps
Whilst on the face of it Escape from Tarkov look like just another FPS game in a sea of countless it is so much more!

Not only are the FPS elements realistic and highly challenging but the added element of you keep what you escape with and you lose it all if you die really does make for some nerve wracking gameplay as you seek to either kill are avoid the myriad of other players and NPC's.


Coupled with the FPS is an RPG elements where you can upgrade and improve your characters abilities along side the buying and selling of the parts you escape with to purchase better protective gear, guns and equipment.


The customisation options alone are insane with many weapons having a dozen or more options to improve them and style them to how you want to play as a result the game does have a very steep learning curve but is absolutely worth the effort.


The only "negatives" to this are the fact the game is still in beta and sometimes suffers from lagging and currently has limitations on the map locations available and the current abilities you can unlock.


Easily a recommended game!
