Merissa (14202 KP) rated The Witching Pen (The Witching Pen Novellas, #1) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

This is the full length story of Elena and Karl and it starts when Karl is 27. For a long time, Elena and Karl have kept their relationship purely platonic due to circumstances "beyond their control" but things are about to change.

This story is full of action, romance, drama and suspense. You find out little snippets as you read along and the characters are built up. There is no insta-love in this book, just a deep and true friendship that could always have been something more if things had been different.

Absolutely brilliant and an ending which definitely makes you reach for the next book in the series!

Light and enjoyable

As chick lit books go, this is fairly good. Yes it’s a little cheesy and it’s beyond predictable, but it’s well written and easy to connect with all 3 of the main characters in some way across the course of the book. They all have flaws, lots of them in some cases, and there are times when some of their actions become very frustrating. That said, it was a light hearted and sweet book that was quick and enjoyable to read. Not one I’d rush to recommend unless you're into these sorts of books - for me it was just a quick read before moving onto something more serious.

Wow!

Basically, without going into too much detail about the plot it’s about newly married Jane Forrester becomes a social worker in 1960’s Grace County she encounters families that are poor beyond her comprehension, events occur that will change her and the families lives forever.

It’s slightly depressing but the story is SO good and the ends justifies the means, literally! I don’t know why I seem to review books that end up making me cry, I guess I’m just a big softy. It’s not a romantic story, it’s political for the time. It’s worth reading if just for the ending!

The Greater Good

Saw VI- im sad that im almost done with the frachise, i would want to rewatch it again sometime soon in the near future. Like i said in prevous reviews- i love the story line, the twist and turns throughtout the story line, the charcters and the endings.

The Plot: With Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) still directing events from beyond the grave, Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) emerges as the heir to the killer's twisted legacy. But as the FBI closes in, Hoffman sets in motion a game that is designed to reveal Jigsaw's grand scheme.

A must watch franchise, if you havent seen it yet.

Third entry in Jack Campbell's (or should I say John G Hemry, to give him his real name?) 'Genesis Fleet' series, and I've lost count of how many novels there are now in what I'm going to call the various Geary-verse series.

(That's those in 'The Lost Fleet', 'The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier', 'The Lost Stars' and now 'The Genesis Fleet')

All of which, I have to say, I've enjoyed, even if they are now getting a little bit formulaic: 'real time' space battles, last stands against seemingly impossible odds and politics all rolled up into one.

If it ain't broke, however …
