Sam (74 KP) rated The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events #13) in Books
Mar 27, 2019
It only took me a few hours to read this, I was that excited to finally be reaching the last book in the series. And I wasn’t disappointed at all.
I sort of expected for the final book to be more of a roundup and answering all of the questions rather than being another story of a predicament the Baudelaires find themselves in. But it didn’t disappoint me that it didn’t jump straight to answering every question I’ve had in the series.
And in the end, most of my questions weren’t answered. But again, that didn’t disappoint me. I half expected the series to end in a way that was quite open ended and left the mystery hanging.
I enjoy the fact that I’m still trying to work out myself about VFD and all of the little secrets throughout the series. This series definitely isn’t going to leave my mind in a hurry.

Tifflynn032418 (59 KP) rated Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) in Books
Jul 17, 2018
I am huge fan of the lunar chronicles series. Just as the first book, scarlet surpassed my expectations. It's a refreshing and unique take on the fairy tale of little red riding hood. The book also continues with the story of Cinderella from the first novel of the series. The story keeps you interested the entire time and has simple twists and turns to keep you coming back for more. The characters are good kids but flawed in a way that lets you remember they are just like us, you cant help but love them all. The villain of the series is so vile the reader just cant wait to see her get what she deserves. I would recommend this series to anyone who loves the ya genre. It is also clean enough for my ten year old to read. I can not wait to read the next novel in the series: Cress.

Read the entire series from start to finish... Dark, sick, twisted, so, so wrong and yet SO good!? By far the darkest series I've ever read and was surely tough to read at times, yet I simply can't put it down. Its all here... beyond anything you could imagine... and more. I kept hearing about this series and finally got my hands on it and my god.. My heart broke over and over again until I simply couldn't take any more (and then grabbed the next book of course!?). You know those books where your heart races, your blood boils and you find yourself shaking uncontrollably as you have a panic attack while reading....well, this is THAT series from start to finish!? Holy mindf$%k!!! Could NOT put it down!! A seriously evil, beautiful, heart-wrenching, loving, torturous book!? This series will make you feel everything.. from rage to love. HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who loves a dark, dark read!
Suzi (55 KP) rated Shadowhunters and Downworlders: A Mortal Instruments Reader in Books

Good accompaniment to the series
Overall I think this is a great accompaniment to the shadowhunters series. It gives a view from the author on how she came to create and develop the series and its characters. The essays and reviews given by various authors provides an interesting view on how they perceived certain character behaviours, attributes or even just topics covered in the books.
In the audio book version however, a lot of words and names were (from my experiences and explanations within the series - from the books, film or show) are incorrect and that's a personal grate of mine so I would recommend only the physical copy if anyone else is slightly annoyed by things like this.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated A Storm of Swords: Part 1 Steel and Snow (Reissue) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
So far, this 3rd book has been my favorite of the series. It is very suspenseful. There are lots of deaths, so many that at one point I thought, "How can this series possibly keep going?" But as usual, George R.R. Martin has tricks up his sleeves. And let me say, that I didn't see any of them coming at all!
Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Dexter in the Dark (Dexter, #3) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
This installment of the Dexter series was a disappointment. It veered off the tried & true Dexter story line into one of ancient gods. Really!? It took me a lot longer to slog through, but it wasn't bad enough to keep me from continuing with the series. Here's to hoping Linsey has something better up his sleeve for the next book.
Ross (3284 KP) rated A Crown of Swords in Books
Sep 20, 2017
For me I think this was where the series really started to drag. So much time spent on describing horses, riding dresses and in-fighting between "sisters". Some fairly major events of the series occur in this book but so much of it is spent sorting out the weather. Some really exciting action scenes but dragged out over far too many pages.
graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated The Tidal Poole (Elizabeth I, #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Not the most plausible series, but it is entertaining and that's why it's called fiction. I did enjoy the first book better, but <i>The Tidal Poole</i> kept me reading and the mystery was well-done. If you're a history buff, better skip it, but if you enjoy reading just for the sake of reading, I recommend the series. :)

OMG I loved this book so much!
This series is like the Hunger Games combined with Jurassic Park! Its an easy smooth read with interesting characters, action and the whole package! I would recommend this to any YA fan that wants a new unputdownable trilogy... I will warn you though that when you finish the series it will break you!!
