Alicia S (193 KP) rated Ghost (Boston Underworld, #3) in Books
Sep 28, 2018
What an incredibly fabulous book!! I devoured the first two books in the series and Alexei & Talia's story sucked me in from page one! My heart broke over and over for these two, both two haunted souls unable to move beyond their pasts. Struggling to feel worthy in anyone's eyes... Talia finds strength in his overpowering dominance and in her he finds solace. A dark yet incredibly beautiful book about two people who slowly come to realize that no matter how screwed up any of us are, we are all worthy of love and forgiveness. HIGHLY recommended book, series and author!! Five stars just aren't doing my heart any justice on this one!? ;-)

I believe
The Christmasaurus was wonderful book mixing the children's magic of christmas with dinosaurs, two things kids love. This, the second book in the series doesn't let the magic go, if anything this is a better story. Tom Fletcher manages to weave a complicated story about magic and time travel and yet still make it suitable for children and the illustrations make it even more gorgeous. This series has the potential to be made into a movie and become some of the best love Christmas characters in the world. My daughter loved this book, so did i. She is 8 and I am 40.

I find that most second books in a series tend to struggle a bit, especially if the series has more than three books. This is mainly due to there not being a natural arc for the individual book. Thankfully this was not the case with this book. Gwynne started strong with the first book, and has just bulked up. I will admit I did get lost at some points, but that's because the number of characters can be overwhelming at times. This however is no critism as the majority have their place, and I'm sure the ones that haven't quite done so already, will do in the next two books. Being it on!

In my top 5 favourite series'
I've read this book, and series so many times and I never get sick of it! I love Talia and Kael and their whole journey together. I love that I can be right there along with them and watch how the romance blossoms and get the butterflies along the way. Talia is such a strong character that I haven't really seen in any other books before. I love how she just transforms into the strong and beautiful woman we see in the last book. The twists and turns throughout the book are fantastic! Everytime we learn something new about a character we are suprised and no matter how many times I read it I will continue to be suprised! Chanda is a fantastic writer and I love her other series' too but this is by far my favourite.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Fall of Night (The Morganville Vampires, #14) in Books

As I've said from the start: This isn't my favourite series ever. BUT I have to admit that the books are easy to read and they can be quite addictive once you start reading.
When I read what was going to happen in this it kinda put me off. How can you leave Morganville and still be in the series? How am I supposed to cope without my favourite characters?
It turned out that I didn't have to worry at all. Many of my favourites turned up and it was still quite action packed.
The ending has left me all jittery as I know the next book is the last book EVER in this series and I'm intrigued as to why Hannah has just done what she has.
Luckily I have the last book and will be starting it as soon as I post this. :)

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Dark Alpha's Demand: A Reaper Novel in Books
Feb 13, 2018
I don't recommend this as a stand alone, there's just too much going on from previous books in the reaper series and also the fabulous dragon king series. Saying that, this is the first book I've read in the reaper series and I did enjoy it. I'm going to have to read the others to get a few things straight and I'm loving death, who'd have thought he'd be a she! Talin and Neve is a great story and I hope the evil Bran gets what's coming to him soon
