It's been a while since i read the first three books in this series but i remember loving them in their twisted ways so a chance to jump back into the world of Tarrick and Matthew was a big YES!

Though Matthew is only mentioned in passing, Tarrick, Sam and Jet take centre stage. It was a fun little romp and has got me very excited for the next book in the series!
  
I don't know if it's because it's been so long since I read the first book in this series; Echo and Noah's, or the shortness of this novella/short story but I didn't remember the characters or feel that interested in the story. The best bit for me was probably the paintball bit near the end.

I have the next two books in the series but I won't be reading them yet.
  
Hmm...I enjoyed some bits of this book, others bored me into skipping entire paragraphs. Also the lack of a love interest annoyed me. I like romance in my books and I think Charlie needed a guy in this.

Not sure if I'll be continuing the series.

P.S. Also since this series doesn't seem to be completed, or being completed anytime soon, that has put me reading any more of the books.

Another hilarious bounty hunter romp with Stephanie Plum. It seems like bad luck follows her around & hilarity ensues. This book didn't disappoint on any of these fronts. I am officially hooked on this series. I can't wait to get started on the next one.

A good old fashioned school story
The first book in the Malory Towers series. One of my favorite books as a child and still loved today. It's very much set in the 1940's but it mostly adds to the charm.
  
Love this series and it gets better and better. I love the characters and how each set shows up in the next book. Love how the women bond and the men fall...love the powers arriving in the books and they are just awesome,

Once again, I felt the final volume dragged at times. But it came together for a great climax that brought everything from the series together

A short novella provides a fun mystery. Then you get tons of recipes for many complete meals. Different for the series but still fun.

This book was just plain fun. It was smart and sarcastic and I loved the humour. I loved that Hawkeye was in it too but honestly Bobbi was the star as she should be. I loved it. Looking forward to the next in the series.
