TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated The Secret Life of Lady Evangeline (Secrets, #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
This is my first time reading a book by Jan Davis Warren! The Secret Life of Lady Evangeline is the first book in her new Secrets series. From the very first pages this book was an adventure that I did not want to put down.
Lady Evangeline was a remarkably strong women that I wish I could be! She faced a lot of trials and came out with a deeper understanding of the world around her. All the characters in the book were developed at a consistent pace and were interesting. I am hoping that the other books in the series touch on some of the other characters mentioned in this book as Id love to know their stories!
Overall, this story kind of seemed like a cross between Robin Hood and a Princess fairy tale. I enjoyed the storyline. Most of it was not too farfetched, but rather real events brought to life before your eyes. Entertaining and captivating.
give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the attention-grabbing story, the character growth, and for making me anticipate reading more books from this author!

Merissa (13780 KP) rated Fated Always (The Fated Series #4) in Books
Aug 25, 2020
Fated Always is the fourth book in The Fated Series and we meet up with Sawyer and Tala, best friends forever, as they try to navigate the stormy waters of friendship turned something more. Add to that, Tala has the ability to speak and understand the wolves. One fly in the mixture is Tala's boyfriend, Derrick Sloane.
Although this is the fourth book in the series, you can read it as a standalone. I have only read book three before this, and Jenna and Gabe make appearances in here too, but nothing that you 'need' to know to follow this story.
The story is easy to follow, with a few red herrings to throw you off course. The scenes, characters, and situations are clear enough to enable the reader to see them clearly.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have no hesitation in recommending it. I thought the supernatural element was brilliant but I just would have loved to find out about the mysterious wolf before I finished Tala and Sawyer's book!

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Real Deadwood in Books
Jan 15, 2018
This was a quick read. I didn't like how the author kept referring to the HBO series throughout the book. It took away from the information. That being said, this was a good starter to the history of Deadwood & the variety of characters that roamed her streets, saloons, & brothels.

Classic Harris, introducing Hannibal Lecter
Having watched the entire film series, the book is a fantastic background to Dollahyde's insanity. There is much more detail to his experiences as a child which gives his personality more of a well rounded character. There is no villain like Hannibal Lecter.
Mothergamer (1616 KP) rated Storm Front: The Dresden Files, Book 1 in Books
Aug 31, 2017
One of my favorite book series. Interesting characters and really good story. Sometimes the tone is dark, but there are great moments of humor in it too. There are also beautiful emotional moments as well which make you care about the characters a great deal. A very good read.

Mar 9, 2018
Hannah finds another dead body, this time the man running the local Christmas tree lot. Yeah, the series is stuck in a rut, but I still really enjoy them.

Mar 9, 2018
Identical twins solve a murder told first person in alternating chapters. Yes, it's a gimmick, but the twin authors pull it off perfectly. The start of a delightful series.
