Mariafrancesca (30 KP) rated A Discovery of Witches - Season 1 in TV
Mar 31, 2019
Say what you want but a girl needs her share of brooding vampires and this shows provides just that. I knew the book but I wasn’t very keen to continue the series as I didn’t like reading from her POV, but I always loved the mythology the author built and a TV series is perfect for me.
The locations are amazing (even though I’ve never seen Venice so empty xD) and the story is compelling. Can’t wait for the second season!

Alexandria (2 KP) rated Tower Of Dawn in Books
Jan 24, 2018
I thought this book would ruin the Throne of Glass series as Chaol was one of my least favourite characters up to that point but it astounded me in being really gripping, following both chaols problems as well as Nesryn and new character Yrene Towers who are both far more interesting characters than Chaol in my opinion. As always Sarah J Maas writes beautifully with plots you could never hope to see coming. Can't wait for the next installment in the series.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Some Like It Hot-Buttered (Double Feature Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A new series from a favorite author left me a little cold. I didn't find it nearly as funny as his old books, and the mystery was weak. What's funny about this is the series centers around the owner of a comedy movie theater. Owner Elliot Freed investigates when a man is poisoned by his pop corn during the nightly double feature.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated The Chocolate Jewel Case (A Chocoholic Mystery, #7) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Lee and Joe are starting off their married life with a house full of guests. But that's nothing compared to a string of burglaries and the man showing up claiming to be Joe's long dead father. I missed many of the series regulars, and the plot wandered around a big before it really took off. Fans of the series will enjoy it.

Everyone is surprised when Uncle Gus shows up to the Beeseman/Herman family reunion. No one has heard from him since he left Lake Eden 30 years ago. But the next morning, Hannah finds him murdered. Which relative wasn't all that happy to see him? This is a strong entry in the series that will absolutely please the series' fans.

Ashley Catron (66 KP) rated Rebecca's Lost Journals, Volume 4: My Master in Books
Mar 14, 2018
As the last novella in the "Lost Journals" set, "My Master" definitely takes the cake. The journals as a whole really add extra depth to the mystery behind Rebecca's disappearance, and really makes you wonder, 'Why did she leave? Is she okay?' It also sets up nicely for the second book in the "Inside Out" series, "Being Me", if you read it in the correct reading order. While the journals are not needed to understand the series, it definitely helps answer some questions.

Did the book proud
I was a fan of the comics so when I heard they were making a series I was apprehensive and excited. Would they ruin it or create a gem?
Well here it is and my god it is good. I can't wait for the next series. The casting is incredible, the story makes you very uncomfortable and let's be honest: if normal humans git super powers then this is what they would be like! Mainly arseholes.

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Department of Sensitive Crimes (Detective Varg #1) in Books
Jul 21, 2019
This is the first novel in the Detective Varg series by McCall Smith. It's lighthearted (as much as a mystery novel can be), and the polar-opposite of nordic noir. The novel is written as a series of short stories, and it was a very quick read. Half of me thinks that this was written purely as a satire of nordic noir, without grisly deaths and violence against women.
I received this book from the Penguin First to Read program (RIP).
