David gemmell has always been my favourite heroic fantasy author, especially his Rigante series. I found this book rather slow moving, far fetched and hard to get into. Barring all that I did enjoy once it got going,although maybe wouldnt reccomend this one as much as some of his others.

Loved this book

I read the first three books in this series and absolutely loved them, so when these three came out I knew I must read them. The were great, each story was unique in its own way. Love them and can't wait to read more by this author.

Nah

I was expecting good things from this book but was quite disappointed. The romance wasn't as intense or as fulfilling as many other m/m books I've read have been, though the fact it was set in the UK gave it points from me.

I won't be continuing the series.

Without revealing too many spoilers, I just have to say this book within the series has made me the happiest. Delving more into the personal lives of Will and his cohorts, I'm extremely curious to know what's next and what new discoveries will be made about their past lives.

This novel immediately reminded me of Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series. The bucolic setting is similar as well as the structure and characters. I found this story a bit slow and drawn out. Although it is a good book and up to par with Penny’s novels, it is not for me.

Shakespeare's Christmas (A Lily Bard Mystery, #3)
Charlaine Harris | 1998 | Fiction & Poetry

7.3 (3 Ratings)
Book Rating
The weakest entry so far, but still not a bad read. The book takes place out of Shakespeare and in Lily's hometown of Bartley, which it was nice to learn more about her family and other background info. She's still prickly and ill-suited to normal human interactions, but she is trying. I hope by the end of the series, she'll be even closer to fully healing. Lily's relationship with Jack is interesting and weird, but they're still figuring things out, and have similar feelings towards committment it seems. The mystery could have been stretched into a longer book and not wrapped up so quickly, but it didn't bother me very much. In the end, it was a fast and easy story, and a good but not great third book in the Lily Bard series.

After Impact (After Impact #1)

8.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
After Impact was a great start to a new thought provoking series. Avalon brought interest to a new look of how the world may handle an asteroid destroying life on earth. I liked actually reading a book where a younger girl actually acted appropriately for her age and that she was intelligent. The book keeps you wondering how society will not only function being the last few thousand alive on earth and waking from cryo-sleep hoping to find the outside earth environment liveable. In addition to that, we work through a mysterious illness and disappearance of some of the lower class residence. Of course we also have a good mix of love interests too. Overall an excellent young adult book and it's a clean read! Definitely recommended. I can't wait to read the next in the series.

Evan Smoak is a former secret operative who now uses his training to help those in danger. But his latest client may be more than he can handle when someone tries to kill her at their first meeting. Can Evan keep her safe?

While the book seems to start slowly, it soon becomes apparent that everything is important to the story being told here. It quickly turns into a book you can’t put down with twists and action that leave you anxious for the next in the series. Evan can be a bit of a superhero, but the seeds are planted to fully flesh him out as this new series progresses, and I can’t wait to see that happen.
