Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated A Fistful of Charms (The Hollows, #4) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I'm still in a bit of a rut in relation to paranormal books but I was determined to finish this, especially considering I'd been reading it for over two weeks--which is ridiculous when I think the third book in the series took me 2/3 days.
I enjoyed it the more I read and reading more of Rachel, Ivy and Jenks was nice. They get themselves into some right situations at times.
I'm not going to read any more of the series yet.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Death Rejoices (The Marnie Baranuik Files #2) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
4.5 stars.
I still love this series.
Witty, paranormal, adventure/mysteries with Marnie and the team. If you haven't read this series yet and like the sound of it, I definitely recommend you buy it.
Long but oh, so good.
P.S. I'm still holding out for a Mark Batten/Marnie Baranuik full on romance--maybe possibly with Harry not minding sharing her or not in the frame at all, though I can't see that happening. Maybe in book three which I am dying to buy!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Heller's Revenge (Heller, #2) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
I'm still so intrigued by this series. The will they/won't they of Heller and Tilly. It's obvious they both want to, and I'm quite literally begging them to!, but they're resisting--well Tilly's resisting--and it's driving me mad!
I felt like we missed out on more bonding time with Tilly, Niq and Daniel. They make such a cute trio with their teasing and general messing around. But once again i am straight off to buy book 3 in the series to see what happens next.

Wow.
I have adored this series since the first book. So much happens. Love. Friendship. Death. So much time passes.
I loved all the Nephilim, all for different reasons, and I have a feeling this story will stay with me for a while.
A classic tale of good versus evil with a brilliant plot and characters. I loved the ending, some bits were sad and others were lovely. The romance was uplifting.
If you haven't read this series yet, then I definitely recommend you do.
AMAZING!

Sep 5, 2019
I think this is my ninth book by the author and I have to admit, my least favourite.
I didn't gel with the characters like in the Gallagher Girls or Heist Society series. The storyline wasn't as engaging for me as young criminal minds or girl spy schools.
If I'm brutally honest I got bored in places but I have to admit that like all the authors work I found it quite a quick read.
I haven't decided as of yet if I'll continue the series.

Story times!
Lore narrated by Aaron Mahnke is awesome. With a book series, an Amazon video series and this podcast Aaron has a voice that adds an extra creep factor to the scary stories based in true life he tells. At times, I get goosebumps listening to the history and folklore surrounding places and things of the past. A must hear episode is episode 15: Unboxed. The story of Robert the Doll, who inspired the Chucky series and his original owner of the same name, is one of the creepiest. This story of inspired me to drag three other unknowing adults through a museum in Key West. Be sure no pictures exist of this venture.

Very quickly becoming one of my favorite mystery/PI series.
I was a bit late coming to the Dan Reno series by Dave Stanton and I'll surely be catching up quickly! As a lover of both crime stories and TV shows, I'm left feeling like every book is like THE best episode of your favorite crime show. Never a dull moment, Dan's laid-back attitude has me laughing every time and I can't help but both laugh and shake my head at Cody constantly. Quick-paced, yet easy to follow, I couldn't put this one down and finished it in a day. Very quickly becoming one of my favorite mystery/PI series.

Smolder (Underground Encounters #1) by Lisa Carlisle
Smolder is the first book in the Underground Encounters series, and we start off this new series with a blast - quite literally! Nike, and her best friend Maya, are the only two firefighters where they work, and they both like 'alternative' music. So whenever they get some time off, they go to Vamps, the best 'alternative' club. Nike is a very shy person, which is often mistaken for her being bitchy. So when she sees the man she has been lusting after from the local rock-climbing club at Vamps, she stumbles over her words. Things move quickly between them, and the story really kicks in.
This is a fast-paced novella, and that really is my only complaint about this book! I would have loved to have known more. I loved Nike, and her common-sense, no-nonsense, approach to something that she seriously wasn't expecting. Michel is a perfect partner for her, a case of opposites attracting. With attraction, danger, lust, and supernaturals, this book was very well written, drawing the reader into the world without any trouble. There were no editing or grammatical errors that I noticed, and I thoroughly enjoyed this first novella. Looking forward to the next book in this series. Definitely recommended by me.
