I love this series!
Dex and Sloane... *sigh* The way their relationship is progressing so sweetly in each book. I'm so happy for them. The banter and, well, everything! It's brilliantly written
The relationships between two other partners is driving me a little mad too. Ash and Cael and Hobbs and Calvin. What's going on with you guys?!
I've gone and bought book 4 but I think I'm going to change it up a little first and read something else.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated More Than Jamie Baker (Jamie Baker #2) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
I loved the first book in this series, giving it 4.5 stars. This one fell a little short for me. It still had some awesome Jamie and Ryan moments but the rest of the storyline didn't really tempt me in. The superhero bit was, I guess, then next logical step but I wasn't that thrilled by the idea of it. Neither about Teddy's appearance.
I can't not read the last book but I'm not in that much of a hurry to do so.

It's been almost 18 month since I read the first book in this series and I'd forgotten pretty much everything that went on, though some of it came back to me as I read this.
I gave the first book 5 stars but really struggled with the style of this. My tastes have probably changed in the last year but it felt rather stilted and unlike other books we didn't really get a recap of previous events.
Not for me.

Meh
This is my fourth book by the author. Two I've loved, two not so much, including this one. It was just too much history and not enough relationship building for me so by the end when they got down to the sex part I wasn't even interested and skipped it. And sometimes that's the best bit!
I liked the idea behind it but it fell short for me. I don't think I'll be reading the next book in the series.

I wish I enjoyed this as much as the first book; I did enjoy it more than the second. The conclusion that is still, in many ways, a cliffhanger leaves me satisfied enough that I don't feel the urgent need to read the next book, especially considering it will be from Wyatt's point of view, but allows that option to re!ain open in the future. For me this series started out strong but ended much weaker than I hoped for.

If you haven't yet read any Jennifer L Armentrout then your missing out!
Jennifer writing is so easy to get lost in whether your reading her Young Adult, New Adult or General fiction she has the ability to capture the reader better than most authors I've ever read.
The Titan Series is the Sequal to Jennifer Covanant series. If you haven't yet read Covanant please read it especially if you love Greek mythology. Covanant follows a very empowered amazing female lead called Alexandra Andros where as The Return follows Seth.
Seth is an extremely complex and amazing character if you have read the Covanant series you know Seth started out as a egoticial hard man Apolloyon who through the series change due to Alexs influence.
The Return Seth no longer has Alex as his conscious and guide. Seth has to repent for his mid deeds from the covanant series and it doesn't help he suddenly has feeling for his new charge. I love this book a lot not as much as the original Covanant series but it still amazing all the same plus Seth and Apollo arguments egos and bitch fighting can keep me amused for days.

Reaping Another Great Mystery
When the von Tresslers moved to town, they didn’t make the residents of Winsome, Pennsylvania, very happy. They’ve mostly kept to themselves except when they were pushing to do things their way. Now, David von Tressler has died, and most of the mourners are from out of town. That includes three women that Megan Sawyer runs into at the local nursery. Shortly after Megan meets them, one of the women disappears. Then a body turns up at Megan’s farm. What is going on?
I was thrilled to see another entry in this great series, and I wasn’t disappointed. The mystery is strong. It starts quickly and there are plenty of twists and turns before we reach the end. The characters continue to be wonderful. We got updates on the series regulars and the new characters were well developed. There’s nothing here that spoils previous books in the series, so you could jump in here, but to fully appreciate the character growth, I do recommend reading the series in order. This series is more of a traditional mystery than a lighter cozy, but as long as you know that going in, you’ll be fine. I definitely recommend this book and the entire series.

Laura Doe (1350 KP) rated Codename Villanelle (Killing Eve #1) in Books
Jan 16, 2022
Having read this book previously, I knew that I was going to enjoy it whilst refreshing my memory to continue the series, but I forgot just how much I enjoyed it the first time around.
I love the Killing Eve TV show that is based on the books and that’s what drew me to the books in the first place, but I find that these are so much better (as is usually the way when things are adapted for TV series or films). The book goes into so much more depth about who Villanelle is and who she was before she became the lethal assassin that we now know her as.
Villanelle has quite a few flashbacks of her previous life which gives us the insight into how she came to be and how she came to choose her new name. I find it fascinating reading through her flashbacks as it shows you exactly what shaped her growing up and that becoming an assassin actually saved her from a worse fate.
We also meet Eve and follow her through a number of cases before she settles on a female assassin that is killing people who don’t seem to be connected. Towards the end of the book we meet her full team, who I think will play a prominent part in the sequel book.
I’m so glad that I decided to refresh my memory by reading this book again before starting on the second in the series. Luke Jenning’s writing flows beautifully that I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one sitting.
