For me, this was nowhere near as good as the previous four books. Jason didn't ooze sensuality like Raphael and Dmitri did and it took too long for me to get into the book, which is why it's taken me 13 days to read instead of the two/three the previous book did.
This one didn't focus on the relationship as such, and instead focused on the things happening in Neha's court. Admittedly it didnt hold my attention too much, until we uncovered who was behind it and then i was surprised and kinda glad for Mahiya, but it was still kinda blah.
I have the next book in the series and will be reading it very soon.

Get a Move On, Neuron! by Philip R. Kennedy presents a basic description of brain function to young readers who enjoy science.
Throughout the book the reader goes on a tour of the brain learning about different brain functions. The reader learn about some interesting issues during the tour; such as, memory, self-awareness, and emotions. Each brief chapter ends with a series of questions that recap and review the material. I find the questions a bit distracting since the answers are not provided. The illustrations are nice and helpful. The illustrations are not overly busy, in fact, they help emphasize the topic being discussed. A friendly looking neuron is the "instructor".
Young readers who enjoy science will enjoy this book and will learn a lot of interesting brain facts from this book. This book could be used within the science classroom for going beyond the lesson when discussing brain function.
I give this book 3/5 stars being of the continual repetition which caused the book to come off as boring at times.
I received this book from Choice Publishing via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Merissa (12969 KP) rated Carnal Knowledge (A Deadly Sins Novel #2) in Books
Aug 13, 2020
Carnal Knowledge is the second book in the Deadly Sins series but it can be read as a standalone, as I did.
This is a suspenseful and paranoid book, making the reader wonder who the killer is at every turn. It could be a multitude of people but you are kept guessing until the end. I thought I had it right but was confused about a certain issue, although that was sorted out in the end.
The characters are all sympathetic to the issues our main female is going through but you just can't help the suspicion that blooms. The situations and attitudes that arise in this book are all too believable which make this a brilliant and horrible book to read.
This book is present tense, written by Wren, which gives you the perfect insight into what is going on with her. If you like tense, suspenseful, and sometimes, shocking thrillers, then I have no hesitation in recommending it to you. Absolutely brilliant.

After reading Book 1, I thought I knew what to expect from this book. I knew that it would be choppy, quick moving and without time to fully appreciate the depth of the storyline. I know this style of writing suits some people but after going through two books of it, it is enough for me.
This book is full of dialogue and action, both between the sheets and out. Some react to situations in the way you would expect whilst others throw a curveball at you.
My problem with the book (and it is MY problem, you may not find the same) is that I just don't connect with the characters and therefore I don't care. You may read this book and absolutely love it as so many others have before me. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself. As for me, I'm calling it quits. I won't be reading any further in this series.

This jumps us right back into the story after the end of the first. If you have not read the first book one should really begin there.
In the second book we get a new voice along with Bel and it is a refreshing addition. New threats are gained just as old are defeated. Petra is added as the second voice. I had thought it would be Col her fiance but I found having Petra was better. She sounded a bit like Bel as the author didn't do a great job of differentiating the differences in personality but it was still refreshing to see a different POV.
As with the first book you need to hang in there for the first part in order to get to the fast paced action. That happens later in the book. I understand why two POV were needed as the book continued. Bel became quite hard to follow by the end of the book.
A good addition to the series that revolves around politics, marriage, and friendship.

Lindsay (1760 KP) rated Journey to Munich (Maisie Dobbs #12) in Books
Feb 15, 2018 (Updated Apr 9, 2019)
What a journey this book takes you on. This book takes you back to WW2 a bit and Nazi time. What will happen to Maisie Dobbs? The story gets even better as you read.
Why is everything a secret? They need to get a British man home from Munch. Will that happen? Maisie got to go to Germany as a family member of the man who being held by Hitler.
Maisie needs to be careful and Also protected. Will she return back home safe or will she be caught?
Jacqueline Winspear has become one of my favorite authors with the first book that I got to review. I will be looking for more of her books. I love to finish off the rest of the books in this series. She captured my attention the min you start reading. It takes a bit before getting to the story of a book. She gives a little background about Maisie Dobbs from the earlier book and continues on in this book.
