Merissa (12358 KP) rated All Hallows' Moon (Seasons of the Moon #2) in Books

Jul 31, 2017

All Hallows' Moon (Seasons of the Moon #2) by S.M. Reine

The second book in the series follows closely and seamlessly from the first book. Rylie has moved to her aunt's in the country as a) she feels more comfortable in the country now and b) she thinks it will be safer as she is still struggling with trying to live with the wolf inside her. Seth makes a reappearance and it also shows just how you CAN'T choose your family!

The story is once again excellently written, the characters become more in depth and well-rounded and the pace is once again very well paced and smooth.

Book 3 is ready to start tonight!

Prudence (The Custard Protocol, #1)

Book Rating

I absolutely adore Prudence, both the book and the girl. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about it other than I wish I had the next book in the series right now, because I’m quite unhappy to leave her world.

Gail Carriger has a knack for making incredible characters full of life and wit and hilarity. Every story I’ve ever read by her has made me want to jump right into the book and live there. It doesn’t even matter which character I’d be, as long as I was there. Added to that is her eloquent, witty, and distinct writing style. I wholeheartedly recommend Prudence to any fan of YA fiction, drama, romance, adventure, or supernatural adventures in an air ship.

Demi (22 KP) rated Big Little Lies - Season 1 in TV

Amazing

When there's a book, I almost always read it first. I made an exception for Big Little Lies after I saw the trailer. The cinematography, the pacing, the acting were all so compelling in the ads alone that I held off on the book. I'm so glad I did. Everything about the series was pitch perfect. The performances were stellar. Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman were phenomenal. It was gorgeously shot. The music was atmospheric, and the setting--different from the one in the book--fit the story perfectly. The writing was very well done--the kind of mystery you congratulate yourself for figuring out except for one little piece (it's designed that way, and quite elegantly). One of the season's best shows.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated The Wig in the Window (Young and Yang, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

This first in a new Middle Grade mystery series introduces us to two seventh graders who have decided they want to work for the FBI. They are practicing by spying on their neighbors, but the game turns serious when they see a neighbor committing a crime. Things may not be what they seem. Or they might be in some serious danger.

The book pulled me in with great main characters and a plot that gets very suspenseful as the book progresses. The target audience will definitely love it, and any adult who enjoys a good mystery should pick it up, too.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Raging Heat (Nikki Heat, #6) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

With Hurricane Sandy bearing down on NYC, Nikki is racing to solve the murder of a man who fell from a plane. Are the clues leading to a powerful politician? Or is she ignoring the true trail and the clues that her boyfriend Rook is finding?

While there are scenes and lines that fans of Castle will love, this book works well as a mystery on its own. And the arrival of Sandy, while predictably timed, does add a great new layer to the story. Some interesting character development and this book is another winner is one of the most brilliant tie in series of all time.
