Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Raising Innocence (Rylee Adamson, #3) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
I like this series.
Rylee kicks arse!
Alex has really started growing on me again.
O'Shea... *sigh* I would have liked to see more of him but I understand that he's going through a lot mentally and Milly isn't bloody helping!
Looking forward to the next book to see what Rylee is going to do to get O'Shea back in her life after him going AWOL.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Curse of Tenth Grave (Charley Davidson, #10) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
I'm glad Charley has her memories back and that we're back in New Mexico. Everything was back to how it was pre-amnesia--thank God! All the gang are back and new revelations are aplenty. The humour/camaraderie was back in full force.
I think that it's just been that long since I read book 9 that my love of this series has waned a little.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Feast of Fools (The Morganville Vampires, #4) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Yet another fast, fun, and easy read featuring Claire, her friends, and the town of Morganville (and all it's vampy inhabitants!). I enjoyed this foray and was pleasantly surprised the 'rental units' weren't in it much at all. The story held my attention and I do look forward to the next installment. However, I am so over the cliff-hanger endings. Does Ms. Caine think teenagers won't read the next book if there isn't that 'to be continued...' aspect of a T.V. show? Because I remember as a teen I did <i>not</i> need that incentive to read the next book in a series, and frankly, it's kind of insulting. There is a way to tie up a book <i>and</i> leave the reader (even a young adult *gasp*) wanting to read the book. I wish the author would realize that.
graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter, #4) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Another great book in the Dark-Hunter series! The love story was nicely done, and both Cassandra and Wulf were great characters. My only minor complaint is that some of the dialogue was awkward and stilted, the modern references were unnecessary (Britney Spears, etc. I always hate that in a book, it makes it feel so dated), and the book had a few editing problems (for example, in Elysia, one of the Apollites was called a Daimon). Other than that, the book was terrific. I especially liked how Sherrilyn Kenyon made Apollites and Daimons more, for lack of a better word, human. I really can't believe how many more books Ms. Kenyon can write, and how many directions she can go into, with the world(s) she has created - it could go on forever - or at least we can hope so! :)

Auburn (57 KP) rated Finding Kyler (The Kennedy Boys, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
The good: Romance, twists, turns, brooding Kyle, and damaged Faye. The plot to this book is wonderfully well written. It brings you into the Kennedy family and makes you care for not just the main characters but the other boys in the family. Add on the forbidden cousin relationship and you have a story you won't want to put down. The bombshell cliffhanger insures you will be heading to the next book ASAP to find out what will happen.
The bad: I had a hard time with the whole cousin thing for a lot of the book. But if you can get past that the steamy push pull is pretty well done.
The epilogue: This book is for fans of the Royals series as well as anyone who enjoys a good angst ridden push pull relationship.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Fifty Shades Darker in Books
Jul 10, 2018
This was another good read from E.L. James. I thought that it was well done. The book seemed to flow better than the last book and I found myself enjoying it more.
I think my favorite part of the books were the emails. They seemed to bring the characters to life. I think that this is a guilty pleasures book. I definitely did not read it for the writing styles.
Like I said previously with the first in the series, the characters are likable. I like the fact that the characters do have flaws. It makes it easy for the reader to relate to them.
I would have liked less sex. The reason I say that is that in each chapter there were at least two sex scenes. Sometimes less is more.
All in all, this book was enjoyable.

Otway93 (580 KP) rated Resident Evil Volume I: The Umbrella Conspiracy in Books

Detail
Nostalgic
An excellent novelisation of a classic game.
I thoroughly enjoyed S.D. Perry's 1st volume of her seven book Resident Evil series.
The book not only stayed true to the original game, and managed to not miss a single detail, but somehow goes into more detail without inventing her own non-canonical parts of the story.
The book brings a great sense of nostalgia, a throwback to the day you first played the game, and the most nostalgic part is Barry's famous "Jill sandwich" line, that Perry keeps intact.
My only criticism is the narration, the way the reader actually reads the book. Sometimes characters appear to be breaking the fourth wall, answering to the author, distracting you from the tension the author has just created.
All in all a good read!
