Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Soul Stripper (Soul Stripper, #1) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
Wow. I have literally just finished reading this and I'm impressed.
In a way it reminded me of Richelle Mead's "Georgina Kincaid" series with the succubus and not wanting to sleep with the good guy but in other ways it didn't.
The storyline was both interesting and fun and I found myself needing to keep reading so I could find out who was killing the other succubi and I have to admit I wasn't disappointed--though I did guess half right.
I enjoyed it enough to keep reading the series and will look forward to the next book when it is released later in the year.
According to Wikipedia:
"A golem is an animated anthropomorphic being in Jewish folklore that is created entirely from inanimate matter (usually clay or mud) ... The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late-16th-century rabbi of Prague"
Modern readers might be more familiar with them from their inclusion in the later entries in Terry Pratchett's superlative Discworld series.
In this one, a Golem has been created and is terrorizing select parts of New York, with Montague and Strong called in to deal - reluctantly - with the threat it represents.

Continuing on from the first Dexter is under greater scrunity than ever before and has things spinning out of his control. More great revelations going back to his past unravel.
This is just as good if not better than the 1st series. If you missed Dexter when it was first on, like me, then definitely move it to the top of your watch list!

I wasnt sure about this for a long time. I started book three in the authors Throne of Glass series and had to put it on hold because I wasn't in the mood and that has to be about a year ago now and I still haven't picked it back up.
But this, though the start dragged so little, quickly pulled me in. Once she got taken by the fae--not my favourite creature to read about at all--I was quickly engrossed in it. The storyline was weaved together brilliantly and I was hooked.
I'm looking forward to reading more of this series but it'll have to wait till it gets cheaper in price, I think.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Never Too Far (Rosemary Beach, #2; Too Far, #2) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
This series is emotional and you get so engrossed in Blaire and Rush's story that you feel like you're in the story with them, seeing it all happen right in front of you.
I need to find out what happens in the end with these two but I've noticed that Woods' story is book three in the Rosemary Beach series, so should I read his story next or go straight into Forever Too Far?? HELP?!?!
