Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Demons at Deadnight (Divinicus Nex Chronicles, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Enjoyed this
I loved Aurora's voice from the beginning. That first chapter really set the tone for me and I didn't want to put the book down.
Admittedly, I got a little confused with the Hex Boys, there were six of them and trying to remember who/what each one was was a little complicated but I think I had them all down by the end.
I'm looking forward to reading more of this series.

When Harry lost Gina because he cheated on her with a one-night stand, he got something else in return; a chance to learn how to be a real father to his young son, Pat. You can find out what I thought of Tony Parsons’s novel “Man and Boy” (the first in his Harry Silver series) in my latest book review on my blog now.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Caught on Camera: Part One in Books
Jan 11, 2021
Unlike the other short M/M book I've read today, I didn't particularly enjoy this one. It started good but I lost interest once things started heating up between out decorator and gardener. It just didn't grab me, it was all sex with no feelings...maybe I'm being unfair by comparing it to the one I like better earlier, but that's the way I'm feeling right now.
I won't be continuing the series.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated City of Light (Outcast, #1) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this! I was hooked from pretty early on and despite it not having much in the romance department, for once, I didnt care. It was too intriguing. Too... well, not so along the usual lines and I was pulled into the story.
And despite what i said above, I'm kinda holding out for a Tiger/Jonas relationship.
Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Simple Perfection (Perfection, #2; Rosemary Beach, #6) in Books

I didn't quite see the point of this. The first book, if tweaked a little, could have been one single story and this one wouldn't have been needed because apart from a few key points, nothing actually happened. Though the few things thrown in at the end have me intrigued. The Bethy thing. And the Grant thing. But I don't think I'm going to be continuing this series, so it doesn't matter either way.

Fails to Disappoint :)
This book certainly deserves its status as an essential modern classic.
It provides a somewhat sinister feel, but remains thought provoking. The overall story is short, but it incorporates such strong ideas that it makes up for it being a short read. Not only is it enjoyable, but it also serves to educate the reader on the dangers of attempting a utopian society. Its concept of why it is important to retain human memories – even the bad – in order that wisdom can exist, adds to the fascinating factor.
This book would be great to spur discussion and introspection. Although fans of contemporary dystopian novels will be sure to love this series, the book isn't solely the story of a depressing utopia. It's mainly the story of the relationship between the main characters: the Giver, Jonas, and... I won't say her name, and of course, the baby Gabe. This book is a more of a mystery in which things don't much get answered- they're left to linger. That's part of the beauty and hopefulness in this book! Just read the damn book, then call me.
You won't be disappointed if you read it, because it's an enjoyable read. It contains a great plot, the community is interesting, and the ending is fantastic and JUST a little ambiguous!-- cool!
