Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated A Demon Bound (Imp, #1) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

I wasn't sure about this to start with but I quickly warmed up to the story. Admittedly, a lot of my excitement with this was the love interests and her reactions to them as an Imp, wanting to get them into bed and do naughty stuff to them a lot of the time. I'm very intrigued as to what will happen later on in this series with Gregory and also with Wyatt.

I definitely want to read the next book!

Oprah Winfrey recommended A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" in Books (curated)

"‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.’ Reading those two sentences sparked a series of aha moments for me. What Marianne Williamson is getting at here is that fear hides our inner light, but that when we embrace love—which is how she defines God—we connect with who we are really meant to be. I have never been more moved by a book than I am by this one."

The book was slow for me. I felt like the actual story had so much potential, so many possibilities, but it wasn't nearly as grand as I had hoped. The fact Grace was so determined to be her own hero was commendable, but I felt like her triumphant battle happened too quickly, like it didn't happen at all. There were a few grammatical errors, but that has no bearing on my review. I don't believe I'll be continuing this series.

Kristina (502 KP) rated Berkley Street (Berkley Street Series Book 1) in Books

Dec 7, 2020

I wouldn't necessarily call Berkley Street "bone chilling" or "spine tingling", but it was certainly interesting. Kind of put me in the mind of Rose Red, not that I've actually read the book, but it's how I imagine the house is explained. I was curious about the ghosts - who they are, how they got there, etc. The bonus chapters in the end gave me insight that I truly appreciated. I'm not sure if I'll continue with this series, but it's a possibility!

Good show, starting to wane now

A good story based on the book by Piper Kerman.
The first 3 seasons of this were excellent, really gritty and true to life, after this the quality waned off and became a little ridiculous, season 5 was completely ridiculous and I dread season 6.
Im actually glad its the last one.
As I said the show has given me joy to watch for the first few seasons hence the 7 rating.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Spider’s Revenge (Elemental Assassin, #5) in Books

I really liked this one. It was different to the others in a way, like they had only been a build up to the big finale that was this book in relation to the killing of Mab Monroe.

Go Gin, go Gin, go Gin!!

She kicked arse, as usual, but she had me worried for a while.

This series has certainly grown on me over the last five books and I can't wait to read what she's going to get up to next.

Enjoyable, easy to read. (0 more)

In truth there are authors in this genre who are in some respects better, however i do enjoy reading books by this author. The Anita Blake series is easy reading. The plots are not too complicated and characters are easy to follow and they never take that long to read that i lose interest. I would recommend to anyone interested in this genre that doesnt want a huge long drawn out book but a nice quick vampire story fix.
