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.

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.
  
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.

Escape to the Stars (Galaxia Pirates #2) by A.M. Halford
Escape to the Stars is the second book in the Galaxia Pirates series. In this one, we find out more details about the stowaway, Sandy, who we met at the end of the first book. Brian is in charge of him, and once they find out he is branded with a slave mark, Brian knows that Sandy can't bunk in with the rest of the crew, so he has to share his room. The attraction Brian feels for Sandy is strong, but when he sees the fear in Sandy's eyes, he backs off. Sandy has been a sex slave, and programmed through hardship to react to any touch. Sandy decides that he will power through this and propositions Brian. Things seem to be working out for them, but then Sandy's owner, Sylvain, catches up with him.

This is an easy to read book, where you don't have lots of background information to bog you down. Some may find that annoying, but for me, this story was just perfect - it came at the right time and gave me what I needed from a book. What is there is well written, and features Tony and Craig from book one too. There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow. This was a brilliant coffee break book, and definitely recommended by me.
