Tom Turner (388 KP) rated Winter in Books
Apr 30, 2021
For me, this book could easily have been 150 plus pages shorter than it was. The fact the climax to the story happens almost 100 pages (I'm guessing here as I listened to the audio version, so estimating based on percentage and Goodreads page count) before the actual end is testimony to that. It just felt like it needed more editing. Sadly, for me this made it the weakest of the series, as I ended up getting lost as to my position in the plot, abs felt the characters got diluted due to the size of the plot. For me, the strength of the series were the characters and the dynamics between them, but they got shifted around so much that all of that was lost. It's a shame, because it really should have ended on a high!
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Heart Racer (Heart Racer, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
2.5 stars.
This was your usual contemporary romance where girl meets boy, falls in love with boy, boy does something wrong--breaking girls heart...and then usually they make up again and live happily ever after. Only this ended with the boy--Leandro--breaking the girls--Bobby's--heart.
I know it's a series and that the author needed to continue it somehow but I kinda feel cheated, there didn't seem to be a proper ending.
As for the rest of the book, I can't say that I ever really got into it. I was unattached from the characters and the storyline. I don't know if it's because I've read too many books that are similar or if it was the style but something stopped me from liking it. It was just "meh" for me.
I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Déjà Dead (Temperance Brennan, #1) in Books
Sep 24, 2019
Her life is devoted to justice; for those she never even knew. In the year since Temperance Brennan left behind a shaky marriage in North Carolina, work has often preempted her weekend plans to explore Quebec. When a female corpse is discovered meticulously dismembered and stashed in trash bags, Temperance detects an alarming pattern and she plunges into a harrowing search for a killer. But her investigation is about to place those closest to her, her best friend and her own daughter, in mortal danger...
Really good!
I had no idea it was connected to the TV series Bones when I started reading it, very glad I didn't although Im glad I was told as it helped picturing Temperance. Loved the book although remind me not to be eating while reading 🤣. Looking forward to getting stuck into the series!!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Vampire's Redemption (Undead in Brown County, #3) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
I read books 1 and 2 of this series back at the end of 2012 and I'd honestly forgotten a lot of what happened in them, however the first chapter of this did a good job to revise some of what had happened.
I did remember that I was Team Michael out of him and Alex but with the introduction of another lover in this, I wanted to throw my computer. Two men isn't enough in her life? She gets a third? I'm still Team Michael because he's done his best to redeem himself after the terrible crimes he committed before he was sentenced to be held on the property by Sarah's dad.
The ending has left me eager to see what happen next with Sarah and the three men in her life and I'm off to start book 4 in the series.

Walker ( Matefinder: Next Generation 2)
By Leia Stone
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
With humans and werewolves on the brink of war, Anya finds herself right in the middle. When she has a terrifying vision, which her Shaman mentor says will come to pass, she stops at nothing to try and save everyone. Armed with new responsibilities, Anya is stalked by the Skin Walker who wants nothing more than to see her dead. But when her mate, Gavin, starts acting weird and closes down their mate bond, she’s afraid she will lose everything.
Really enjoyed this I thought it was a fitting end to a series I absolutely love! I did burst out laughing at a line in chapter 4 I think it was which wouldn’t have mat normally but it is 3am 😆.
Really enjoyed this book and series.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Bridge (Detective Louise Blackwell #6) in Books
Aug 13, 2023
What a great book! Although this is number 6 in the series, I think it can be read as a standalone quite successfully.
The story starts with the discovery of a young woman's body in a shipping container. Initial thoughts are this is a tragic case of human trafficking gone wrong but when a camera is discovered and the investigation delves deeper, the case turns into something else altogether and when more people start to go missing, Detective Blackwell and her team know they are running out of time.
Written at a good pace, with fantastic characters, a great storyline full of tension, this is a great addition to the series and I must thank the author, Amazon Publishing UK, Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Bridge.

Merissa (12681 KP) rated Dirty Laundry (Cole McGinnis #3) in Books
May 30, 2023
We are back in the thick of Cole McGinnis being a very dangerous person to be around. Everyone who gets close to him gets shot, and he usually ends up with pieces of their blood, bone and brain in his mouth. This time, there is a mystery surrounding a Korean fortune-teller and her clients, who are being killed off. I'll be honest, this confused me and I'm still not sure about the WHY of what happened.
Very well-written, and fast-paced with enough action to please everyone. This continues the series and the relationship between Cole and Jae-Min. Definitely to be read as part of the series and not standalone! Recommended.
* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *
