3.75 stars. I'm finding these books are getting better with each one.

I liked this one, seeing Cage find the girl who would tame his wild ways after reading about his shenanigans in the previous book. I also liked Eva, though I didn't entirely feel her at the beginning. She grew on me.

On to Preston and Manda's story next.

A simple yet clever book to read to children. They will love the illustrations, I know I did, as the story unfolds about a mother and her cubs. A strong message is put in a way that the children will enjoy and remember, rather than just being scared.

Good morning, wonderful people! Some books really do have that quality, the ones that arrive at exactly the right moment and open something up in you that you didn't know was waiting to be opened. It's worth thinking about which ones have done that for you and why.

Have a Thoughtful Thursday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

The second book in Michael Arnold's planned <i>Captain Stryker</i> series of books, all set during the time of the English Civil War.

Despite being one of the defining period in English history, it's actually a subject rarely touched upon: when I was at school, we were taught more about the American Civil War than about the English counter-part! Short of this series, I can't - personally - think of any other novels set in and around the same period.

Like Cornwell's [i]Sharpe[/i] series of books, the events of this are all set in and around real historical events: in this case, the storming of Cirencester, the siege of Lichfield and the battle of Hopton Heath. If I'm honest, I wasn't familiar with any of these events, which is something I've always enjoyed about this type of book: a chance to learn some new history while also enjoying a good read! :)

2.5 stars.

I normally really like dystopia books but this dragged for me. It was very slow going and not much seemed to happen. It was mainly following Cassia around in her social life and meeting up with Ky occasionally.

The start was promising. I liked the idea of having matches and that hers was with her friend but then came the flash of Ky on her port and I was intrigued where it was going to go from there...and in a very long winded, round-about way we kind of found out.

The best bit for me was probably about 20 pages from the end when Cassia is having the conversation with the Official. Eye-opening conversation...though not enough for me to be bothered about continuing the series.

I like books with continuous action and this was so slow, it's taken me over a week to read instead of the two/three days normally.

I liked a lot of things about this but there were also things I didn't like, like Frankie. What the hell was wrong with him?

Not sure how I feel about biker books; I don't like some of the things they do: sleeping with "club whores" while they have wives at home. Doesn't make them very likeable, especially Deuce in this, though he pulled through in the end but not without me wanting to punch him in the face a few times.

Cox, I could forgive because he did the right thing in the end and he always remembered Kami.

I also kinda liked Dorothy, too, so I really hope the guy (who's name I cant quite remember at the minute. Jace?) does the right thing by her because he seems to really care about her and she loves him, whether they're both married or not.

I'll certainly be reading the other books in the series, especially book 4, since that's Dorothy's book.
