Jennifer Daniell (108 KP) rated The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf (Naked Werewolf, #2) in Books

Apr 10, 2018

Okay, I love Molly Harper, but this book had some inconsistencies for me. A couple of times in the book Maggie tells Nick that Vampires don't exist to her knowledge. However in the first Naked Werewolf book Mo references Jane from the Vampire novels meaning that these books take place in the same world and around the same time as the Vampire books, which means that Vampires had already been outed and (somewhat) accepted worldwide. Even if Maggie was completely sheltered from all outside media and news sources there is absolutely NO WAY that Nick, being from the Lower 48 AND a Mythological creature buff, would have not known about their existence.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Everblue (Mer Tales, #1) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

I'm not having much luck with books lately. The last couple of young adult books I've started just haven't managed to grab my attention at all and I've DNF'd them. This one included.

DNF @ 22%

It didn't pull me in and make me want to forget everything else. The characters weren't in my face real and the continual chapter/character changes got a little annoying after a while. The underwater world held no appeal for me while I was more bothered about what was going on with Ashlyn above ground and then I'd read some and kinda lose interest in that but too.

I could really do with a book that's going to pull me in completely.

I've made it a mission to read all of Kelly Oram's books after falling in love with a few but I've found that they can be pretty hit or miss. This one was strangely OK; i loved Kyle but he might have gone about things a little wrong, whereas the hype surrounding Val after her admission to being a Virgin just seemed ridiculously overblown. I can't see any of that happening in real life.

That end bit though has me very intrigued. I want them to get together so badly so I'm off to get [b:A is for Abstinence|22089601|A is for Abstinence (V is for Virgin #2)|Kelly Oram|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1436992812s/22089601.jpg|40801675]

Tony Hale recommended The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) in Movies (curated)

"I’d put The Fellowship of the Ring in there. I just think Peter Jackson did a fantastic job with the movie, and I loved those books. It’s one of those things where, reading the books, and getting so excited about them, and just praying that the movie did it justice. And it totally did, to me. Plus, the relationship between Frodo and Sam, and Gollum, and all of that. I loved it. I’m also a huge fan of The Chronicles of Narnia, and I had the opposite experience with that, where it just didn’t click like it did with The Lord of the Rings. So I just loved what Peter Jackson did with that."

I'm grinning like an idiot due to the end of that last chapter, not the epilogue, the chapter.

Amaranthe and Sicarius, sitting under a tree, K I S S I N G!

Ha ha! Took them long enough. So happy about that but at the same time him deciding that they wont pursue it until after they get pardoned by the emperor. That's another 4 books or so away! I love you guys!

Not forgetting the rest of the group, of course. You're all great but I think apart from Amaranthe and Sicarius that Maldynado is my favourite. I hope he gets his statue in the end!

Need to buy books 4-7 ASAP!
