Another brilliant destiny falls mystery!
Hayden is settle in destiny falls although there are still murders and mysteries she is happy living her life, the only thing she is worried about is her father should of been back 2 weeks ago from his trip to Gladstone. where Is he? What has gone wrong?
I love Elizabeth's gripping style of writing in these series she describes everything with such vigor and detail that you can almost smell, see and feel everything that's happening. She certainly had me hooked on these books and I cannot wait for the next one to come, I'm guessing that the series will come to and end eventually and I will be bitterly disappointed when the time comes I love escaping to destiny falls the bonus of having a book is that you can always revisit the story and that is something I will deffinatly be doing!
4/5 stars please read it!

Intriguing and thought provoking
An interesting and intriguing story that not only entertains but is thought provoking.
The first few pages are pretty tame, I'll be honest they pulled me into a false sense of security but oh my was I was hit with a surprise! It definitely had me invested in Charlie Adamson, his development and role within the story.
Each page is expertly written to keep you hooked and waiting for more. Although a work of fiction there are many aspects that are either rooted in facts or at the very least have a glimmer of truth that keeps you thinking throughout.
This is one of the stories that once I've started reading I can't bare to put it down as I need to know what happens. Also, I'd be happy if it was made into a movie or series (with nothing removed please!)
I'd recommend for mature young adults onwards and definitely a great book club read, the discussions would be brilliant!

Merissa (13100 KP) rated When the Dead Speak (Southern Spirits #2) in Books
Apr 18, 2023
This is the second book in the Southern Spirits series which is turning out to be absolutely brilliant! When The Dead Speak is Laine and Sev's story. Laine, as we already know, is the Sheriff of McKinton, and Sev is someone who has just arrived in town which quite an unusual resume! The attraction between the two is instantaneous but they still have their own issues to work through, which makes so much more sense to me than insta-love. I loved seeing Zeke and Brendon in this, and how their relationship with Laine has developed into a strong friendship.
Well-written and with an intriguing storyline, this story also has some amazingly hot scenes. I can't wait to read the next one. Highly recommended by me.

Merissa (13100 KP) rated Rare Form (Descended of Dragons #1) in Books
Apr 19, 2023
This is the debut novel of Jen Crane and she has started with a belter! There are some brilliant one-liners in here, and she has given a new meaning between a younger girl and an older man!
So many characters in here to draw you in! Stella herself is cracking! She deals with life-changing events with attitude and aplomb, whilst committing herself fully. Gresham is simply gorgeous and I can't get enough of him. Timbra is sweet but with a sassy edge. Ewan - what can I say about him? He intrigues me and I can't wait to see where this story will take him.
Well-written, smoothly paced, and laced with humour, this is a book to savour! Definitely recommended by me and I can't wait for book 2!!

Merissa (13100 KP) rated Banewolf (Dark Siren, #2) in Books
Apr 19, 2023
Banewolf is the second book in the Dark Siren series and it is a belter! The story continues where Book 1 left off, although Kali has learned a new skill with regard to staying underwater. Rhane and Kali come back together again and life continues. It is hard for Kali to adjust, especially with all the changes and challenges she has faced and continues to face.
There is action aplenty, and the story becomes more intricate as politics now plays a part. Kali is remembering more of her memories of when she was with Rhane in a previous life, and answers become clear on why certain things happened.
An absolutely fantastic continuation that will leave you wanting more... immediately! Brilliant book and series. Highly recommended.

By Carrie Vaughn

After getting caught turning wolf on national television, Kitty retreats to a mountain cabin to recover and write her memoirs. But this is Kitty, so trouble is never far behind, and instead of Walden Pond, she gets Evil Dead. When werewolf hunter Cormac shows up with an injured Ben O'Farrell, Kitty's lawyer, slung over his shoulder, and a wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes starts sniffing around the cabin, Kitty wonders if any of them will get out of these woods alive...
Another brilliant and interesting instalment from Kitty Norville I love this series. We see Kittt taking a break dealing with with some person issues, taking care of a friend helps her do this. These books are just so easy to read and never disappoint.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated Wisdom Check (Dungeons and Dating #2) in Books
Jan 25, 2022
Well......I think I'm in love!
This was an awesome read. Wisdom Check is the second in the Dungeons & Dating series and I'm not disappointed! The depth of emotions displayed by Jules and Cal is brilliant. They are well written characters that are loveable and relatable.
The sexual tension that simmers away beneath the surface is something else, it's hot, cheeky and moreish. It isn't just an itch to be scratched though, it's more, it's deep and meaningful but with unresolved personal issues it's also difficult and riddled with self doubt.
All of that makes me fall in love with them, over and over again! Both men are kind, compassionate, considerate and sexy as hell!
This really is a pleasure to read, it pulled many emotions to the surface and made me desperate to see how it ended but equally I didn't want it to end!!
A thoroughly adult read, with some hot mm sex and some fairly tough subjects.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Knives Out (2019) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
I have to say that with its brilliant cast including Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Ana de Armas and of course Christopher Plummer, Knives Out, for me is one of the best Whodunit movies that I have seen for a long time on the big screen, I’ve seen many theatre productions in this genre and the last movie that I saw like this that had me as excited as Knives Out was Clue with Tim Curry.
This is a movie that has everything you could want from the genre, the mystery, the shifty money-grabbing family, the backstabbing and of course the intrigue of who committed the crime in the first place, yes there are those moments when you do start putting one and one together yourself, but with the subtle twists and turns in Knives Out it still keeps you guessing.
