This story was great ! I read it in a couple hours because I couldn't put it down. Shelley Shepard Gray wrote a very detailed and very believable story and it covers some highly relevant topics today; such as depression, suicide, spousal abuse, etc,. She did it in such a way that you really feel for the characters without it being graphic and in the midst of it all she gives us a sweet story of falling in love with your best friend. I truly enjoyed this story and recommend reading it.
I give it 4 stars out of 5 for the great story line, well developed characters, and for explaining some hard topics. I recommend reading this book.

A very inspiring set of books !
I loved all these stories, of course I did have my favorites. I read this book over the course of a couple days picking a different story to read each day. I quite looked forward to having a different take on the Erie Brides every night :) and now I have some new authors to follow and find more books. I think that these authors did a great job describing the characters and their surroundings. I sincerely recommend you read this book.

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 think I am honestly becoming addicted to this series. Once I start reading I seriously cant put it down.
This was another great mission with Olesia and we saw the return of Jean (if you haven't read them in order, he appears in the first). I like them as a couple and will be quietly routing for them throughout the remainder of the series--though it's a slim possibility of it actually happening at the minute.
D. D. Marks has a brilliant way of writing these stories so there are always twists and turns throughout that leave you wondering whose playing on which side.
I'm certainly looking forward to reading more of this series!

Kicking off with a genuinely iconic horror kill, Cube is a blast from the get go, albeit a slow burning one.
The whole film has a claustrophobic and intimate feel, with a minimalist set design and a small cast, who are all great by the way. The simple narrative is tantalizing and executed well, with some tense moments, decent plot twists, and the odd splash of sci-fi gore for good measure.
It's low budget, boasts some dodgy effects occasionally, and not at all groundbreaking or spectacular, but it has that 90s sci-fi/horror charm to it, and overall is a competent and entertaining thriller. One of those films that I could easily watch every couple of years.
