Charlotte (184 KP) rated The Little Morgen (Fairytales of the Myth #2) in Books

I should have realised from the first book that this would be a loose look at the little mermaid......I didn't though. This is no sweet story, and the only song you'll find is a siren song luring men to their deaths.
Loss is the catalyst for The Little Morgen, both Thalliya and Ragnor experience it and are thrown together because of it.......and yet again the Gods have their hands in what unfolds.
I really liked that there are links between the first book and this but the epilogue was bittersweet for me. So I'm hoping the next book will again have links and that I'll find something nice in that link.
As with the first this is dark with a bit of passionate sex and plenty of death.

I can barely remember the 90's film but I hoped this would be a good update. It doesn't disappoint. The fights are very good with some great choreography, close up, with weapons, hand to hand there are plenty crammed into this. Including some well known quotes. Some of the fights have some great "Fatalities" which the game was well known for. They are gory and deserves the films R rating.
There are a lot of funny scenes, lines and exchanges as well. Altogether a film fans of the game should enjoy, it's bloody good.

What would you do?
In The Killer's Family we follow the story of the 3 sisters who discovered the devastating evidence and the impact this has on their lives and their relationships with each other and then everything is turned on its head when Gemini strikes again ... and again ...
Who really is Gemini?
This is a dark story with a number of twists that I found riveting and would recommend to lovers of this genre.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Cian is sent on a journey to find out who or what is causing all the deaths in his village.
I really enjoyed this! It's a step out my comfort zone, and a very good one at that.
I'd class it as high fantasy. Very Tolkien-esque, with an epic journey, lives at stake, elves, dwarves, centsaurs, sea serpents on the rampage and a madman, messing with dark blood magic.
Throw in a slow burn sweet romance, between Cian and his guide, Thanyon, and you've got a near perfect book!
Only Cian gets a say, though, and at points, he had a lot to say.
But a fabulous read.
