fantastic read
This is the first book in this series by this author and what an amazing start. This book will take you on lots of twists and turns. I was gripped from the first page till the very last one then I was left wanting and needing more. This is definitely a compelling and captivating story, which is more of a thriller than romance. The characters were amazing with such complex development. This author has a fantastic style which just blows you away with each and every book. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.


Highly recommended start to this series

this is the second time I've read the book and it is still as good the second time. really enjoyed this book. a different story with a twist in the story. the connection between the two main characters is fantastic as well as the supporting characters, making this book romantic and funny. this book has some very hot steamy bits to it but they are not over done. a fantastic page turner and easy book to read. the story is fast paced moving from romantic and funny to misfortune very quickly. have the second book waiting as you will need to start it straight away. highly recommended.

this is a fantastic book and I think I've just gone through a lot of different emotions reading this book. the ending made me cry which rarely happens. like the first book the subjects are hard hitting but done in a sensitive way. I was hooked from page one and couldn't put the book down. this book was just as good as the first and I couldn't wait to start the third. the author writes the book from both points of view which works beautifully. all the characters and the story line are well written, each contains the right amount of details to make this a fantastic book

fantastic read
OMG, This is one fantastic read from this author, I just couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it. This is a mafia romance read with so much more added into the story. This is a stand alone read. This is a dark, sexy, passionate read with lots of depth to the story and characters. Amazing well written characters with very intense, hot ans steamy chemistry between them. This is one of those book you can read again and again and never get bored with it. I can't wait to read more from this amazing author in the future.

'Maniac' on Netflix with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill was absolutely fantastic. The characters have so many layers, both actor and actress play multiple roles, with multiple accents, all believable. Just completely blew me away. Fantastic ending. (0 more)
The first four episodes are confusing. You really have to hang in there and pay attention in order for it all to come together. This definitely isn't a show you can multitask during. I only say this is a negative to make sure people understand it's a show (1 more)
WORTH paying attention to. So if you don't have the time or ability to pay attention to it, I would wait until you do.

Graphic adaptation of on eof my favourite Discworld books, which is set eras before the 'main' Discworld stories themselves.

I have to be honest: I didn't even know there was this adapatation of the story until I came across it in a local bookstory: having read it, I think I prefer this over the only other graphical take on the stories I had encountered before ([b:The Discworld Graphic Novels: The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic|2728900|The Discworld Graphic Novels The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic|Terry Pratchett|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1348432296s/2728900.jpg|2754534]) in that the artwork seems more vibrant, more what I would imagine the characters to be like.

Fantastic world/concept
Beautiful
True story telling, beautifully written. I was led through the story like a dream, completely immersed. I couldn't put it down. The writing is fantastic, I don't remember the text ever really explaining the concepts of the books (e.g. by characters explaining them) but somehow I found myself truely understanding it.

Plus the concept and fantasy world being is beautifully captivating.

This us how you write LGBTQ+ literature, no tokenism just pure story. I love the romance and felt everything I think the author entailed.

I would highly recommend this to all fantasy lovers - so glad I picked this up randomly in the library. This NEEDS to be talked about more!

Ended up being predictable (0 more)
Started off well and the actors were great
It starts off with another set of "loser club" like kids. They were a pretty decent set of actors although their characters make some questionable decisions (but dont all characters in horror). The monsters were so well-made and didn't rely heavily on CGI which was really fantastic.
The ending was very predictable and the scares got lost and folky tales got completely lost.
Now im gonna have to read the book and hope that the sarah bellows storyline was made up for the movie, as that was weird and didn't quite cut it for a background story.
