What an amazing read! I was unable to put this book down and read it in one sitting. This is a fast paced and intriguing read with just the right amount of the creepy factor (duh, it is about dolls after all.) I found myself making so many assumptions about what was really going on and I was entirely wrong. So wrong that once the truth came out I was blown clear out of the water.

Broken Dolls is a unique and creative story and you will certainly not be disappointed. I'm extremely happy that I stumbled upon this author and I eagerly await the release of the next book.

Engaging Read
This book has it all; mystery, romance and suspense. It kept me so engaged that before I knew it I was turning the last page. For me, the pace went by way too fast but honestly, it is a well-paced read with beautiful characters and swoon-worthy moments that had me oohing and aahing. I believe that readers both young and old will find this to be a delightful read.-YA/NA Book Divas

You would think that by book 14, you would get bored of reading about the same characters but no you won't. Once you open the book, it's like putting on a pair of comfy shoes that might be a bit worn but you always go back to them even if you've bought a new pair! The subject matter of this particular book is unpleasant but, as always, Mr Billingham approaches it with respect and clearly has done his research. Thought-provoking, fast paced and, well, just brilliant. Highly recommended. Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

Magical read
I read this book a while ago and it popped up here. I remember loving the book so much that afer I borrowed it to read from my sister who recommended it, I ran out and bought it in paperback and an electronic copy for my Nook. The has a fast paced plot and storyline that never looses momentum. The story keeps you on your toes as well. It is incredibly well written, creating a picture in your mind of the scenery, charachters and more.
Overview- set in the past, 2 youths are trained to be competing magians in a circus but fall in love.

Was on the lookout for a new iPad, so went to test a few, had seen this one on line and was so tempted by it but thankfully I went to test drive it first and so glad I did because I changed my mind. It really is for the professionals, there is no home button, you swipe the screen upwards to get back and it moves quite fast, so those who do suffer from motion sickness it could you make you feel rather ill. There is also no headphone socket so you have to purchase Bluetooth headphones if you don't have any. Didn't purchase this one.

fantastic series
This is the complete series of books in this set, I loved having all the books together. This is a dark romance story, which will have you reading long into the night. This book is packed with very violent themes such as murder, intrigue and betrayal. This is a fast paced series of books, each one sucking you into the story more and more. Amazing well written story with exceptional characters. This story has it all romance, heartbreak, suspense, tragedy and betrayal. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended series

this book has fab characters, the story is fast paced with lots of steamy scenes and suspense. this book will have you reading long into the night. this book was definitely hard to put down. this story has lots of twist and turn, corporate setting and a family at war, brought together brings you a page turner of a book. both the main characters have dark pasts that they have to get over to embrace each other. this book has a cliff hanger ending, i was left wanting the next book as soon as possible.

highly recommended

Get over here!
So in the 90s you were either in the Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat camp. Not gonna lie I was all Street Fighter.

However 20 something years on Mortal Kombat has evolved into a great game with a fantastic story.

Fast flowing easy to pick up, easy moves to master and perfect makes this a fantastic game.

Play alone the towers,storyline or krypt.

Or play local multiplayer the fun starts immediately.

Customising is a bit complex and online takes a lot of mastering but all in all I cant recommend this game enough

Easy and fast to learn, accessible to kids (3 more)
Addictive gameplay
A game lasts only a few minutes
Easily transportable and playable on the go
A lovely card game
Love Letter is a slightly bizarre but innovative card game that consists of only 16 cards. At its current price, this may seem expensive, but is likely countered by the hours of fun that may be had. When you are looking for a simple but mildly strategic game to play with friends or family, this game should be at the top of your list. It perhaps doesn't have great staying power, but as a small filler game, this is my favourite.

Fantastic
I want to say that this book was better than the first but that would be a lie as they are equally outstanding. I was glued to my seat and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. This one picks up where the first one left off and the storytelling is fantastic. I was quickly swept away and lost within this beautiful storyline full of Vikings, princesses, maniacal jarls and even a very disturbing witch. The characters are strong and work well within the story and I can't wait to learn more about Dayna and Brant as I know their story will also be epic!!
