All time favorite book
Contains spoilers, click to show
Beautiful, honest, heart breaking. If you want to understand someone who grew up living with a mentally unstable drug addict parent or two this is the book you should read. This book shows all the ugly underbelly of living life like that and anyone who hasn't had to live like that should thank their lucky stars. I know many people despise and feel very much like Brenda does about Wavy's relationship with Kellen. Wavy was more mature then her mother and father so to say that she wasn't old enough to make that decision is taking Wavy's power away from her. She was smart, willful and she knew exactly what she was doing. Anyone who truly understands this story will understand their relationship. This will be one of my all time favorite books.

I was extremely excited when I heard Marissa Meyer would be coming out with another book (because Lunar Chronicles was 10 out of 10, let’s be honest), even more so when I learned it was about the Queen of Hearts. Marissa Meyer’s take on the villian’s backstory is unique, though I have to say the love interest isn’t my favorite. However, I did thoroughly enjoy this book and would most definitely recommend it!
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated The Mystery of the Missing Heiress (Trixie Belden, #16) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
This kid's mystery finds Trixie Belden trying to help a young woman with amnesia find out who she really is. This is the first time I've reread a book in this favorite series in years. I loved spending time with the characters, but I have always found this plot a little weak.

Kelsica (4 KP) rated The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in Books
Mar 15, 2018
One of my favorite books of all time
There are really no words to describe this book. It is everything you could want in a book and more. The universe is so incredibly imaginative and every single thing that has been developed in this world is so well thought out and created. The story has its laughs and it’s intense moments. The narrator is perfect and it’s just everything you want in a story.
Night Reader Reviews (683 KP) rated The Mist in Books

I will admit that I saw this movie years ago and only within the past year got around to reading the book. Without giving any spoilers I can safely say the I prefer the ending to Stephen King's book so much more than what the movie offered. As always his books are just the right combination of creepy and realistic to prevent his work from being unbelievable. My all time favorite author.
TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Proof of Life (BlackThorpe Security #4) in Books

Good read
This is the 4th book in the blackthorpe security series. I have read the first 3 books and was really looking forward to reading this one. It didn't go into as much detail as the others in the series and the characters didn't have as much depth. But I did like the twist that the author did in this one. Overall this was not my favorite book in this series.

Kristina (502 KP) rated Undone (Will Trent, #3) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
Karin is good at suspense; heck, not good, great. But I felt so much frustration with this book. I just wanted to know. Each misleading piece of information made me more irritated. Angie's return had my teeth clenching - I really do not like that woman. I liked Undone, but it's not my favorite Slaughter/Will Trent book and I can only hope I don't feel the same way about the next installment.
