Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!


Kite lives in a community where things are scarce and they struggle. They live and survive on what they are able to grow and produce throughout the year. When it comes close to Christmas there is a special tradition that takes place where there is a chosen person who travels through a magic tunnel to a door into the future. Can both the future and the past come together to create the perfect balance that they all need?


This is a lovely story with lots of feelings involved and a lot of growth. It feels like she has dug deep and almost out some of her feelings and intertwined them with her characters. Kite has such a heartwarming persona about him, it made me want to take him under my wing to help him progress and grow. I'm so pleased he didn't give up and fought for what he thought was right.


Well done, Eule, on a captivatingly written story that I recommend

This is a real friends-to-lovers story, complete with hidden feelings on one side. However, what made this story exceptional to me is the way in which it is written and the believable, likeable characters that Megan Linden gives us. Told from dual points of view, you hear from both Tyler and Kevin as they realise how deep their feelings for each other are, and what this means as one is an Alpha's Son, whilst the other is a lone wolf.

I loved how it was Mom B, the Beta, who spoke to Kevin and gave him the reassurance he needed. It wasn't just swept under the carpet in a "love conquers all" way. No, he was told that loving a Harrington was tough, but it was worth it!

This novella has it all - friendship, romance, it has some hot scenes without being gratuitous, and it has definitely left me wanting more. Absolutely adored this book and I'm looking forward to returning to Harrington Hills as soon as I can. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this, I have been wanting to read it for a while now ad glad to have finally read it. It was sad and horrible, and it showed that people can be bullied and commit suicide from bully alone - it doesn't just have to be because something horrible happened to them. I felt sorry for Hannah and Clay because they were both damaged and hurt.

This book is worth reading, it will pull at your feelings, but it is worth it

Happy reading :)

I have re-watched this movie yesterday, and it gave me the feelings again!

From the story line, to the cast and the characters, to the issues these characters are facing, this is the best prison based movie I have ever watched.

I loved how they show the meaning of freedom, and for us, that are free, this is not something we often think about. How playing one song might make you feel, or drinking beers on a rooftop on a sunny day.

You don't really know what you have, until you lose it!

Amazing movie!

Well executed plot
Very real emotions
Get your tissues ready
I really enjoyed this movie and being able to connect with the main character. This movie was executed well and played off characters strengths and weaknesses wonderfully, highlighting how body issues are felt by everyone. Some of the subplots and supporting roles could have been developed further, and further insight into the main characters feelings would have solidified this movie a little bit more.

Overall, a sweet movies with a great message that will leave its target audience a more than a little weepy.
