Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Night Embrace (Dark-Hunter #2) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Well I loved the first book, I think I gave it five stars. This one, not so much. Unfortunately for it, the romance was based on reincarnation which is not something I enjoy reading about. I think it's because I don't get to really see the relationship grow, more like scenes of them now and then when the feelings are already there and I feel a little cheated.
Nevertheless, I still love the secondary characters and can't wait to read more. Zarek certainly has me intrigued and I can't wait to see who makes him turn all warm and gooey.
Not just yet, though. I appear to have lost interest in paranormal books right now, but soon.

3.75 stars.
I liked a lot of this book; the romance and friendship that Caymen had with Xander, Skye and the band and strangely the doll shop and it's shoppers. The thing that knocked it down a quarter star was their preconceived bad feelings toward the rich without their being an explanation for most of the book.
Nevertheless I still liked the book a lot. Xander and his family were so down to Earth and he grew on me so much throughout this book. I thought Caymen was a little stupid to try and resist him because he was pretty amazing.
I look forward to reading more books by the author in the future.

Interesting characters
Great setting
New take on Agatha Christie
I loved the setting and feel it was described well, I had a clear perspective of the perils. The writing illicits feelings for all the characters which made the story very readable, I red it over 24 hours. This would make an excellent movie particularly with the lights going out.
I guessed the big plot twists other than the final killer. I think the killers parts could have been better written and/or more prominent. Overall, a good fast paced read that would be great to dip in and out of whilst travelling or whilst on holiday (if we are ever allowed again).

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Truth or Beard (Winston Brothers, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
2.5 stars
This started out so promising for me. In the first 10% or so we'd had some pushing against walls, touchy-feely-naughtiness and a confession of wanting to be with our girl after wanting her for years. It was so different from the books I normally read where they only confess feelings towards the end. I was looking forward to him convincing her that they should be together.
But it didn't play out like that... nope, we got bikers and different dreams/aspirations and stuff I think the story could have done without.
I won't be continuing the series, no matter how much one of the brothers and his behaviour around Claire intrigued me.

I was a bit torn with this one. The fact that the story is mainly told between two viewpoints, until later on when a third joins in but to me that says that she's going to end up with that person. Right?
Well, not true in this one.
>It was nice to see how the twos feelings changed throughout the book, where childhood friendship and love transformed into something that makes them the closest they could be, knowing all their secrets and so on.
Sanchez grew on me a lot. To start with he was some womanising man-whore but by the end I'd really taken a liking to him and didn't blame Emerson one bit for her choice.

Hmm...where to start. Let's give it 2.5 stars.
This book has sent me cartwheeling through so many feelings: intrigue, horror, indifference, happiness but I can't say that, in the end, I understood the story. I didn't get it.
Why could Mara do these things? Was she the cause of the asylum collapse? What about Noah? What happened to the building they were after?
Admittedly from about the 25% mark to about 70% I was enjoying the story but then I just got really confused when Noah confessed his secret. I had no idea what that had to do with the rest of the plot.
Not really to my liking. I wont be continuing the series.
