Cora has a problem. One of her many fans is stalking her, but she doesn't know who it is. And when he turns to murder, things really get out of hand. As always, I found parts of the book laugh out loud funny while other parts were highly suspenseful. If only the endings were stronger.

Cora Felton has found herself involved in another murder when a Sudoku shows up on the body of a man poisoned at a boarding house in town. It's the usual verbal sparring and puzzles fans of the series will love. I was just bothered by one action Cora took part way through the book.

I really, really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, through most of it I found the main character annoying and...well, kind of a bitch. It's possible that's what I was supposed to think, but since it was written in first person, it prevented me from really connecting with her. If you're a big chick lit fan, though, I could see that it might be enjoyable. Alas, it was not for me.

Really intriguing
A really great movie, which was very intriguing, about Two brother who managed to escape the cult they were in as a child, and their journey back, so the older brother can prove that their lives have improved since they left
I found certain parts of the storyline very easy to guess, but the final scenes were hard to see coming!!
Very good for all sci-fi lovers!
  
I really enjoyed this collection of survivor stories. This was truly inspirational. At this moment, I have been dealing with some personal drama that has made me give up hope. It was truly a blessing that I found this novel as a Kindle First novel.

This book shows that we can all survive horrid situations. This is a good book if you're wanting an inspirational novel that shows the strength of survivors or horrid situations.

I was not a fan of this docu-series based on the pizza bombing in PA. It wasn't engaging, and it was pretty boring. I didn't feel any sympathy for any of the characters, and the back and forth was irritating to me. Was the victim a victim, or part of the whole thing? Honestly, I didn't care, and I found it hard to watch until the end.

Evil genius? Yeah...ok.

I found this book just didnt hit the mark for me - some parts were funny and entertaining but for the most part I felt it didn't really have a plot - I hated all of the secondary characters, every last one - I had never been so happy to get one on one with the mains because I enjoyed them - I like the name, the emergency contact theme was cute but alas, just didn't hit the marks.

Well this doesn't seem to be too popular. I can see why, I found it ok but far from great or laugh out loud funny. One that plays on the male/female relationship during an usual setting and events. Seems a popular choice of idea with The Killers, Knight and Day also out this year. However for a Rom-com The ugly truth was way better and for more action go for Knight and day.

Slow burner
Found this film on Netflix, not sure what I was expecting but it was more than what the film had to offer. It seemed to me to be a very slow burner, while the story was good I think things could have been a bit deeper with a bit more story. I'm not sure, it was worth a watch and the ending was tough to watch. But not what I expected.

Hold out till the end
I liked the ending of this book, but there was so many times I wanted to give up and put the book down!

No I can’t I need to finnish it.

So many times I found this book boring, I just wanted more to happen, half the time it’s the same thing each day.

I still don’t understand what all the fuss was about.
