found this book by accident while searching and thought id give it a go as the story was a bit different and i'm so glad i did. it was well written and the characters were witty and romantic. even the secondary characters worked well on enhancing the story. as with many trilogy's i always try and wait for the complete set and i'm so glad i did. have book two ready as this book has a cliffhanger ending.

Whoever hasn't seen the advert for this game is very lucky and probably rare. Eventually those have had seen it probably went and downloaded it and to be fair it has that connection of I guess action play as well as free gambling with the slot machines. Whilst it lacks communication with other players I definitely consider it a decent game.

Bardic Voices by Mercedes Lackey
I'm re-reading this series, as since my husband's death I find comfort in the literature I read as a teen or a young adult. And what I'm finding now, nearly thirty years later, is the same kind of anti-racism text as is found in Real Life Politics today. One of the Free Bards (Kestrel) is talking about Humans Only signs and varying things being declared as evil...

and I'm thinking... didn't I just hear this story on NPR?
     
Mace Bauer's quiet evening at home is interrupted when her mama calls from jail. It seems that Mama found a dead body in her trunk, and naturally the police think that makes her the prime suspect. Can Mace prove otherwise? This is a fun debut filled with wonderful characters. I did feel the pacing was a bit slow, but overall, I enjoyed it.

Former forger turned faux finisher Annie Kincaid is painting in an exclusive men's club when a member is found murdered. Then's she's asked to find a stolen statue and a painting that may or may not be forged. This is the fourth in a series, and it's another fun romp. The ending felt rushed, but that was my only complaint with the book.

This was an interesting story. After reading the author's note, I found out that the death in the family was actually voted on by the public because they did not like this incarnation of Robin. That was interesting and made me really think about the power of asking readers what they want out of the story. It was actually a pretty intense story overall. I am glad I read it, thanks Dad for putting it in my room to read, but it wasn't my favorite.

I had this on audiobook and I just couldn't get into it. The narrators voices were putting me off throughout and I found myself glazing over the story and thinking of other things while listening to it, meaning I missed half the story really.

I really enjoyed the first 50% but after that I just couldn't get into it. I will buy it in paperback form in the future in order to finish it, but I cannot listen to it anymore.

In the middle of bitter cold winter weather, NYPD detective Nikki Heat investigates a case of a priet found dead in a bondage club. This book felt like the best tie in to the TV show yet, and I loved catching all the references to episodes or plot lines. As with the others, it was still over written in parts, but that seems to be getting better.

If you are looking for a lighthearted teen drama then the Greenhouse Academy is for you.

Each episode is only 25 minutes long making it incredibly easy to binge watch (I did two seasons in a day).

The story line can be a bit over the top in places, the special effects and acting can be terrible however I really found it just added to the charm. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can not wait for season 3 to find out who was at the door!!
