Um...
Well this twisted tale came out of left field and was surprisingly good. I found it under "horror" and I get why, but it's not exactly scary. It's almost like "Home Alone" on steroids. The acting was just ok(Kevin James as the bad guy was interesting). The character "Becky" would definitely fall under the definition of psychopath(the girl played the part well). This movie had plenty of gore for those of you who enjoy that sort of thing. It's not exactly "believable" but it was definitely entertaining. The effects were pretty good and the story kept the interest throughout. Not one for little kids, in my opinion. Otherwise, this one is worth a watch.

Fantastic world/concept
Beautiful
True story telling, beautifully written. I was led through the story like a dream, completely immersed. I couldn't put it down. The writing is fantastic, I don't remember the text ever really explaining the concepts of the books (e.g. by characters explaining them) but somehow I found myself truely understanding it.
Plus the concept and fantasy world being is beautifully captivating.
This us how you write LGBTQ+ literature, no tokenism just pure story. I love the romance and felt everything I think the author entailed.
I would highly recommend this to all fantasy lovers - so glad I picked this up randomly in the library. This NEEDS to be talked about more!

Occassionally slow
Clever emotion heightening
This was a good film, based on a true story, good length as there were occasional slow parts. I really found myself rooting for the characters even though the camaraderie was subtle, it built enough of a picture to feel that.
The main character is exceptionally clever and when the plan is first revealed I thought it was impossible but somehow it was done well.
I love the main suspicious guard and how close he comes to finding out the truth.
My biggest erk is that they didn't bother using native actors, the accents are OK but when in a stressful situation/shouting they are dropped.

3.5 stars, i think.
I guess the storyline might not be for everyone but i didn't have a problem with it--it is fiction after all. I liked the description of Hawaii, it sounds beautiful, and kinda deadly. I loved the connection between all the co-workers, they really were like one big family.
I loved the second chance romance, though I found it a little strange how suddenly Logan's attitude changed to Ronnie. One minute they're arguing and winding each other up, the next they're kissing and admitting their love for each other. I know it'd been brewing in the background for seven years but... yeah, i didn't quite understand it.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Wow. I have literally just finished reading this and I'm impressed.
In a way it reminded me of Richelle Mead's "Georgina Kincaid" series with the succubus and not wanting to sleep with the good guy but in other ways it didn't.
The storyline was both interesting and fun and I found myself needing to keep reading so I could find out who was killing the other succubi and I have to admit I wasn't disappointed--though I did guess half right.
I enjoyed it enough to keep reading the series and will look forward to the next book when it is released later in the year.
