Kate (496 KP) rated Murder Around The Corner in Books
Jul 15, 2020
I prefer books to be a bit longer - it wasn't really long to even get into.
It's a crime genre which I love but it was too short to real be much of a crime book that I would normally read.
Giving a review on a short story is not easy as I didn't see the characters grow and story didn't really go anywhere.
I wouldn't read the second book in series.
I would recommend to someone who losses interest quickly or doesn't like reading a long book.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Finder in Books
Jan 7, 2021
The beginning of this seemed really stilted, just giving a short sentence here and there with information that didn't seem relevent and bored me. But then the author seemed to get into their stride and i was sucked into the story.
I liked the plot. It was different. The identity of the killer didn't shock me as much as it probably could have but i was still kind of taken aback at the lengths they were willing to go
I was a little disappointed with the romance aspect though. I wanted more page time for the characters romantic progression. It seemed a little sudden despite the years they'd been working together.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated At Your Beck & Call: Tales of a male escort in Books
Jan 7, 2021
This is my third book by the author, I think, and one thing I've noticed is she does a lot of background. And in this, I didn't care--AT ALL! I didn't care how he became an escort or what his clients liked or disliked.
I wanted him to meet this client he falls for and find out how he was going to make the relationship work with her considering his job and the mentioned age gap. Nowhere near that by 28% in--and 3 days later--so I'm giving up since I haven't enjoyed it much up til now.
I think I'm going to avoid this author in the future.

After reading this I'm not sure I get the story title but other than that I liked this.
It was polar opposites attracting; the popular guy and the girl who's different, the loner.
I liked how they both changed. The found hope and a reason to be better, to believe that they could become better with each other in their lives. Overcoming obstacles and the past to hope for a better future.
I kind of wish the ending had been a little longer but knowing that they finally stood up for each other and that Stella was actually giving college a chance was enough for me.
Another nice YA romance from Katie McGarry.
