The Point of No Return

Book Rating

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed that ... it just kept giving!!

Apparently this is the third in the series but I had absolutely no idea and it definitely didn't take anything away from my enjoyment of this book, if anything, it has made me want to read the others all the more.

This book is full of twists, turns and action with excellent characters and written at a good pace. The plot is intricate but easy to follow and the back story of Connor's past is an interesting addition that gives him more depth.

If you enjoy action-packed, crime thrillers that keep you guessing, then I would have no hesitation in recommending this.

Many thanks to Constable, Little, Brown Book Group UK and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Movie Favorite

"I would say my third one would probably be The Black Cat, 1934. Lugosi, but with Karloff, who also is demented, as a Satan worshiper. David Manners, who is in Dracula, again giving another bizarre, stiff, wooden performance, except this time it’s more obvious, because you have two guys who are amazing surrounding him. It’s always weird watching these sort of straight-up leading men being destroyed by these freaks. I don’t know, it’s kind of weird. I guess these guys don’t really get the credit that they deserve for their acting, because they were always in horror movies, but Lugosi and Karloff are just incredible. I mean, they create these iconic moments that define what cinema is, and they’re sort of brushed off. But I guess that’s the way it goes"

Kristina (502 KP) rated The Redemption of Callie & Kayden (The Coincidence, #2) in Books

Dec 7, 2020

Though I'm giving The Redemption of Callie & Kayden 3 stars, I have to confess that it's a weak 3. Honestly, I debated for a long while about whether or not it should actually get a 2.5 rating. I was anxious to read another part of Callie's and Kayden's relationship, to see what awaits them in their lives. For the first half of the book, I was pretty into it, but I felt like things really slowed down around the 60% mark; I began speed reading and only slowing down when it came to the parts I was really looking forward to - which is why I decided to give 3 stars, because though I was slightly bored, I still cared enough to want to find out how everything would end (at least for this book).

I recently had a go at reading Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic which was lovely (even if I am a little too old for these books now), and now I've read his The Giving Tree.

There's not that much I can say about this book as it is only 60-odd pages, but I did find it super sweet. Even at 16, I kind of enjoyed reading this short, childishly simple book...

It tells the unusual tale of love between a boy and an apple tree while the boy grows up and the tree gives everything she has to keep him happy. I thought it was just so cute!

If you have any young family members, I would definitely recommend reading this book with them. I might have to give this 4 stars...
