Purple Phoenix Games (2266 KP) rated Indigo in Tabletop Games
Jun 12, 2019
Mazes. So simple, yet for some reason, so entertaining. Well, for me at least. Who knew that winding your way through a maze to get from Point A to Point B could be such a hit? Combine traversing through a maze with building your own maze of sorts, and you’ve got Indigo! Does this game deliver on gameplay and enjoyment, or does it leave you running into dead-ends and loops as you try to find your way out?
Indigo is a strategy game of tile placement and route building in which players are attempting to get various gems from the center of the board through their “gateways” on the edges of the board to score points. Players are each building their own pathways, in a maze-like sort of way, to maneuver the gems around the board, through their own gateways, and away from those of their opponents. Each player receives one tile, and on their turn, plays it to the board. Tiles can be placed anywhere on the board, they don’t necessarily need to be placed adjacent to other tiles. If you play a tile to extend an existing route with a gem on it, move the gem as far along that route as possible. After playing a tile, you draw a new tile to be played on your next turn. The game continues until all gems have been claimed, and then points are added! Gems are worth points depending on their color, and the player with the highest score wins!
I think Indigo is such a neat game. It is so simple, yet strategic, and that makes it so much fun for me to play. The board itself becomes a visual maze as tiles are added, and you must be diligent about watching which pathways are open and available to you, while also trying to make sure you keep pathways blocked off towards your opponents. The possibilities are endless with this game in terms of tile placement and strategy, and that keeps me engaged the entire game. I also love the fact that all players only have 1 tile to play at any given time – you’ve got to make your tile work, you don’t have a hand of tiles from which to choose your best option. That ups the strategy factor even more because one misplaced tile could be the difference between gaining a gem or accidentally giving one away!
Another thing I like about Indigo is just that it’s a pretty game to look at! I think it is so cool to see the board fill up as the game progresses, and you get to watch the maze come to life with each turn. What starts as a mostly blank board soon becomes filled with ribbon-like paths that can lead to anywhere! It’s a neat visual effect for me, and that’s something that drew me into this game in the first place.
Is Indigo the best strategy game I’ve ever played? No. But it is a fun one that keeps me on my toes. With so many possibilities for routes, and the board changing with every tile placed, players are constantly engaged and active in the game. Purple Phoenix Games gives Indigo a swirly 13 / 18.

Merissa (11646 KP) rated Wish (Indigo Dreams #1) in Books
Dec 17, 2018 (Updated Jun 7, 2023)
This is the story of Indigo, a sixteen-year-old girl who dreams of being a ballet dancer. Having taken ballet lessons for years, she understands that it isn't something that will just happen without a lot of hard work. However, she is struggling at the present due to family circumstances. Wish tells her story, about the circumstances and decisions made that set her on the path to her future.
This was very well-written with characters that were believable and fully dimensional. The storyline was well-paced and continued to hold my interest throughout. The romance between Jesse and Indigo actually takes a back seat in the story behind the ballet which makes a nice change in a Young Adult book. You never know which way things will go until you get there. This is not just some "everything is peachy" fluffy book, it is a book that deals with a serious subject, alcoholism, in a very realistic way and shows how it impacts not only the drinker but friends and family too.
This is a very different book that is well worth the time it takes to read. I would like to read more about Indigo and her dreams. Definitely recommended.

Hmm...
I was up until 2am finishing this
I think Alex's view of life was rather warped for the first 66% of this book. Everyone is an employee, not someone he's known for years and are really his closest friends. I guess that fame can change you but a lot of the time at the beginning, I wasn't really liking Alex so much.
He did grow on me though and by the 80% mark I was crying like a baby. Everything seemed to happen all at once then but it was Alex after rehab that had my heart melting more, especially when he saw Indigo with the baby. So cute!

I'm developing a "bad" habit with making lists as reviews now... and have no clue why. Maybe it's the fact that it's usually concise and straight on? O_o
I'll let you guys be the judge. Oh, and this won't be a listyish review.
Well, I can't take us down memory lane, because unfortunately, despite the fact I recently did a skim-a-refresh-a-thon with both Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series, I still don't remember half the things that happened in the prior books.
The really unfortunate part is the fact I can't go do another one because I'm pretty much piled high on books. And this isn't the ever so famous TBR.
But keep the tomatoes to yourself, fandom peeps. Really. I'm probably asking for mercy from my friend on a daily basis already (oh, and if the anonymous friend is reading this... well. Hi. Forgive me? :D?).
That friend might also murder me for forgetting, which is why I'm asking for a spare of life... O_o
So basically throughout the entire course of the book, I was practically wondering how in the world I didn't remember the little details for some books... but I do for others. And I was making a lot of ">_<." (I have Booknesia?! :o)
The thing is, I'm extremely glad Sydney's taken some advice from a fifteen-year-old. And if my tiny fragments of memory will allow me to remember, Sydney's also changed quite a lot from the prior two books throughout the course of The Indigo Spell.
I may have also been warned of a major cliffhanger. I was bracing myself for the last words.
Pillow? Check. Music? Check. Book? Check-ity-check. And then I basically tucked myself in and braced for the "worst" that might get thrown at me.
This might get a nice tomato thrown at me, but...
It wasn't so major. I am totally eh about it.
But do I still want to read the fourth book when it comes out?
Why yes. Yes, I am.
And I would love to have a callistana. I picture it as cute and adorable...

not quite as good as book one
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
Marek has been sent a lower league after one too many outbursts on the ice. He knows this could be his last posting. After yet another outburst, Marek is forced to try to lower his anger levels and who better than the most lovely neighbour of his, Shey, who just happens to be the owenr of a yoga studio? Helps that Shey pushes all of Marek's buttons, but does Marek push Shey's? Can Marek get his temper under control enough to help Shey when his past comes back to haunt him?
I really enjoyed this one second book in the Colors of Love series, not quite as much as book one though! My only gripe (and this WILL make you laugh once you read my review for Lost In Indigo!) was that only Marek has a say!
Told ya!
I'll explain. In my review for Indigo, I said that Ms Locey has a way of negating my dislike of single point of view but strong voiced characters. And while Marek has a strong voice, it's not AS strong as Matt in Indigo, and here, I really missed that! I have NO clue why Marek isn't up to muster cos the man has a LOT to say: about his hockey, his career, his attraction to Shey, his feelings (once they hit him square in the face!) for Shey, and just how he feels about that cat! It's maybe just Marek himself, who didn't push MY buttons, maybe it's just me, I dunno! I hate not being able to say!
I did enjoy the way Shey's home crept up on Marek, very quickly, he was calling Shey's apartment, HIS home. I loved Shey's history, and his grandma! The twist with the past was a surprise, and I loved how Marek handled that, even if it cost him so much. Shey really is his whole world!
Other than the hockey theme, and the colours in the titles, I'm not sure I see a common thread, but is Arn, Marek's agent, the same one that is Matt's agent?? The name rang a bell, is all!
I'm sorry this is far shorter than my usual fayre, I'm not doing so well with my reading at the moment, and my reviews are few and far between.
A very VERY good. . . .

Merissa (11646 KP) rated Blinded (Club Indigo #5) in Books
May 12, 2020
Blinded is the fifth book in the Club Indigo series and we start off with our main male character having to have PT due to a climbing accident. Sandra, our PT, is determined to help this grumpy patient and then have absolutely nothing to do with him. The only trouble is, he's a member of the Club Indigo, the same as she is, and he is a master of the ropes, which is something she wants to do more. Sandra has her baggage to contend with and GT has more than few walls to knock down.
This was a great addition to the series. Like with the others, I would say you could read it as a standalone but to get the most out of it, I would recommend reading them in order. Characters from previous books are mentioned so I found it helpful to have read their story first.
I loved how Karen Nappa managed to intertwine Sandra's relationship with her mother (dysfunctional, people!!!) with her budding relationship with GT. I found her fears and concerns completely relatable and, as someone who also shuts down and runs away rather than have a confrontation, I found her reactions to be completely realistic. The Colour Run sounded like so much fun but I would have killed GT for his "little surprise." 🤣
This was a brilliant addition to the series that I loved reading and I can't wait to see who comes next. Absolutely recommended by me.
(P.S. - please let me find out who was the first Top on the Blind Date night!! PLEASE!!!!)

Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated Indigo Incite (Indigo Trilogy, #1) in Books
Jan 23, 2020
Well, in a few words, Indigo Incite was quite the snooze fest. It has an interesting premise, yes, but quite DULL. There's nothing much going on. Nothing!
It started out interesting, of course, with all those seriously cool powers but over the course of the book, there really was nothing going on. I was really just hoping it would slowly build up and end with a good pow.
It honestly didn't. It was like Nikita in walking through very deep snow motion, and I actually like Nikita. It's certainly not as interesting as Grimm though. I'm not even surprised by the end. It's obvious and doesn't exactly take brains to figure out the most logical answer.
Then again, I could be surprised by the second book, but I'm pretty sure I won't be surprised. I probably won't be surprised on what may happen at the end of the trilogy either, but that's yet to be seen. *doesn't really plan on reading further on the series unless things spice up a notch in action*
<blockquote>A few different people some good, some not so good. Do you have time to talk? My name is Sarah, by the way.</blockquote>
Essentially it's a repeat of "Hi, I'm so and so. Can we talk?" in a different style. I stress SLOW. Too much talking. Less talking, more action. I have a semi-short attention span and I have other books on my review queue to read that are most likely more interesting than a bunch of dialogue. >_<
Let me backtrack a little. Indigo Incite isn't full of dialogue, but it simply felt like it's all talk and no action, if you know what I mean?
Maybe it's the random commas that just felt really out of place. I really thought that was the main reason for the slow going of things. I eventually ignored them, but still... nothing interesting going on. Zzzzz. *yawns*
<blockquote>Come on, boys. Henry waved the gun toward the door. Lets walk. First, Ill take that disc off your hands.</blockquote>
What happens next? ATTENTION: SPOILER ALERT! Hellooo, the police barge in. -_-
Typical bad guy gets caught by the authorities and real life stuffy. -_-
I thought Tyler and Toby would go all Jackie Chan on Henry and things will finally have some SPICE. I adore spices. Particularly cinnamon and does gingerbread marshmallows count? It contains ginger and they're delicious. Quite cheap right after Christmas too. I don't mean those Asian herbs that look like alien fingers, though for all I know they're the same thing. :D

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2067 KP) rated Indigo Slam (Elvis Cole, #7) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Elvis Cole is hired by three children to find their father. He left them to search for work two weeks ago, which is the longest they’ve ever been gone. When the trail leads him to Seattle and evidence that the family was in witness protection at some point, Elvis realizes things are much more complicated than they first appeared. Has he stirred up old danger for the family?
The book starts strong and never really lags as it works its way toward an exciting climax. I was certainly hooked the entire time. While I still feel that Cole and his PI partner Pike are closer to caricatures rather than full characters, the rest of the characters pulled me fully into the book. My only real complaint was the lack of follow up on one thing from the previous book which could have really fueled some character growth for Elvis.

A slow-burner
From the author of a who-dunnit story with a difference, If I Die Before I Wake, comes a dark, family drama about the search for the truth behind the death of a young teenager.
Lou is dead ... did he fall, did he jump or was he pushed? His mother, Alice, wants to know why. The police think he was pushed and have arrested Kane. Kane's mother, Indigo, is convinced her son is innocent and so it begins.
This is a slow burner that delves into the psyche of a mother's love for her child. There is tension and heart-rending emotion as you would expect with the subject matter being as it is. The writing is easy to read, the language used is natural and the characters well developed and flawed making them believable.
As I said, this is a slow burner and I do admit to becoming a little impatient at times but I was pretty satisfied with how everything came together at the end.
Another successful book from this author and one which I look forward to reading more from and I want to thank, once again, Random House UK, Vintage Publishing and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.
