Becs (244 KP) rated As Night Falls in Books
Oct 2, 2019
Highlights: I love the cover, it gives off that thriller vibe. Great read, couldn’t put it down. Had me hanging onto every word from the beginning even though there were a few slower moments in the book.
Style: Medium read, not too heavy and also not too light of a read.
Point of View: Third-person
Difficulty Reading: As Night Falls was a pretty easy read for me, but I tend to find Thrillers a little easier to read. I wouldn’t say this was a light read but it’s also not a heavy read, lying somewhere in the middle. There were a few parts that had me taking a bit more time trying to read and understand what was going on but these moments were far and few in between all the good parts!
Promise: As Night Falls promises a psychological suspense thriller that will keep you on your toes while you gain a love for the characters, it delivers.
Quality: All-around great read. Defiantly recommend to everyone who likes Thriller reads, even if it’s just a little bit.
Insights: You will either love this book or you will hate it, there’s no in between. For me, this was a love relationship that deserves many other rereads.
Ah-Ha Moment: When Nick reveals that he is the brother of Sandy, I had to stop reading for a moment to ponder the thought and what all was revealed already throughout the book that gave it away.
Favorite quote: “These days, her daughter could make obedience sound like defiance.” – Pretty much sums up the way of children haha.
What will you gain: A love relationship for Sandy and her family, this includes Harlan (as he’s like Hodor from Game of Thrones – innocent and being controlled by Nick). And an ‘I want to kill you, you scum’ relationship with psycho Nick. Plus a great thriller read that deserves so much more love than what it currently is getting!
Aesthetics: Cover was what pulled me in at first. Then the switching from past and present was hard to get into the first couple of chapters, but I feel like it helped shape the book.
“Timing was going to be key.”

A Classic Movie
This is one of my all time favourite films. I've probably watched this film 50+ times (not an exaggeration) and I would happily watch it today.
What I love about this films is not only has this got fantastic choreography and music, but a steamy love story too. I like how even though Patrick Swayze's character is a sexy cool bad boy, but there is also a sensitivity to him as well,
I also like that the main female character is pretty, but also has brains too.
I will never tire of this film and if you haven't watched this yet (where have you been?!), I'd definitely recommend it.

Title: The Fault In Our Stars
Author: John Green
Read Dates: May 28th-31st
Why did I choose to read this book?
I chose to read this book because I just had thyroid removal surgery because of a tumor that was size of a tennis ball and was pushing my windpipe and stuff back that I found out is either cancer or precancerous also have other medical issues like my brain tumor. But read this because I felt I could relate to it.
Did I like it? Yes
Four things I liked about this book:
1. I can relate to how she is feeling. For example how she says she feels like a grenade I feel the same about my medical issues and don't want to hurt my family/friends either. It was very emotional.
2. I love the love story between Hazel and Augustus
3. I like how she doesn't give up
4. I like the thing Augustus did for her at the end
One thing I disliked: That Augustus dies it made me cry
Do I recommend this book? Yes
Questions for you:
1. Have you read this book?

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Vampire Bites in Books
Jan 18, 2018
It's been awhile since I read vampire stories, but his boxset was a great way to reintroduce myself back into them. What I love about (quality) box sets is that if one story isnt for you, you can move on to one that is. I have read some pretty garbage boxsets, but in this one, even if I dont like the story, I cannot find fault in the writing. These authors are talented and know how to write.
