Auburn (57 KP) rated Forbidden Thirteen (Forbidden Legacy, #1) in Books

Apr 10, 2019

13 is a number that can be both good or bad for someone. For Aria it tends to bring out her powers. Yup powers... See she is actually magical and doesn't know it until two hot guys show up and show her the way. You may be wondering, but no this isn't a 2 guys 1 girl story. Sure a love triangle is inevitable but it does get resolved.

In that time we get an adventure, magic, romance, and plots upon plots. One can never know till the end who is on which side and where to put your trust.

Truly this was a well written and inviting story with all the fantasy elements one could want.

this is the first by this author that I've read and it definitely wont be the last. this is a beautiful love story. the author has a fab way of making you feel like your right there with the characters every step of the way. this story flows at a very steady pace through out the book. the characters were very interesting and keep me reading long into the night. the relationship between the characters goes on a journey of lots of ups and downs till they reach the right path. i cant wait to read more by this author in the future.

highly recommended

Georgina DeBurca (2 KP) rated Sex, Wolves and Rock 'n Roll (Lyric Hounds #3) in Books

Jan 29, 2018

This is a slightly different style of book compared to others of this series. It's a male/male romance. And as opposed to leaping into hardcore man on man sex scenes, there is a lot of focus on the emotions. Don't get me wrong, there were romance scenes involving sex acts and they were written perfectly. But the emotions portrayed in this one kept me hooked til the end and I fell in love with the two lovers in this book.

Well written, as normal. No silly errors tripping me up. Good pace. Showed back story. Brought past characters into this story and showed more character development again.

Loved it.

5/5

Would definitely suggest to friends.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Formula for Murder (A Maternal Instincts Mystery, #3) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

New mom and new PI Kate Connelly is in a hit and run, and witnesses identify the car as belonging to someone from the French consulate. The consulate denies it, but it leads to a case for Kate when she sees a reporter leaving and the reporter turns up dead two days later. Was she working on a story on the French consulate that lead to her death? I love the characters, and the story was interesting. It did bog down a little in the middle, but it picked up again for a fun finish.

Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated Reverse Documentary in Books

Mar 15, 2018

This piece of work started off really beautifully. The in-depth imagery was both beautiful and haunting and we got a well built out character in Dino from right at the start. I liked how the documentary was written out so we could see how it was progressing, too.

Then things started to go wrong. After the whole story being in chronological order, it started to become jumbled towards the end, which threw me off completely and seemed to ruin the pace of the story.

I also didn't like the overall message of this... <spoiler>that a man could still be in love with the ghost of his cheating ex girlfriend over the living mother of his child.</spoiler>

Jules (60 KP) rated King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (2017) in Movies

Apr 2, 2018

Disapointing

To be honest I was disappointed in this movie. I thought it would have been a lot better. I love the story or Arthur and his Knights of the round table, and Merlin is one of my favourite tv shows. I feel like this movie had so much potential. It started off good but I think it was too rushed and they skipped from one part to the other so fast it was hard to know what was going on. I think they could taken more time and told the story properly. It wasn't the worst movie and there were parts I enjoyed. It just wasn't that great in my opinion.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Read to Death (A Read 'Em and Eat Mystery, #3) in Books

Feb 21, 2018

Who wouldn't love to visit a cafe that hosts several book club meetings per day? And sells books to boot? This is such a great location, it's a little disappointing to realize that it is only fiction.

In this story, Sassy finds her best friends and room mate the only convenient suspect for murder, and decides to snoop around on her own to clear her pal's name. Throw in a little family drama at home and a business to run, and she has her hands full! This was a fun story, and I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.
