Good stoty

Not up to the high standard we’ve come to enjoy from Marvel shows
Hit&miss

Okay so they avoided the fact that Cloak & Dagger got powers from bad drugs... shame as it would’ve finally left the door open for Sentry.
The story itself wasn’t that bad. Quite a few good twists, a couple of bad guys you’ll love to hate (not quite to Joffery’s level).
Just didn’t have the same kick as Netflix gives its Marvel series... that said, I did enjoy it...

Iris lives a life with everything orderly and controlled. An anonymous gift turns out to be a sick piece of artwork which leads Iris into danger. Can a neighbor and his dog help her find love, comfort, and the ability to trust again?

As with the first book in the Planted series, this is more than just a book of mystery and romance. The underlining story has to do with finding faith, strength, understanding, and support while gaining a deeper relationship with God and his teachings.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Flew right through another one! LOVING this series and I can't finish one fast enough to get to the next. :) One of my favorite aspects of this book is that we get to follow everyone's story... and I'm loving every one of them!? These are some tough MC's guys, yet they all have a genuine soft spot for the women in their lives and while they all struggle with their own relationship drama, you know they are genuine and you can have faith that all will work out. One day read. LOVE this series- Highly recommended!! Onto Book #3!!

Absolutely stunning (0 more)
This is one of the best games all around that I have played in a long time. The story is amazing and really pulls you in. I felt like I was constantly on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the mystery of the game. The graphics were gorgeously done, and there are so many little "extras" thrown in around the world that I'm still playing it, trying to find them all. I recommend this game to all of my rpg loving friends and I would love to see a sequel or even a prequel!

Restores your faith in humanity
A gentle story that deals with some hard issues. The central characters are beautifully created and although you don’t immediately love Eleanor, by chapter 5 you want to rent her your spare room.


She lives her life guarded, hurt and stuck in her routines. She has no interest in the lives of others and struggles to understand the behaviours of her colleagues, but her weekends are devastatingly lonely.


An unusual series of events opens Eleanor’s eyes to lives of those around her and to the beauty of letting others in to your world.

A New Favorite
* I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
I absolutely loved this book. Brandy is one of the best characters I've come across in a while. She's funny, and extremely realistic. Jer her love interest, is a great addition to the story. He has everything going for him in a way that makes him extremely dreamy. He also has just enough flaws to keep him from outshining the other characters.
If you are interested in a romantic comedy featuring a late bloomer, then this is definitely a book you should pick up.

Very well written
I love this book
I loved this book, it is so well written, it draws you in and makes you feel like you are there, brought me to tears a few times. This shockingly true story is a fantastic human look at the atrocities that people suffered in the most notorious concentration camps in the second world war and the real struggle to survive just to beat the Nazi's. I don't think I have read a better book about experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, heart breaking and heart warming.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Fury (2014) in Movies

Fury (2014)
Fury (2014)
2014 | Action, Drama, War
Often compared to Saving Private Ryan for its gritty and unforgiving story of brotherhood and loss.
This time we are shown what it's like to fight from the confines of a dark and cramped tank, and we are shown how each man has to work not only very closely with each other but as one fighting tool.
Brad Pit is quite the actor and is the father figure here and the glue that binds his men together.
One to watch if you love war movies although at times it does feel like an anti war war movie.
