I loved the idea behing this story!
  The first thing that drew me in was the cover and then I read the discription and was very excited.
   However, this story did not live up to it's potential. Which I am sad about, I really excpected more. There were places that felt like there were missing pages, emotions that didn't really seem to fit the situation. Also usually you see a gradual growing of the characters thoughout the book amd that was not the case here. The main character was just as immature as when the story began.
  Overal the storylime could be great but it definitely missed the mark in my book.
   I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feed back. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Once you start with the series, the only way is forward. So here you go, third book of Vanessa Munroe’s series and of course I liked the book but could’ve been better? The answer is yes. Even though the book had interesting characters it was quite slow paced and Munroe’s amazing abilities didn’t shine that much. Some of Monroe’s decisions were predictable and not very smart. Badford was doing great job in this book and he was the active one this time. I missed the action from Munroe’s side, as she was really passive this time. “The doll” itself was sometimes very annoying and stupid, and it was sad to see Munroe to put up with it. It was interesting and easy to read this book but it was missing the “wow” factor.

Once again only four stars

This is only the 2nd out of five or six of the authors books that I've given four instead of five.

I loved young Louis and protective Josh, and Dallas, and seeing Trip and Luther and a few others from the authors previous books but once again something was missing for me.

Yet once again I can't quite pinpoint what it was. Maybe it was the slow burn that didn't really start to show into about the 40% mark, or maybe the fact that it didn't become truly a thing until long after that--about 70%. It wasn't obvious for a long time which guy Diana was going to end up with, which didn't help.

Nevertheless, I look forward to reading more of Mariana's books.

4.5 stars.

I'm ashamed to say that this is my first N.R. Walker. I need more of her work if they're all like this! (And the fact that in her author info bit she put that she likes it when "they do naughty things together...but she likes it even more when they fall in love.) My type of author!

I loved the setting. I seem to have quite a thing for cowboys! I loved how she went about writing their slow progression into a relationship. I loved how she evolved her characters.

I just need more Charlie and Travis full stop.

My only complaint was the editing. A slight thing, I know, but words were missing and some were added that weren't needed. Other than that I loved it :)

I usually wait until the end of a season to post about a show I've watched, but after just the first episode of Lovecraft Country I had to make sure everyone knows about this new show. From the opening scene I was sucked in with the force of an alien's tentacle. While hitchhikers may have a guide to the galaxy, in 1950's America a guide had to be written letting traveling black people know where it was safe to travel and stop during said travels. While writing the guide and also searching for a missing family member, the main characters played by the amazing talents of Jonathan Majors, Courtney B. Vance, and the oh so beautiful Jurnee Smollett are having to battle two evils, alien creatures and racist white men.
