Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Naked in Death (In Death, #1) in Books

4.5 stars.
This is my first ever J.D. Robb book and it definitely wont be my last. I've read Nora Roberts books before and liked them too, mainly her romantic suspense ones.
I was so caught up in this story, once I really started reading it, and never wanted to put it down for sleep or work or anything. The mix of romance and mystery and police investigation had me hooked from pretty early on.
I think it was the romance mainly. From that first meeting of gazes at the funeral I knew something was going to happen. Roarke was just enough mystery and hotness to compliment Eve and her cool aloofness.
The murders were also a source of great intrigue. There was a list of people who would want to kill these women but I could never figure out who it was, though looking back they were always a little shifty.
I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series and by the author.

Great Story telling
Everything Else
I want to Fight like Lila
I was introduced to V E Schwabs work in January by a friend and i pretty much read all her series in the space of a week an a half. However out of all of her books the darker shade series is my Favorite, Victoria creates an amazing world within world. Her characters are lovable and flawed than will make you love them more. Lila Bard is a fantastic Female protagonist and whilst Kell may be the lead there chemistry together is undeniable.

Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated The Supernatural Enhancements in Books
Mar 15, 2018
It's hard to describe this novel. On the one hand there is a pretty straightforward mystery at its center, full of clever puzzles and hints of conspiracy. On the other though is a possible haunting, a weird romance, and a very unusual narrative structure. The book is told in the form of journal entries, letters, notepad scribblings, security camera transcripts, and other means. This method can be very effective at slowly revealing answers, and may make this possibly the first "found footage" novel, but it also somehow removes the suspense in many scenes, and periodically makes things unnecessarily confusing. Still, I enjoyed reading this book, and would be interested in a sequel, so that should say something.

I absolutely loved the Stanley Kubrick movie that was developed in tandem with this book, but felt that the ending of the film left me wanting some clarification, and so I have finally gotten around to the book in hopes of receiving the explanations I wanted. Luckily, it provided them. It is a very deep, and somewhat surreal story, and it lacks some of the suspense that the movie manages to create around HAL, but the mystery of the obelisks is handled far better in the book and the ending makes exponentially more sense. A great story that is definitely worth a read, especially if one is even remotely into science fiction and/or theoretical physics.
Leah (: (569 KP) rated Designated Survivor - Season 1 in TV
Jan 1, 2019
I absolutely LOVE this show. I watched both seasons over a few days!!
Tom Kirkman is the Designated Survivor which means he is selected to sit out when the whole of the US government meets, so that in the unlikely event of a disaster someone is able to lead the country.
Unfortunately Tom is the least qualified person for the job of The President of the United States, however he has to step up and the series follows his life as he tries his best.
This show has everything: politics, drama, mystery, suspense, conspiracy and is just very gripping!!
Really recommend this series I feel like it probably has something everyone will enjoy.

Oh my days, I was so excited to read this book and it didn't disappoint! I loved the style of writing and I felt like we got to know all the characters, although a little slow in places I loved how it played out. I didn't guess the ending at all so that was a shock, although I feel it could have been a few chapters longer with possibly more explanation and a little bit more of a wrap up of everything, for this reason I think it should be a series! Not because I am sad it ended or anything *Sniff* *sniff* It is just a wonderful book full of mystery and suspense!
