Debbiereadsbook (1839 KP) rated Forever This Time (Heartbreaker #1) in Books

While everything was dealt with in a sympathetic manner, it all needed to be MORE.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is set in Moonrise Beach, a series by this author, and Ash and Shay are part of that series, but this is their story. I have not read that series, and I do not feel I missed anything for not doing.
This is one of those reviews that will be hard to write. I'm not sure I liked this book, but can't figure out why!
So, I'll comment on what I did like and maybe it will come to me? Let's try.
It's fairly well written, from both Ash and Shay's point of view. Greyson also gets a chapter, he is Ash's best friend, and is married to Dacey, Shay's best friend but I'm not entirely sure what the point of HIS chapter was?
It moves along steadily. The pace of the story and the way Ash and Shay build their relationship moves along nicely, neither want to rush into anything and spoil their friendship.
I felt some of the things that had happened to Shay could have been dealt with in a deeper way, but what does happen was not glassed over. I just felt it needed more, you know?
I think that's my biggest issue. While everything was dealt with in a sympathetic manner, it all needed to be MORE. Yes, my overwhelming feeling about this book was, I needed more, and ya'll know I like to share my book feelings.
When I find a new to me author I ask myself this: Will I read more of this author? My answer for this author is :possibly, but only if the blurb grabs. I will not go back and read the Moornrise Beach series though.

the love triangle
You will not want to miss this book
If this is just book one i cannot wait to carry on reading the rest of the series... it had everything in it, a new discovery, a dark handsome yet unobtainable Ice Prince within a love triangle including Meghan's (main character) best friend, life threatening situations and even heart break!!! This book is one you will not want to put down until you've finished it and even after that your hands will be itching to pick up the next one. Seriously do not miss out; if you love a good fantasy romance then this is most definitely not one to ignore!!

I'll be honest and say that it's the relationship between the five of them that he me keeping reading this series because the hell thing has kinda totally gone over my head in this. I'm not too interested in that part and am just enjoying their bonding (once again). Reincarnation and all that...

I didn't expect the turn of events that occurred - I'm honestly not sure what I expected. I liked Scythe, but I unfortunately can't say I was riveted. The ending made me happy, in every way which is unusual for a book of this genre. However, I don't see myself continuing this series.

Brilliant
I haven't seen series 1 but i did see series 2 which I thought was pretty good, this prompted me to watch series 3. Well it was amazing, finally a set of writers that can write a good ending to a series (after the disappointment of Liar and Dr Foster). I was not expecting what happened at the end. I didn't always quite understand why the perpetrators were doing what they were doing, nor why they made Karl make a choice at the end but it was still gripping.

A darker version of The Craft
For me, this series was a little more mainstream, especially following on from the horrifying second series. It was a little bit of a dated construct - a coven of young witches doing young witch things. Luckily we had the higher level witches fighting against their voodoo counterparts and witch-finders to add some originality to that. There was also a good amount of humour injected through the character interactions and different types of magic.
A good solid series, but not as dark and gruesome as previous series.

Its a film. Jim, not as masterpiece.
If you're a star trek fan, you've already seen this. If you're not, you likely won't watch it. I thoroughly enjoy the movies versus the series. It shows the depths of the years of friendship these people really had. #rip spock, #rip mccoy, #rip scotty

2.5 stars.
I'm still not entirely back into my paranormal/sci-fi reading, and this was maybe a little too sci-fi for my liking.
I was intrigued to start with, then a little bored, then nothing, then a little excitement crept in and then huh...that seemed easy.
I'm not interested in continuing the series.

Pleasantly surprised
Having never heard of this series, I have to say, I really enjoyed it. Set on Sunset Strip in the 1980's, this crime show has everything except big names, but don't let that put you off. It follows the story of the police chasing a serial killer, but unlike most other shows like this, you get to see the story from both the police and the killer alike. I also think that because the story is told over the whole series and not crammed into a one episode slot, it allows a lot more perspective to consider. Roll on Series 2.
