Book two of this series does not disappoint!! All the characters are back and this story line has even more secrets than the first one. You can't help but to fall in love with this author's writing as she quickly pulls you into the story and keeps you enthralled until the bitter end. I can't wait to read the next one!!

OMG, I absolutely LOVED this book! Blake's been one of my fave characters for this series since I started it, and I was so excited to get into his backstory. And believe me, I was NOT disappointed! Definitely check this out if you're any type of fan of The Manhattanites!

5 stars (because they wouldn't let me give any more)

Brilliant casting (0 more)
I've been so looking forward to seeing this, and it did NOT dissapoint.
Sheen and Tennant were a genius bit of casting, there wasnt a single flat moment in the series it all flowed really nicely. Even the things that were different from the book just seemed to make it even better.
In fact I loved this so much I really hope they keep the purity of it and dont get talked into creating a second series.

Aww, that last bit! Nero giving up training to just lounge on a settee with Leda eating caramel popcorn?! Who'd have thought? Haha.

I do enjoy this series very much and most of that is centered around Leda and Nero's relationship, and the friendship she has with many of the other members of the Legion. That's not to say that i dont enjoy reading about their adventures out in the wild.

Looking forward to reading more of this series!

Star Trek: Discovery - Season 5
2024 |
The final series of the most touchy feely of the Star Trek shows where the crew seemingly rely on emotions rather than logic to win the day (whether that's good or bad is up to you), this entire series is really one long treasure hunt: find a clue, follow the path to the next clue, rinse and repeat ...

It looks good, sure, but I'm not (personally) a fan of this approach to Star Trek.

YMMV.

BJERNER AND THE BEAST is the third novella in the Fairytales of the Myth series, which takes fairytales back to the dark days of the Brothers Grimm. The Disney versions, this series is not!

For me, this book took the series back up a notch. I loved the story of Bjerner and Ophidia, even though it broke my heart so many times. Such a bittersweet ending for Bjerner and Ophidia, but tragic what happens after that. I also got to find out what happened to Thalliya!

Miranda Grant certainly knows how to write a story that involves all of your emotions. The pacing is good in this one too, not going too fast to get lost, but with plenty of action keeping your attention.

This one is the best of the series so far, in my opinion. Definitely recommended for all fans of dark fairytales!

4th book in the Stillhouse Lake series
‏I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

Bitter Falls is the fourth book in Rachel Caine's Stillhouse Lake series. To give a fair review, I read the earlier books and I am so glad I did. I will publish reviews on those, but this one will concern only Bitter Falls.

Gwen Proctor, working as a P.I., is tasked with investigating a cold case missing person. As usual with Gwen, things with this case, are not as simple as they seem. The entire family is pulled into the case while trying to stay away from the Hillbilly Mafia who wants Gwen and her family gone. Of course, you can not forget about the internet trolls and the Lost Angels.

As with the other books in the series, this book was difficult to put down. The story is fast-paced and, after Wolfhunter, the family is not able to pretend to "be normal" for long. By making Gwen a P.I, Rachel Caine has ensured this series will be able to continue with new and different cases in each book. I know I look forward to the next adventure of Gwen, the kids, Sam, and their friends/supporters.

Heartbreak Bay, the 5th book in Stillhouse Lake series is available to pre-order.

I have to admit, I was really hesitant to pick up this book. That is one of the reasons it took me so long to finally read this. I fell in love with Cindy Gerard's Black Ops series and I was just not sure if I could make this new series work for me. Fortunately, I am really enjoying this series. "The Way Home" isn't as amazing as the Black Ops books but I think that is because I keep wanting that series back.

The characters are amazingly detailed and I love the emotion and the slight amount of angst that her characters have. The plot was definitely intriguing and it kept me truly entertained and on the edge of my seat while reading. The plot also worried me a little bit and broke me out of my (this is the way it should be) comfort zone.

This is a good book and I cannot wait to start on the next one.

this is the third book in. this series by this author. This book carries straight on from book two. All these books must be read in order they are not stand alone reads. This book is definitely hot. This author definitely knows how to pack a lot into these short stories. Amazing characters with and amazing plot. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
