Jessica - Where the Book Ends (15 KP) rated Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
This book was a good first book to a series. It starts off quite slow and there are a lot of characters that get thrown at you all at once. The author seems to jump from one thought to another without completing the first one. It takes some getting used to. Overall not a bad book. The series is one i will continue reading.

I wasn't too impressed with this first book. Not much happened apart from one curse that was affecting a handful of shifters and finding out about Jade's past with Samir, who I'm assuming will make an appearance at some point in the series. As for the romance with Alek, I wasn't really feeling it but that might change as the series progresses.
Reading the trio boxset.

This series is so action packed at times, it's like a movie or tv show.
I figured that Sara and Nikolai would be something like that--I've read too many books about werewolves and vampires and the like to not figure it out.
I could happily stay up and read the third book in the series right now but I don't currently have it.

That ending.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Clicked spoilers as I don't want to ruin for anyone that wishes to start watching it.
I actually hated the ending of this so much - watched the whole series for it to end up being essentially obsolete. I like the series a lot but the ending ruined it for me.

Joy (The Dreughan #3) by Lena North
Joy is the third and final book in the Dreughan series, and this time it is Troy's turn. I have been waiting for his story, because he has shown hints of not being the 'clown' all the time, and I couldn't wait to see deeper into his character. Let me just say, I was NOT disappointed.
Not only do we see more of Troy, and how he feels about Vilda and Sannah, but we also see more about who he is, how he works, and just what he will do for those he calls family. I am happy to say Valerian is his brother, so we get more of him. We see Troy really coming into his own, with the full and complete support of Rinna backing him up.
This amazing story would get more than 5 out of 5 if I could, but I don't think you can do 6 or more stars out of 5. I was sobbing throughout parts of this story, the emotions were there and would not be denied. The epilogue just about killed me, it was sheer perfection.
I have said throughout this series, that there have been errors. Just simple ones like words being misspelt, or the wrong group being blamed for a murder, but I have to emphasise to you - THIS DID NOT MATTER. Yes, I noticed them, and then I dismissed them as I was too wrapped up in the characters and the story.
This is a spectacular ending to this series, and lucky me, I have the Birds of a Feather series to read next. I bought this series on the back of ONE book by this author, and I am so glad I did. It is money well-spent in my opinion. I have loved the world she has built, the characters who have grown so much, and of course - Dragons!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Underworld (Abandon, #2) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
I'm not sure about this series.
Not much seems to happen in the 300 odd pages of this book; it seemed like--maybe it did?--everything happened in the space of a few hours, which equally made it seem like an easy read and like I couldn't be bothered to read it because it seemed to drag.
The best bit for me happened around the 270pg mark. John became really...hot and forceful-ish with Pierce and I was actually kinda giddy, but of course this being a YA book no details are given. Boo!
I haven't decided yet whether I'll finish the trilogy, though it does seem a shame to read only 2/3's of the series.

Keeps you guessing
Brilliant cast
Not your usual storyline
Absolutely brilliant, could not recommend more!
I find with a lot of shows that it's easy to predict what the story is leading up to, but not with this one. It is unlike any other series I have watched and keeps you on your toes. Multiple times I thought I'd figured out where it was going but OH NO, another twist gets thrown in.
I cannot wait for the next series after the cliff hanger series 1 ended on. I'm sure it will be just as thought provoking and exciting as the first.
(If you like to read, I think people who like Manifest would enjoy reading 'The Three' by Sarah Lotz)

Great cast (1 more)
Well written
Brilliant
Possibly the best series yet. Despite the shocking ending of the last series I did wonder if this series might dip a bit below the others. I need not have worried. It carries on much the same with another gripping story and with others close to realising the truth about Dexter. With 2 great guest stars, Peter Weller the original Robocop and Julia Stiles who is great. Again another gripping finale after more close scrapes.
David McK (3632 KP) rated Fortress of Spears (Empire, #3) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The third book in Antony Riches <i>Empire</i> series of novels which, while better than the last, if I'm honest I still found to be pretty slow going, plodding and just not really all that exciting.
As before, I could never really connect with any of the characters or with the events described and, as such, just found this to be at times a bit of a tedious read.
3 books in and I've yet to really enjoy the series: maybe it's just not for me!
