Cumberland (1142 KP) rated Daughter of the Siren Queen: Daughter of the Pirate King Book 2 in Books
May 10, 2019
Not As Good As The First One
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, so I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately a lot of the things I loved so much about the first one didn't really shine through as well here. I still enjoyed Alosa's character, but the direction of the story did her a disservice. The story just left me feeling disappointed.

Not sure on this one at all, and need a bit of time to think it through, but personally, I think they should have left it at 'These Happy Golden Years'. The characters don't seem to match up with what we've seen in the other books, especially Laura, and I think, sadly, that this is one of the Little House series that I don't recommend.
Night Reader Reviews (683 KP) rated Sleeping Beauties in Books

Wonderful book. I have recommended this one to so many people. The entire concept makes me think although I can point out one major flaw. Most females can not happily live with each other before fights break out (at least in my experience) other than that one thing it was a perfect book. I hope to see more of this, maybe even a series in the future?

I was glad to see Kit getting back to normal in this one, or as normal as she could be after the horror of what happened to her in the last book.
I like a lot of things about this series but there's still something that's not quite there, and I'm hoping it makes an appearance in the next couple of books.
Off to start book 4!

Dean (6927 KP) rated Vacation (2015) in Movies

Better than expected
Carrying on from the old National Lampoon's Vacation series of films. I didn't expect much from this to be honest but found it a lot funnier than I expected. Some good cameos as well. Although it's not as funny as the original, which is hilarious, this does a good enough job of re-creating the fun of the Vacation films.

I'd been interested in this for a while but steampunk isn't really one of my favourite genre's--unless it's by Lindsay Buroker and they have romance in them.
I liked this but it's not my usual read. I guess I could be tempted to read more of the series at some point but I think I'd have to be in the right mood/head space for it.

Christine A. (965 KP) rated A Cut for a Cut (Detective Kate Young #2) in Books
Jul 21, 2021
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review. The opinions are entirely my own, and any quotes are taken from the ARC and may be different in the final published copy.
Detective Kate Young is back in the second installment of Carol Wyer's Detective Kate Young series, A Cut for a Cut. To give a fair review, I read the first book in the series, An Eye for an Eye. Some books in a series can stand alone. With this one, you would benefit from reading the first book.
I am a fan of Wyer's two police procedural series, her DI Robyn Carter series and the Detective Natalie Ward series, and was excited about a new series.
Young is a damaged but determined detective who works with a small team. She is struggling to come to terms with her husband's murder, and her team begins to notice she is not on the top of her game when they are tasked with finding who is sexually assaulting then killing young women. The investigation hits home when one of the victims is a woman the team all know through work. All through this, Kate continues an unsanctioned investigation started in the first book.
Let me just say, if you are a fan of British police procedural and strong women characters, then this or either of Wyer's other two series are ones to read.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Killing Eve - Season 2 in TV
Jun 15, 2019 (Updated Jun 7, 2020)
Good quirky drama
The first series was a bit of a surprise hit. A quirky English drama about a MI6 agent tracking a flamboyant female assassin across Europe. It is very funny at times, in a typical English kinda way. Whilst also being quite violent as well.
The 2nd series picks up 30 seconds after the end of the first series. It's very similar to the first in terms of style, humor. This time a second assassin seems to be in play and Eve makes connections to a bigger plot. It's still just as fun as the first series. It's quite short with 8 episodes around 40 minutes each. I just preferred the cat and mouse storyline of the first series. Fans will love it just as much.

RavenclawPrincess913 (253 KP) rated Finale (Hush, Hush, #4) in Books

Hush Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick
Finished: April 24th, 2019
This series was amazing and has a very emotional ending. I chose to read this series because it's about Fallen Angels. I love Patch's and Nora's relationship and all they went through I'm happy they got the happy ending they deserved. I cried when Patch was able to feel in the end but wish Scott's ending was better though and wished he had survived the war. I was not expecting Vee to be Nephil as well. Marcie's end was sad as well but I'm really glad it worked out for Patch, Nora and her mom in the end.
Do I recommend? Yes

Michelle (114 KP) rated A Court of Wings and Ruin in Books

This is the third book in the series about Freya and her sisters who have been turned into Frae by the cauldron as Freya and her mate and some friends continue their battle against the courts Lords to stop them destroying the human lands and being humans and Fae together. Freya discovers that destroying the cauldron doesn't stop the deaths and destruction happening and ends up forging the pieces back together. They lose their father in this part of the series though they find out that their father loves them even though they are now Fae. Not sure if there is going to be any more in the series. Very enjoyable YA book.
