Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Entice (The Violet Eden Chapters, #2) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I really enjoyed this.
This series is very complex in some respects but oh, so good when it's on a roll.
I'm still half in love with both Lincoln and Phoenix <spoiler>though now Phoenix has gone all serious bad guy and wanting to revive Lilith</spoiler> - I shouldn't like Phoenix as much, though he doesn't always seem like he's enjoying the stuff he's doing.
The soul mates thing sounds amazing, though it also sounds heart-breaking/soul destroying :/ I hope they make the right choice for each other
Can't wait to read the next book in the series (just not quite yet :))

Tom Turner (388 KP) rated Holy Sister (Book of the Ancestor, #3) in Books

Well, that's definitely going to stay with me for quite some time. There are definer some aspects of the ending of the Book of the Ancestors trilogy that my brain is still trying to compute, but the weird thing is, I don't see that as a negative as I might have done with another book or series. I think this is because everything in this series was so character driven I can't imagine it happening any other way. Mark Lawrence deftly skims not falling into clichés, which is so easy when it comes to ending a Saga. Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!

Rizzoli & Isles are Back
A murder investigation based on the the death of a nun, and one in a critical condition, inside the walls of their convent. The nuns were brutally and savagely attacked, and Rizzoli & Isles were called to the scene to figure things out.
In this well written novel you can expect some twists and turns, some surprising moments and an in depth view behind the facades of these two strong females.
The third in the series did not disappoint.

Merissa (13705 KP) rated Unashamedly Us (Offbeat Shifters #4) in Books
Apr 14, 2021 (Updated Jul 27, 2023)
UNASHAMEDLY US is the fourth and final book in the Offbeat Shifters series and concludes both Austin and Charlie's story, plus the series so far. I say so far because I really hope to return to this world in the future!
Three months doesn't sound that long, not until you realise you're not going to see the one you love during that time. This hits both Charlie and Austin at the same time. They've spoken about their future, and it's all good until that separation rears its ugly head.
Oh, this book made me so happy and so mad!!! I hated that record label, I really did! Their attitudes sucked and I really felt for Charlie. I think the way this story was finished, giving everyone their HEA, was simply perfect. Charlie and Austin deserve each other, just as Jesse and Isaac do.
I could ramble on and on, going into way too much detail about this or that happening, but instead, so I don't spoil it for anyone, I will just say this book is the Star of the Crown for this series. Everything I could ask for, and more!
The pacing is perfect, the overall story arc is finished, we get glimpses into Jesse and Isaac's life, plus Charlie and Austin get their HEA. This book brought tears to my eyes in such a good way. There is nothing about this book that I would change!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND both this book and the series. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and get my grubby little mitts on some more Colette Davison books.

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Fairest - Levana's Story in Books
Jan 2, 2019
***If you have not read the series please be aware of possible spoilers. These books are NOT stand alones and must be read in order.***
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! While this book technically goes between Cress and Winter I only just read it (3 months after reading Winter which didn't hinder my enjoyment of Winter in the least. However, I DO recommend reading Fairest in the proper order. ). And let me tell you....The moon has been visible every day this week and I keep looking at it and thinking, "Hmmm, I wonder if Levana can see me...."
I do NOT like Levana...AT ALL...And this book did not change that. I do not have compassion for her. I do not see ANY good in her. BUT, this book was REALLY REALLY well written, and it gives us SO MUCH INSIGHT into Levana's past. Although I DO feel bad for the whole reason she wears a veil. Knowing that if that event hadn't taken place that maybe she would have turned out nicer, but it is doubtful. She is a cunning queen. She knows what she is doing, and sees the long term goals. Too bad she didn't have at least a smidgen of good in her. Although she does raise her step-daughter...But let's not get into my feelings on that...Levana is the epitome of evil. Yet the world that Marissa Meyer has created is spectacular.
I borrowed the audiobook copy of Fairest from my local library. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Open Minds (Mindjack Series, #1) in Books
Jul 10, 2018
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This was part of a young adult dystopian box set and I have to say that I am glad that I started with this book. I really enjoyed it.
This was an extremely quick read that kept me captivated for hours. I found myself invested in the characters. This novel is not your typical dystopian book. It deals with mind readers and a society that is scared of evolution. The fact that this was not a stereotypical dystopian really surprised me. I liked the characters and I liked the content. I'm glad that I was able to sit down and take time to read this young adult novel.
Ultimately, I enjoyed this novel. I will definitely continue on in the series and I am excited to read the rest of the box set.

No where near the creepy feel of the first (1 more)
Felt like a low budget rushed sequel
Lazy low budget sequel
This had the potential to become a whole new series of Horror films with a creative new villian. This film has probably ruined that. The story felt like part of a film and not a complete film in its own right. Missed opportunity.
SummerLGrant (185 KP) rated Marvel's The Defenders - Season 1 in TV

Everyone holds their own (3 more)
Goes some way to repairing the damage Iron Fist did to Claire Temple's character
A slow burner with great attention to story
Colour schemes for each Defender spread throughout the series
It took too long for all of them to get together (2 more)
Marvel shows usually have 13 episodes and this had 8 - this impacted the story a lot
Iron Fist
Not a knock-out but still brilliant
Absolutely give it a go.
Contains spoilers, click to show
If you are not already acquainted with this series, and you are a fan of horror and/or psychological thriller fiction, this is an absolutely perfect place to start. It is written in parts, detailing Asakawa’s investigation of a set of mysterious murders and the discovery of a far greater curse. No part is so long as to drag on needlessly, though some are rather short.

Jan 30, 2018
This was a good start to an interesting story..different Atlantis storyline then normal and it early enjoyed it. I am glad I decided to read it and am very glad that chase got better toward the end. I wasn't so sure about him, and still not all that sure but I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I am very glad I got to review this
