graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Unleash the Night (Dark Hunter, #8; Were-Hunter, #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
This was a wonderful book! Ever since Wren was introduced I had been eagerly anticipating his addition (along with many more who we haven't heard from yet! grr! :P), and I was not disappointed! I really enjoyed the relationship between Wren and Maggie; their story was sweet and spicy. I did miss some of the Dark-Hunter aspects, especially Simi and Ash, but it's nice to have a break from the DH storyline every now and then. Especially when Ms. Kenyon has barely broken into the Were-Hunter part of her world. Anyway, as I said before (well, sorta), Wren and Maggie were great and in a way, they seemed more realistic than some of the other couples, more-so with Maggie. Another awesome book in this thrilling series! :)
ClareR (6253 KP) rated The Affacombe Affair (Pollard and Toyne #2) in Books
Nov 21, 2018
A great, old-fashioned, cosy mystery!
I have really enjoyed the first two books in this republished series - I honestly didn’t expect to. It’s such a nice, comfortable read though. The storyline nicely plays out (well, as nicely as a murder can!), the characters are all very likeable (especially Pollard and Toyne), and the way they go about their investigations is really rather interesting. This is not a story set in modern time - it’s set in the 1960s, so before DNA testing and all of the technology that we have today. So the story hangs on old fashioned humans using their brains and experience to work it out. I like these stories a lot, and I’m very glad that Sapere books sent me a copy to read and honestly review!

At the cheapest level, this is a cheap way to watch the kinds of series/films you want to watch without adverts or waiting. Having created the entirely new concept of "binge watching", Netflix have made it easier to watch on your PC, laptop, tablet or mobile phone, moving from one to the next almost seamlessly. As a citizen of the UK, this is a great alternative to having to pay a license fee to not watch 99% of the available programming. Particularly as the license fee is now over double the cheapest Netflix subscription.
The regular addition of new shows means there's always something to watch, although it should be remembered that they do also remove shows, sometimes.

Merissa (14056 KP) rated Lord of the Vampires (Royal House of Shadows, #1) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
This book is the first of a set of four, written by four different authors. It started with a single idea - rewrite fairytales with a mystical twist. Collectively, it's called the Royal House of Shadows.
I've enjoyed Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series and wanted to see how she would write under a "Mills & Boon" title!!!
I enjoyed this book and read it in one evening. It is a fast-paced book, not 'heavy' at all, although there are some twists and turns to the story as it involves memories being taken and you have to stay up to date with who did what to whom.
On the whole, a pleasant read. It didn't blow my socks off or make me blush but wasn't a waste of time either.

So, Flashpoint.
One of the most famous Flash stories - recently covered (briefly) in the DC TV series of the same name, during season 2.
In which Barry Allen wakes up at his desk to find the world he knows has changed drastically: there's no 'Man of Steel, nobody has ever heard of The Flash, and Wonder Woman and Aquaman are at war with each other.
All of which, over the course of the story, eventually comes to be because of a single change in the past, with that oen chagne leading to a domino effect and creating this world.
Reading this, it's also not hard to see why it is one of the more famous Flash stories and is (currently) rumoured to be the foundation for The Flash's upcoming Big Screen debut ...

Hot!
The book in the series following the delectably naughty NHL team follows the dark and mysterious Randy (yes that’s right, his name is Randy, Randy Balls) and Lily the figure skater who didn’t quite hit if off when they met in #2.
Join them as they “just” have fun which becomes more...
I am not sure why I liked this one more than the last, but feel that perhaps the characters in this one are more relatable, and it’s massively heavy with intense energy! You can almost feel the longing between these two characters in the way its worded and their actions throughout! By the end I was almost ready to beg Randy (and Helena if it hadn’t of happened) for a happy ending between the two!

Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated Geekerella (Once Upon a Con #1) in Books
Mar 26, 2020
Geekerella is such an adorable and cute read featuring everything fandom related. It’s a retelling of Cinderella with a happily ever after and set at a convention, which really makes the inner fangirl in me sigh happily. The first novel in Ashley Posten’s Once Upon a Con series is a quick and light read for those who enjoy cute romances with fandom.
Side note: my local library removed this from the Hoopla catalog when I tried renewing it back in June and I may or may not have cried a little inside. I had to put this on my TBR again and start it over, rude much??? I still appreciate all they’ve done, though. (Other than the fact I more than likely lost my soul during my childhood within the shelves.)
