Liberty Boston (93 KP) rated The Legend of the Fire Princess (She-Ra Graphic Novel #1) in Books
Mar 15, 2021
I was ecstatic when this was first announced. Honestly it's been on my to buy list for months. Thanks to the pandemic, however, I never got the chance.
So when I found this while browsing Libby for a quick read I grinned like the Cheshire cat and checked it out pronto.
I wasn't disappointed. The art makes it seem like the characters jumped out of an episode.
The story is solid it just...
Ended too quickly I guess?
I mean the ending was good but too fast for me.

thriller dystopian fiction dystopia Rena Willemin End of Faith
Having survived the Covid pandemic and things are returning to 'normal', another illness strikes that could prove just as deadly. Kit, his daughter Rose and partner Lilly find themselves right in the centre as the new pandemic emerges and starts to spread.
There is a very strong sense of tension from the start which grows as Kit and Rose try to evade what you feel is inevitable infection whilst Lilly uncovers a possible family connection and secret Government research and dubious testing practices.
The characters are strong and are believable, the plot is current (maybe a little too current!) and the pacing is good. There is quite a bit of scientific speak which I felt was a bit too much and, I think, wasn't particularly necessary or added to the story that much.
Overall, a decent thriller which kept me engaged and my thanks to Random House UK, Transworld Publishers and NetGalley for enabling me to read Tick Tock and share my views.

I think this film was fine, it wasn't jaw-dropping and it didn't keep you on the edge of your seat, but it wasn't the worst thing ever so I guess that counts for something.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated A Plague Among Us (Mimi Goldman Chautauqua Mysteries #8) in Books
Oct 17, 2021
A Plague Amongst Us is the eighth in the series and it doesn't disappoint. Not only is it fresh and current - using the Covid-19 pandemic as a theme - but it also reminds us about human nature.
Full of twists and surprises you'll be kept guessing all the way through. Strong female main characters are always a plus and this definitely has those.
It would be great to see this turned into a TV series. I can easily see myself sat with my tea and biscuits just like I did when I read it.
