What would you do?
In The Killer's Family we follow the story of the 3 sisters who discovered the devastating evidence and the impact this has on their lives and their relationships with each other and then everything is turned on its head when Gemini strikes again ... and again ...
Who really is Gemini?
This is a dark story with a number of twists that I found riveting and would recommend to lovers of this genre.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Dear White People - Season 1 in TV
Oct 11, 2017 (Updated Oct 11, 2017)
Sam, the feisty radio host of Dear White People and activist on campus, is one of the main characters, split between six others, showcasing an array of diverse voices and talent. The name is self-explanatory but all I can say it begins on the premise of a "blackface" party held by some of the white students on site. It is horrifying, but it is current and highlights racial tensions in America today.
From gay black characters, to interracial relationships - there is a plethora of storylines weaved into each episode. Fantastic series.

Sooo..... YYEAAAAHHH this was crap.
Not in the worst way imaginable but this was a high struggle for me to get through.
But i couldn't put it down.
I was going to DNF this at first due to the writing and the dialect and the god awful main characters but after 100 pages in I put myself back in my freshman years and holy crap did this book do Freshman 1st love justice.
I remember thinking a lot of the same things and being that over-exaggerated at that age
But it was still a struggle not to continue to roll my eyes through most of this.
I was okay with the ending .
It gave it a fresh take on real relationships and i could appreciate the author ending it the way he did.
I definitely want to try another book from this author that's not in YA.
I enjoyed this book a great deal. It was easy to read for being a book on brain science. It was written in a very non-high brow way. The book explained the theory of brain plasticity & how the "changeability" of the brain impacts our lives. There were sections on relationships, addiction, learning, strokes, & the part I found the most interesting the development of the Fast ForWord program which we use at the school.
If you are curious about the brain & how it is able to change & heal or harm itself this is a must read!
