Fantastical setting
Well written
On the second Sabbat of Twelfthmoon, in the city of Weep, a girl fell from the sky. Her skin was blue, her blood was red.
From the from the opening to the last page this story sucked me in and didn't let me go. Granted it was slow at times but the descriptions were so intoxicating. It could easily have been too poetic or too much but the author always seemed to toe the line just right. Recommended if you're in the mood for a dreamy romantic fantasy.

this book is the perfect summer read that you'll want to read all day in the sun. this book has it all, some emotional parts, some that will make you laugh out loud, lots of light hearted moments and the hot steamy scenes making the pages set alight. I loved the characters and how the interacted with each other, the banter between them was very well written. this is definitely a fantastic romantic read that you'll want to keep reading till the last page. this author has a fab way of writing so that you just eat up every page written. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Sarah (7800 KP) rated The Rules of Seeing in Books
Nov 16, 2018
A good but unremarkable read
This is one of those books that I struggle to say much about. It was a nice, easy read but was ultimately very unremarkable. It was written fairly well, and the two main characters of Kate and Nova were engaging and well developed. I think the main problem with this story was that whilst the plot isn’t bad, it’s a bit predictable and not particularly interesting. Nova’s story is the more interesting of the two, and her outlook on life once she gets her vision back along with her ‘rules of seeing’ are fascinating and good to read. I just wish the plot could have concentrated more on this rather than developing into a typical romantic thriller type story.
David McK (3562 KP) rated Lion in the Valley (Amelia Peabody, #4) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The fourth of Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody series of books, this again sees the Victorian archaeologist return to Egypt, in the company of her husband and precocious son.
As before, they are then caught up in a mystery surrounding a murder as well as the usual romantic entanglements for these novels. This also sees the return of the 'Master Criminal' from the previous books, who is both named (obviously not his real name) and looks like becoming a recurring character in the series as a whole.
I found this to be a diverting enough read, but not up to the standards of the first novel, perhaps due to the fact that I am now familiar with the type of story it is.

themaxdog (14 KP) rated Highland Spring in Books
Jul 17, 2019
Spring is a feisty Scottish warrior woman and a refreshing change from the usual damsels in distress that permeate novels of this genre and period. However, once her father arranges her marriage to Shaw, laird of Edinvale Castle and her clan's sworn enemy, this young woman's life changes forever.
One of my favourite things about this story was Spring's character development. Throughout the story, she uncovers more and more of the truth and discovers what it truly means to belong along the way. Fun, romantic, and at times, steamy, this is a great starting point to delve into the world that author Elizabeth Rose has created.
Highland Spring is a quick, light read - perfect for keeping you busy on a rainy weekend!

Teenage romantic subplot
Spider-Man: Far From Home is another slam dunk for Tom Holland’s web-slinger. With a script that perfectly balances humour and emotion, it may be the funniest MCU film yet, this is a film with massive re-watch value with lots of nostalgia and a fabulous cast. Nevertheless, the dodgy special effects do pull you out of the illusion at times and that just stops it from achieving a perfect five stars.
Stick around for two post-credit sequences in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
