Confusing if you haven't read the mortal instruments series. (0 more)
I love this book. It it's fast paced, entertaining, and has great characters. Cassandra Clare's writing gets better with each consecutive novel. However, I would definitely recommend reading at least the first book in the Mortal Instruments series first otherwise the world the book is set in may be confusing.

One to binge on
A great series overall. The first series was short and sweet around 7 episodes. It may take until the 3rd episode for you to be hooked but you will be. The scenarios the mix of characters get themselves into will make you laugh and grimace at the same time.

So far, this 3rd book has been my favorite of the series. It is very suspenseful. There are lots of deaths, so many that at one point I thought, "How can this series possibly keep going?" But as usual, George R.R. Martin has tricks up his sleeves. And let me say, that I didn't see any of them coming at all!

This installment of the Dexter series was a disappointment. It veered off the tried & true Dexter story line into one of ancient gods. Really!? It took me a lot longer to slog through, but it wasn't bad enough to keep me from continuing with the series. Here's to hoping Linsey has something better up his sleeve for the next book.

For me I think this was where the series really started to drag. So much time spent on describing horses, riding dresses and in-fighting between "sisters". Some fairly major events of the series occur in this book but so much of it is spent sorting out the weather. Some really exciting action scenes but dragged out over far too many pages.

After reading some heavy duty emotional books I had to return to a series that always makes me smile. The relationship between JD and Candace is what we all strive for in life. The fact that they deal with all the craziness, ups and downs with love and laughter makes this series so enjoyable. Also, there is always some 'bible study' thrown in.

The Tidal Poole (Elizabeth I, #2)

6.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
Not the most plausible series, but it is entertaining and that's why it's called fiction. I did enjoy the first book better, but <i>The Tidal Poole</i> kept me reading and the mystery was well-done. If you're a history buff, better skip it, but if you enjoy reading just for the sake of reading, I recommend the series. :)

Another excellent series
A very good series, better than the second one for me. It's well written and the acting, especially from Mahershala Ali is excellent. I like the way it varies from the initial investigation in the 80's, again 10 years later and 25 years after the case. If you like a good mystery check this out.

OMG I loved this book so much!
This series is like the Hunger Games combined with Jurassic Park! Its an easy smooth read with interesting characters, action and the whole package! I would recommend this to any YA fan that wants a new unputdownable trilogy... I will warn you though that when you finish the series it will break you!!

After?
As someone who read the After series, I feel like the movie could've been better. Scenes moved through too quick and one of the main characters Hardin Scott was portrayed as a nice, kind guy in the movie. Overall I feel like After would be better as a Netflix series which would comprise of three seasons, one for each book.
