A bit slow mid season (0 more)
Disturbing vision of the near future
Finally got around to watching this series after seeing very high reviews for it. I haven't read the book and didn't know anything about the story beforehand. It's an interesting if dark and disturbing vision of western society being taken back a couple of hundred years. I did find some of the mid season episodes a bit slow and less dramatic at times. Overall though an excellent series.
  
This book was not at all what I expected...not necessarily in a bad way, but it wasn't great either. It took me awhile to get in to the story & I found myself not easily able to connect with the characters. The ending was horrible! I understand that is a series, but come on! It literally stopped in the middle of a plot continuation. I hate that!
To be honest, I don't know that I'd pick up the next book in the series.

fab read
This is the third book in this series by this author. Even though this book is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone read. This is a heart breaking romance story. Another fantastic swoon worthy and sexy read from this author. Amazing well written characters with amazing chemistry between them. This book will keep you reading long into the night. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended read

I don't know about this one. I'm not sure if it has an anime series, or if it's just a manga, but this first volume leaves a lot to be desired. (I just looked, and I guess there is an anime series. I hope it's better!) It's fine in some parts, and in others, the story seems to just appear out of nowhere. It may have potential, but volume 2 won't be moved to the top of my reading pile.

Say what you want but a girl needs her share of brooding vampires and this shows provides just that. I knew the book but I wasn’t very keen to continue the series as I didn’t like reading from her POV, but I always loved the mythology the author built and a TV series is perfect for me.
The locations are amazing (even though I’ve never seen Venice so empty xD) and the story is compelling. Can’t wait for the second season!

Came across this on Netflix and thoroughly enjoying it, completely different to what I normally watch. Am about half way through series one and is compelling. It is a political drama based in Australia with twists and turns, the only problem is that I keep expecting the unusual to happen as Anna Torv plays the main role of a journalist but those into sci-fi may remember her from the series Fringe and to be honest I haven’t seen her in anything else.
  
this is a sweet enjoyable follow up read in this series. this book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. this author gives you fab characters in an amazing story. the story is well paced and very enjoyable to read. this book is perfect for relaxing either on the beach or on the sofa. i cant wait to read more from the author in the future.

This is the second book in this series but can be read as a stand alone read. I was hooked from the first page with this story. I fell in love with the characters from the start. this author never disappoints to bring you amazing alphas. The secondary characters provide the story with a light hearted feel. I can't wait to read more in this series from this author in the future.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a sexy romantic comedy story. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. The characters were perfect, the playboy millionaire meets the adorable scientist. This is such a fun read, I just couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it. I can't wait for more from this author.
