Ashley Catron (66 KP) rated Rebecca's Lost Journals, Volume 4: My Master in Books
Mar 14, 2018
As the last novella in the "Lost Journals" set, "My Master" definitely takes the cake. The journals as a whole really add extra depth to the mystery behind Rebecca's disappearance, and really makes you wonder, 'Why did she leave? Is she okay?' It also sets up nicely for the second book in the "Inside Out" series, "Being Me", if you read it in the correct reading order. While the journals are not needed to understand the series, it definitely helps answer some questions.

Barant nearly lost me in the beginning, because this volume is so very different from earlier ones in the series. It got better, though, and as it did I didn't want to put the book down. However, I have to say that the cliffhanger ending ticked me off. The next volume will have to be really, incredibly good to make up for the cheap trick.
Wait a minute - according to Barant's blog, this is almost certainly the last book in the series. GAH!

OHG this series... dark, sick and twisted and yet so good. This has been by far the hardest in the series to read for me so far.. without sharing spoilers, my heart broke over and over again until I simply couldn't take any more (and then grabbed the next book of course!?). You know those books where your heart races, your blood boils and you find yourself shaking uncontrollably as you have a panic attack while reading....well, this is THAT book!?

Realistic characters
Fantastic heroine
The start of an amazing series
In a world where magic and power go hand in hand, what happens when the balance is shifted? The detail of the world, it's magic and the rules that govern the citizens is fantastic and totally engrossing. So glad that there are now several series all tying in to this one so that you can keep on reading and losing yourself in an alternative world.

Forced Doctor Connection
Surprisingly Amazing
I was pleasantly surprised finding that I actually really enjoyed this series. As someone who enjoyed the previous spin offs from Doctor Who I found that I actually almost liked this better than even Torchwood. It was clear to mehowever that theconnection to Doctor Who seemed a little forced and almost unnecessary as the series could easily have stood on it's own as a really good TV show.

Did the book proud
I was a fan of the comics so when I heard they were making a series I was apprehensive and excited. Would they ruin it or create a gem?
Well here it is and my god it is good. I can't wait for the next series. The casting is incredible, the story makes you very uncomfortable and let's be honest: if normal humans git super powers then this is what they would be like! Mainly arseholes.

Fascinating
A great all round series as a couple of FBI agents interview violent offenders around the US to try and understand their psyche.
If you like crime dramas, or programmes that look at the psychology of serial killers you'll enjoy this. The acting is very good and it feels well made all round. Some of the later episodes seem to go a little off track from the start. But overall it's a very good series on an interesting subject.

Erika (17788 KP) rated The Department of Sensitive Crimes (Detective Varg #1) in Books
Jul 21, 2019
This is the first novel in the Detective Varg series by McCall Smith. It's lighthearted (as much as a mystery novel can be), and the polar-opposite of nordic noir. The novel is written as a series of short stories, and it was a very quick read. Half of me thinks that this was written purely as a satire of nordic noir, without grisly deaths and violence against women.
I received this book from the Penguin First to Read program (RIP).

Great for those who haven't read the book recently
I was super excited about this TV series having recently read the book. It started off very strong but I've found as the series progressed it left the story line of the book behind in various parts. I have also struggled with the lack of tangible chemistry between the main characters.
I think those viewers that haven't read the book will enjoy it much more because it isn't having to measure up against anything.

Outstanding Programing
Sir David Attenborough once again narrates a series full of astonishing creatures, and some if the most stunning shots I have ever seen. Like the original series, it is broken down into sections, each showing a habitat such as jungles, the deep sea ect. And how the animals within deal with the challenges of that habitat. It is another beautiful showcase of the founders of the natural world and is a MUST see for all nature documentary fans.
