Read an excerpt from The Hunter (Tales of Pern Coen: Bloodlines #1) by Hannah E. Carey - a Celtic-inspired romantic fantasy featuring a slow burn, fade to black romance.

Perfect Slow Burn Suspense Novel
I'm not usually into slow burns that dont have any big reveals, but I really enjoyed this one. The characters were mostly pretty unlikeable but very interesting. I thought it had a very oddly satisfying ending. To see more of my thoughts you can check out my youtube video-

Interesting if slightly odd Thriller
I remember seeing Trailers for this but missed it at the Cinema. A slow burn Thriller as a recluse Author of a controversial book, that was claimed to inspire a mass shooting, seems to be harassed by a fan.
A bit like The Game in parts, quite an intricate plot that does take a while to gather pace. It's ok but far from great.
  
This was a really good story. The characters were engaging.. the had angst and slow burn and at times it felt a bit long winded but overall i really ennoyed the charatcers and their relationship and love. the writing was very well done also.. im glad i got to review it

Sports romance with a slow burn
Zapata has mastered the story line that builds over significant time to create the most believable relationship. For some reason, I don't mind a slow burn when she writes it. Aiden 'the wall' wasn't immediately a likeable character but alongside Vanessa, I fell for him. Vanessa taught him what it meant to care, to be friends. This book has left me with a grin on my face and an full feeling in my heart.

This was an audio and Callie Dalton does a great job on male and female dialogue. I will definitely re-listen or read.

2017 Ebook re-read, this was as wonderful second time around.

High expectations, slow burn.
The first 2 episodes of this series were a lot slower than some had expected, but that is pretty normal to my mind.
The series really hit its stride in the third episode onwards: we saw some epic battle scenes and some good old political intrigue and back-stabbing.

The Boy Who Drew Monsters is a slow-burn of a novel. It never really picks up but it sort of meanders through interpersonal relationships, mental illness and Asperger's, a touch of horror, and plenty of atmosphere. While I wasn't wowed by the book, I liked it well enough and would read another Donohue book.
  
I'm really liking this series but the whole will they/won't they is beginning to drive me mad. I'm assuming it's going to be a slow burn as things are slowly changing but after that kiss in the first book...and some of the moments they shared in this...? *sigh*

Off to buy book 3

It's a bit of a slow burn, but the entire cast is excellent with their performances and kept me invested. Christian Bale and Harry Melling play well off each other. Melling as Poe impressed me. I enjoyed the murder mystery aspect of it and the reveal at the end was great. Overall, I enjoyed the film.
