Book Divas (227 KP) rated Twisted Sisters (The Orion Circle #2) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I received an eARC when I signed up to host the book tour. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are unbiased and my own.
This is not a stand alone so Tortured Souls should be read first. This is a fast paced and exciting read full of paranormal elements and it contains just the right amount of romance to captivate you. The story line is well written and the characters are easy to relate to. The entire gang returns in this sequel plus a few new friends. Want to know what happens and what the consequences are for playing around with a ouija board? Then I highly recommend you read this YA book that's full of thrills and chills.

Dean (6927 KP) rated The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008) in Movies

Not got the X factor
I was a big fan of the TV series but missed some of the last two series. This is definitely set after the end of the last series, both agents are now doing other work and are no longer in the FBI, until they called upon to help with an X file type case. This could be viewed as a stand alone film on it's own if you never saw any of the TV series (Really?!) However it just plays more like an extended episode and not really the type of story line the fans want to see in a X files film. It's ok but wont satisfy fans that loved the show so much.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Suspect (Scott James & Maggie, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
In this stand alone novel, Scott James is trying to return to the LAPD after being shot in the line of duty, losing his partner in the process. He's joined the K-9 unit and teamed up with Maggie, a dog who has also undergone trauma. Will the two help each other heal? And will Scott track down the men who shot him? This reminds me why I need to read more Crais. I loved the book, feeling for the characters and getting caught up in the story. I'm not a dog person either, so that tells you just how great the characters are.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Nearest Exit in Books
Jan 25, 2020
I enjoyed this novel much more than its predecessor for many reasons, not the least of which is the different narrator chosen for the audiobook. I wholeheartedly believe this narrator made the plot seems more interesting, the characters more vivid and the pace of the novel better than the previous one. The recurring characters, along with the multitude of new ones, really fleshed out the story which takes off running after the events of The Tourist and, although background is always recommended, works nicely as a stand-alone. The fact that this narrator was different from the first made me give this one a try; that the next has the same narrator as this makes me want to continue the series.
AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Pucked Up (Pucked #2) in Books
Jan 12, 2020
The second in the Pucked series follows Miller (Buck) Butterson attempting and failing to win over his ice hockey team Captain’s (and future brother in law Alex) sister Sunny Waters. Buck and Sunny would be great together if only things and people would stop interfering!
Buck means well, but he certainly isn’t the smartest, and Sunny is young and sheltered, and everyone around her is over protective. But when the world finally gets a glimpse of the real Buck things start to change for the better!
This isn’t as funny as the first book, but still great writing! The character development is great too!
Follows on great from the first book but can also be read as a stand alone.

Whitechapel
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Hidden movement games are a particular type of game that really stand alone.
So many options for how to strategise as Jack, that this game has comes down to the smallest of clues until the end.
Very challenging as Jack, but highly enjoyable on both sides of the law.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Allegiant in Books
Sep 5, 2019
I'm kinda peed off that I've spent God knows how many hours reading this series for <b>that</b> to be how the trilogy ends. Yeah, I gathered from the average rating that something happened that the readers weren't happy with but I didn't see that coming!
As a romance reader I'm definitely hacked off that it didn't end with sunshine and roses but at the same time I guess that with where the plot was going from the end of book 2 that there was no other way that it could end.
Being brutally honest, I'm just going to chuck out Insurgent and Allegiant and keep Divergent and think of it as a stand alone where Tris and Tobias live HEA.
