A poor spinoff of the conjuring franchise
Contains spoilers, click to show
If this was a stand alone film not connected to the conjuring franchise, than it might of been good. The only thing connected this film and the conjuring franchise is the priest. He says one line that connects this film and the conjuring film. Im not sure why their had to put this movie in the conjuring universre, but it counts as a spinoff.

Movie Favorite

"Then, my next favorite film is Gary Cooper’s High Noon. Here we’re talking about the one man against many, having to stand alone. And what sticks with me about that movie is that the woman that he loved, who was completely anti-violence, stood up with him, ultimately; and at the end, when all the townspeople had run away, he took that badge off and threw it in the dirt."

Weezie and BeBe are great characters, fun and quirky. (0 more)
Might not work as a stand-alone. (0 more)
Christmas Bliss was the last of my Christmas reads for the year. I have read two others in the series and really like Weezie and BeBe. This time around, Weezie’s getting ready to marry her chef boyfriend, Daniel, but he’s off in New York on a temporary gig at a very swanky restaurant. BeBe’s pregnant and refuses to marry her live-in boyfriend Harry, but she also might still be married to one of her exes. It’s complicated.

It’s a sweet story. There’s not much conflict and the couple of “issues” that crop up are quickly resolved. Weezie and BeBe are great characters, fun, quirky, but I don’t know that this would work as well as a stand-alone. It was nice to already know them and appreciate that they were getting their “happily ever afters.”
  
this is a well written story which was beautifully written, I just couldn't put it down till id got to the last page and I didn't want it to end. This book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. The characters have very intense chemistry between them. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

what a fab read, I really loved the characters and the story. this I a story of love, betrayal and family which will keep you reading long into the night. this book has plenty of suspense to keep a hold on you. this is the second book I've read in the nine circles series but it can be read as a stand alone.

I really enjoyed reading books by this author, this book is different from her other books but still as fantastic. this is a stand alone book about two damaged people trying to find a way to become whole. the relationship between the characters really brings the story alive. the author has a fantastic way of writing so the characters and story are raw and intense

Fun and witty read that will expand your vocabulary and knowledge of Irish folklore/mythology. A great summer book, easy enough to read in an afternoon or put down and pickup and finish later.
Although, it references the TV show and previous books, it is a stand alone book. You don't necessarily have to watch or read to them understand or enjoy the book, it is recommended because of the enjoyable shinannegans and hijinks.
  
I loved the heroine in this book!!

     The Merchants Yield is the second book I have read by Lorri Dudley and it is the second book in her Leeward Islands series; all the books can be read as stand-alone but are interconnected by the characters. I really enjoy how Lorri Dudley describes island life, she uses some interesting animals and when she describes the sea its like I can taste it
  
<b><i>I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.</i></b>
The second book in The Vault of Dreamers starts from the cliffhanger of sorts O’Brien left off with, though I personally think The Vault of Dreamers should've been left alone as a stand-alone. This sequel might be a little disorienting at first, as Rosa is in another body and it takes awhile to figure out what was going on.

This is the third book in this series by this author. Another fantastic story from this talented author. This is a very good romantic read which has some added funny moments. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. The characters are amazing, very well written. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
