Where do I begin! I love a character-driven book and this was character-driven fiction at it's finest! It's so rare to find a multiperspective novel where I actually care about all of the perspectives being told and truly care about all the characters which is made all the more heartbreaking when you obviously know from the start what's awaiting them all by the end. This is by no means a novel about the Willhelm Gustloff but a story of love, loss, and finding your inner strength set against the backdrop of the worst maritime tragedy in history (but one that not many people even know about due to it happening to the other side). This is one of those books that I just know I'll keep thinking about long after I've read the last page (I stayed up til 1am to finish it) and I honestly couldn't recommend this more.

There is more plot to this final instalment. (0 more)
Nothing serious but ACOMAF is better. (0 more)
ACOWAR is a fantastic conclusion to Rhys and Feyre’s adventures. This book is more plot driven than ACOMAF and the characters really start to get stuff done.


The plot never lulls and there is always something happening to keep you wanting more. We meet more characters that we had only previously heard about and none of them are dull. Every character has a purpose for being there and all add something to the story. Previous characters story arcs wrap up nicely with some characters get nice, well rounded redemption plots.

Overall this is a brilliant fantasy novel and i personally have read it multiple times since release. Like with most Sarah J Maas bookend this is not for younger readers.

The Equalizer 2 (2018) may take some odd turns but evens out into a solid vigilante thriller. #Review
I’m enough of a fan of the original TV show “The Equalizer” to wish Antoine Fuqua had found a way to incorporate Stewart Copeland’s superb synth-driven theme tune into this modern reinterpretation. But my favourite part of the TV series was always the helping out of ‘the little guy’ rather than the bigger, over-arching spycraft arcs. It’s in this area that “The Equalizer 2” unexpectedly delights even as it leads to a slightly meandering story on screen... FULL REVIEW: http://bit.ly/CraggusEqualizer2

Awwwww! <b>"...and lived happily ever after."</b>

I loved it...when they finally got their shit together and just admitted their feelings, though it took 620 pages!

I laughed, I cried, I ranted, I got driven up the wall several times...

It only took eleven books but they finally, finally, got together and in the end it was so sweet.

As for the other points of the story: What's going to happen with the baby? What about Xcor and his Band of Bastards? What happened to Marisol/Sola? What about Trez and Selena?

I need answers!

Kiss of Darkness ( Charmed book 2)
By Brandon Alexander and Constance M Burge
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Something changed Prue Halliwell on New Year's Eve, when a stranger gave her the most passionate kiss of her life. Now Prue feels driven to kiss every man she meets. At first this is fun, but when Prue starts to grow weaker with every kiss, the Charmed Ones know evil is afoot.


This was a fun nostalgic read. It was so good to read a new charmed story! I really do miss this show and I’m so glad I discovered the books.
