Sooo..... YYEAAAAHHH this was crap.
Not in the worst way imaginable but this was a high struggle for me to get through.
But i couldn't put it down.
I was going to DNF this at first due to the writing and the dialect and the god awful main characters but after 100 pages in I put myself back in my freshman years and holy crap did this book do Freshman 1st love justice.
I remember thinking a lot of the same things and being that over-exaggerated at that age
But it was still a struggle not to continue to roll my eyes through most of this.
I was okay with the ending .
It gave it a fresh take on real relationships and i could appreciate the author ending it the way he did.
I definitely want to try another book from this author that's not in YA.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Parnassus on Wheels in Books
Jul 12, 2018
Have you ever picked up a book, thought it was going to be mediocre and realized that it brought out the passion in you? I have read a few books that have truly spoken to me, Parnassus on Wheels is one of those books.
I fell in love with the characters. Helen wanted an adventure and she definitely got it. I wish that this was my life. I would love to take an adventure with a man that is passionate about books. There is nothing better than sharing a passion with someone. I know that I'm one of those people who wants to share my latest read with the next person.
This book makes you want to find your next passion. I know my new dream is to own a bookmobile and travel the world selling books.
Ultimately, this book earns 5 golden stars. I will definitely be rereading this.

Merissa (11961 KP) rated Insight (Insight #1; Web of Hearts and Souls #1) in Books

This is supposed to be a book for Young Adults but I think it is suitable for anyone wishing to read a mystery / love story with a hint of paranormal in the form of "insights" or talents or gifts, whatever you want to call them.
This book starts on earth and will take you to different dimensions via 'strings', invisible (to most) passages of energy.
I won't go into the plot as it is better to just read the synopsis and go from there but it has an overall quite simple story that is overlaid with complications and events that all in all make this a fantastic read.
And, yes, I am a hopeless romantic, so the idea of having your other half out there who will complete you is almost certainly going to go down well with me and this book does it well!!

Amazing game
Ok, I have never played this game myself but I have watched it being played. I know that's not quite the same thing but I'll take what I can get. Anyway, not flat out scary but definitely creepy enough to keep even big gamers interested. It has a strong plot with unexpected twists all over the place. Once the game is over there are still so many theories as to what happened because the developers did such an awesome job of layering on just enough facts to get people thinking.
The artwork reminds me of Betty Boop meets Steam Boat Willie (not sure is I should know those references but hey I grew up with oldies lol). Even the music and the way the characters move look like an older cartoon. Can't say anything about the controls but I still find myself in love with this game.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Fearless (Elemental, #1.5) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
This is placed at 1.5 but I think it's more of a 0.5 or a 0.1 position in this series since its events take place before [b:Storm|28580871|Storm (Elemental, #1)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1452964954s/28580871.jpg|15305022] and probably after [b:Elemental|13418864|Elemental (Elemental, #0.5)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387754610s/13418864.jpg|18769953]. It's a little complicated I guess.
I didn't enjoy this half as much as [b:Storm|28580871|Storm (Elemental, #1)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1452964954s/28580871.jpg|15305022], which I read before this. Both have been on my Kindle for six years so it was about time I read them but this one didn't grab me. I found it rather boring and kinda wanted to punch Hunter's dad in the face a few times.
I'd still love to read the rest of the brothers stories though
