Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Monster Inside (Shadow Pact #1) by River Starr in Books
Apr 29, 2022
This story has been well written. I did find myself getting frustrated with the secrets being kept by Mrak against Aisling she's help him as much as he's helped her, so why keep secrets!
The description of the battles are very colourful and very heated as are the intimate scenes. I found myself getting quite angry at Mrak in some points with the secrets that were being kept but after his explanations, I could understand it, Didn't like it but understood it. It almost seemed at times that it was an abusive relationship and that there were control issues and lots of manipulation and again found myself frustrated of Aisling being made to do things she had specifically asked not to be done.
I'm intrigued on what is going to happen next with the way the story fades out but cannot wait to find where the journey takes the couple. Its a series i will be following to the end.
A Fantastic read with lots of action

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2173 KP) rated City of Lies (Counterfeit Lady, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
If you pick up this book expecting a murder and five suspects, you’ll be disappointed. However, with those adjusted expectations pick up this book because it is wonderful. The story is captivating and moves quickly; I always had a hard time putting the book down. This may be the first in a series, but the characters are already strong. I’m not normally one to root for a criminal, but I couldn’t help but root for Elizabeth in this book. Real history is woven in without slowing down the fictional story at all. I’m not sure where the series will go from this wonderful beginning, but I can’t wait to find out.
NOTE: I received a copy of this book.

Sarah (7798 KP) rated Taskmaster in TV
Oct 9, 2018
This show is absolutely hilarious and has such a simple premise - comedians undertaking deceivingly simple or bizarre tasks to be scored by the Taskmaster himself Greg Davies. The tasks themselves vary, and so do the results which makes for very entertaining television. Watching fairly to very intelligent people come up with the silliest, stupid or downright convoluted solutions to basic tasks is so much fun. I also love Greg Davies’ very harsh wit and criticism, and how badly some of the contestants take it. Some series are funnier than others, and series 1 has so far been my favourite, but all are very entertaining to watch. Watching this show makes me think this could be what it’s like to work behind the scenes in escape rooms or the Crystal Maze experience, people trying to solve puzzles in the strangest of ways. Fair play to Alex Horne for managing to keep a straight face most of the time!
If you’re looking for something silly and lighthearted to watch, then I’d definitely suggest giving this a go.
