Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Summer of the Moon Flower in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I didn't know when I downloaded this that it was the second book in The de Vargas Family series, if I had I'd have gone out and gotten the first book, Indigo's story, and read it first as I'm sure it would have helped me understand this one a little more.
That being said, it wasn't that hard to understand the storyline but all the flower and chemical talk went over my head. I had no idea what was going on at those bits.
The romance was kinda sweet but at the same time I didn't really understand it. Why would you like the man who kidnapped you?
I also found the writing style a little too formal but considering it's set in the 19th Century I'm sure they would have spoken as formally as it was written but I wasn't a fan.

Spiderman No Way Home Review
(No spoilers)
THE BEST SPIDERMAN MOVIE TILL DATE !! ❤️💚♥️
A tribute to all Spiderman fans ! 👍
Probably the best Marvel film to date!! 🤯
Won't say much here, just these words -
Goosebumps, Crazy cheering, Genuine laughs, Teary eyes(Man Up🤣) Nostalgia & Awesome!! clapclapclap
Yes, an experience I won't forget any time soon ! ♥️
I was worried about this film just been a remark of the animation Spiderman into the spider verse, as it's technically the exact same story.
Yet I find myself still trying to come to terms with the fact that literally whatever I wanted this movie to have.... was there & in fact it was way more than my expectations !! 🤯
A blockbuster for sure ace CGI fight scene and truly a masterpiece.

Highly entertaining
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and ate it up in super quick time. I read Close to Home, book 1 in the series, immediately before this one and I think this enhanced my enjoyment of this story as it gave a bit more meat to the characters but having said that, I think it would work as a standalone.
A young woman is attacked but doesn't want the police involved and then it happens again; both cases bearing a striking resemblance to an old case Fawley was involved in where the perpetrator was imprisoned ... could this be a copy-cat or has an innocent man been in jail for many years?
Once again, we are treated by Ms Hunter with her excellent characters, dark and gritty story line, intrigue and suspense all wrapped up in this fast paced, page-turning thriller with twists and surprises along the way. All this and the use of social media excerpts, court and interview transcripts woven, throughout make this feel current and relevant.
This will not be my last of reading Ms Hunter's books and I highly recommend to those who enjoy police procedural/thrillers with complex story lines which are easy to follow and that are highly entertaining ... can't wait for book 5!
Thank you to Penguin Books (UK) and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

Apr 21, 2019
I first read The Gunslinger when I was in high school and at the height of my Stephen King obsession. Going in and didn't really know what to expect from the story since I didn't really look too much into the series when I first picked it up which I'm pretty glad I didn't because I have never been much of a western fan so I'm not sure if I really would have have this a fair shot.
The Gunslinger honestly can be on the slow side even for such a short book but King does an amazing job of really showing you the world ge is building while still leaving a lot open for the series to build around. After reading this for the first and second time in still not sure how I feel about Rowland aka The Gunslinger I do grow to really love the character in the next book but as an introduction my feelings are never really solid. The character that really peaks my interest is The Man In Black through out the book I just can't wait to find out more about him and why Rowland is chasing him.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated A Killer Kebab (Greek to Me Mystery, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
With the restaurant closed for the season and most of her family out of town, Georgie figures now is the perfect time to do some much needed renovations on the restrooms. But Georgie comes back to find a dead body in the rubble of one of the bathrooms. The victim is her divorce lawyer, and the police are quick to arrest a former employee of the restaurant. While Russ is not a nice man, Georgie doesn’t think he’s a killer. But what happened to the victim?
With many of the series regulars out of town, it falls to a minor character from the previous books to step up. That’s not a problem since I really enjoyed getting to know Brenda better. The plot twists in some surprising directions, although I do have a couple of niggles with it. The book ties in some of the on going series plot threads, so it is best to read them in order to fully appreciate this book.
NOTE: I received a copy of this book

Merissa (13600 KP) rated Lord of the Last Heartbeat (The Sacred Dark #1) in Books
Sep 10, 2019
LORD OF THE LAST HEARTBEAT is the first book in the Sacred Dark series, and we focus on Mio and Rhodry. Both of these have secrets and 'powers' that have an effect on their lives. Mio no longer wants to 'help' his mother, but can't see a way out. Rhodry is intrigued by the younger man, but fears trying anything due to the curse he is living under.
What a fantastical world Ms Peterson has invented, with a hint of American Civil War era, coupled with the English Victorian period, this was a great combination of worlds. And yes, I realise I may have the time periods wrong, but that is what it reminded me of!
I loved how the story for both Rhodry and Mio came out slowly, the reader learning bits and pieces of it until it all fell together. Their relationship was the same way, a slow burner with temptation and resistance.
This was an intriguing tale, with plenty of mystery and misdirection thrown in. An amazing cast of characters helps to move the story along.
A wonderful start to the series, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Absolutely recommended by me.
