Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Fifty Shades Freed in Books

Book Rating

This was another good book. I thought that the author makes the characters likeable. With that said, the writing was not amazing. It didn't flow very well. I thought that the author would choose a couple words and stick with them and never change them. If I read another "Oh my" I may scream.

I did find this an entertaining series and I'm glad that I read them. With that said, these are guilty pleasure books, those books that you may not want to openly discuss with some people. I'm not ashamed of what I read but I was glad that I read these books on my nook.

All in all, the story was good but it read like a fantasy of a young adult/teen and not as realistic as I would have hoped. The books were entertaining but they left me wanting "more"...

This is one of those romance novels that reviews encouraged me to keep on reading. Like everyone else (most probably), I hated Luke at first because I really couldn't stand "the disabled kid being the world's biggest brat" trope, but that quickly changed after I got through the first few chapters.

Sometimes as I read novels, I question why characters get together (like the majority of romance novels), but for this one, I was so happy that they did. For a party guy, Zach is the nicest person I've ever read about in my life. And I feel so bad for Mandy because though I didn't grow up in an abusive household, but I've been in her shoes for taking care of my little sister, too.

I really don't wanna spoil the book, but it really turned in places I didn't expect, and I really hope that people will read this.

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.

I received this as part of a smashbomb competition!

The game has 5 different mini games which are all very fun. Each card has several different characters or objects on it and these have to be matched with various paired cards.

The game is very easy to pick up with simple instructions for all the mini games. It would suit all types of people/family members even those without prior Harry Potter knowledge. The different icons are depicted within the instructions with names.

We spent quite some time playing this game eventhough each game is fairly short. Its addictive and much harder than the description sounds.

Sometimes you have the flow of things and blast through several pairs. Other times you are stumped and cant pick out any difference between the cards.
