First thing I have to say is the cover really put me off. I expected it to be some sort of paranormal romance, when currently I'm into my Urban Fantasy Romance's, where the romance part doesn't take up most of the story and happens as a sort of product of them being thrown together to fight whatever evil they have to face together. Well, this was more of an Urban Fantasy Romance, thank God.

The world building was very interesting and the Prime's of this world; terrifying. It was like they were missing some integral part of their psyche where they fought killing people who annoyed them was acceptable. But Mad Rogan had some redeemable qualities in the end and I grew to really like him.

I cannot wait to see what happens next with these two.

"Yes, that's the one. I know both recordings, and the movie too, but I think the one I listened to mostly was the later one. In a lot of ways Kurt Weill and Lotte Lenya, and this piece in particular, represent what I'd ultimately like to do as an artist: bringing opera together with popular music; classical singing with everyday life. I've written a couple of operas, I've worked with Shakespeare's sonnets, I've made pop records, and I have this folk background, and I feel that Kurt Weill with The Threepenny Opera was the pinnacle where all of the elements that he was influenced by joined together to create this other animal. Lotte Lenya was the one who interpreted that. It's a really good touchstone to keep in mind in terms of what I do in the pop world and the theatre world."

It's the last one, sadly--I'll admit it's grown on me a lot over the past two books, the pace picking up and everything coming together--and in my opinion, the best one.

The final showdown between Gwen and friends and Loki and the reapers has been a long time brewing and let me tell you that battle was edge of your seat stuff. I mean, I know they wouldn't lose because that would have been a crappy ending, but how the author wrote it. The tension of not knowing how Gwen was going to come out on top pushed it from the usual 4 star up to a 4.5/5 stars.

Seeing how all the characters we've come to know over the previous five books come together to fight the Reapers, well, I really liked this ending.

More than Comics ( Chasing the Dream 2)
By Elizabeth Briggs
⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been in love with Tara long before I became a famous rock star. We talk every day. We know everything about each other. But we've never met in person.

Until now.

Four days at Comic-Con together might change everything between us. She can never know how I feel about her. I won't ruin our friendship. I can't.

But I can't resist her either. And after one hot, unforgettable night together she sees me as more than her best friend too.

Can our online relationship turn into a real life romance? Or will it destroy our friendship forever?

This was sweet, loving the Comic-Con fun mixed in too pretty easy going read. Not much more I can really say.
