Amanda Mahaffey (3 KP) rated The Builder's Reluctant Bride in Books
Mar 15, 2018
At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like the book but as I kept reading I really enjoyed the story. I liked the story of Jenna and William from their past where there were misunderstanding between them. Jenna has a wall around her heart from the past with her husband that passed away and William in high school. William may have made a mistake in high school but wants to make everything right with Jenna because they have to work together on a project. I enjoyed reading the story of forgiveness and that the Lord will never turn His back on you.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Between Good And Evil in Books

I love a mystery that wastes no time with setup and has me in suspense from page 1, and Between Good and Evil did just that. It took a bit to catch on to what was happening in Auburn Notch, but thats not a bad thing. The reader is left to piece things together as the story unfolds just as the characters are, and there is a lot going on. The characters are well formed and the descriptions very detailed. This was a good first installment, and Ill be watching for more Promise Flynn.
NOTE: I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Sassy and Bridgy have settle into their new life running a café/bookstore in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. But when one of their loyal customers is murdered, they are surprised. Delia was a nice, quiet woman. Who would want to kill her?
The characters and the setting in this book are wonderfully vivid, and I enjoyed spending time with them. Unfortunately, the pacing was off and at times I got frustrated waiting to get back to the mystery. However, it did all come together for a logical ending.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Deadpool Volume 1: Secret Invasion in Books
Jul 11, 2018
Great fun
This short collection brings together 2 distinct stories with a link - Deadpool's involvement in the Skrull's secret invasion of Earth, and him destitute being hired to rescue a billionaire's zombie wife from a mad doctor. Both books have the tell-tale 4th wall breaks and a completely mad storyline. The skrull's enlist Deadpool's help in creating a generation of super-skrulls with his healing factor, but this doesn't go to plan. The silly storyline is a welcome break from the painfully serious Marvel Universe.
Very short, and possibly not worth the £5.99 on Kindle - but it is free with Prime Reading or Kindle Unlimited.

Introducing Kate Winslet!
Before Peter Jackson was instructing us on the ways of Bilbo and Gollum, he introduced us to Pauline and Juliet, two young girls who form an intense, provocative and somewhat delusional relationship.
They become fast friends and construct a fantasy world where both of them can live whilst they make some gruesome decisions about their own parents. Throughout the film you are unsure what you are viewing is real of part of the dream.
I loved this film for its portrayals of the young girls and the lengths they will go to remain together even after their volatile relationship is discovered.

Sep 28, 2018
Another incredible book by one of my favorite authors. Kristy has a way of writing that truly makes you feel as though you KNOW these characters and love them, scars and all. I am HUGE Driven Trilogy fan and this book was a perfect addition.. LOVE Hawke and Quinn and my absolute favorite parts were the moments we got to revisit with Colton, Riley and most of all, special guest appearances from the D-Bags! My all-time favorite rockers hanging out together (love it!). Love the witty banter between Quinn and the guys and Quinn's strength is apparent throughout. Another absolute must-read.... beautifully written story!

Alexia oh how I love thee
Alexia is a true heroine and independant woman! I love her sense of adventure and fashion. She is spunky, sassy and intelligent showing that u dont have to be in the cookie cutter mold to be attractive to a guy like Lord Maccon. They are such a good pair together and compliment each other great. The character development Ms. Carriger gives to each and every character even down to the kind of shoes they had on, or sometimes lack there of is extraordinary. This new story line of the super-natural is superb.
This is a heart wrenching roller-coaster of a romance. Tess and Gus are meant to be together, they just keep missing one another. The pair have a fleeting moment in Florence in 1997 when they are both eighteen, Tess is inter-railing across Italy and Gus is on holiday with his parents, before University. Eberlen then takes us through moments in the next sixteen years when both characters face difficulties in their lives, teasing us with near misses and crossed paths for the duration of the book. Anyone who has read David Nicholls’ ‘One Day’ will thoroughly enjoy this little bit of escapism, serendipity and romance.
