Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Stolen Twins in Books
Feb 5, 2023
Oh my word ... what a story!! I don't think there are any superlatives that captures adequately how I felt about this book and how good it was ... I was breathless and on pins from the very first to the very last word.
The story is told from the viewpoints of Jewish twins Arina and Nora and from multi timelines from their life with their parents in Hungary, through the horrors of being twins at the hands of the monster that was Mengele in Auschwitz and their road to rebuilding their lives in France and the USA.
It is a powerful story of survival, loss, resilience, hope and the power of love; I was absolutely rivetted and devoured it in quick time and have no problem recommending this to those of you who love getting totally immersed in a wonderful book that will have your emotions in tatters and my thanks must go to Bookouture and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Stolen Twins.

Karla Dee (6 KP) rated Do you follow in Books
Jan 11, 2022
I truly enjoyed reading "Do You Follow" because I have a set of twins in my family. I am intrigued by the concept of Alexa and Beth who have both has psychiatric problems. I am a believer in twins having telepathic connections so this was a new twist. All readers will enjoy reading about the twins and their fascinating relationship.
There is a mental illness aspect of the story which can be taboo to talk about but I think it should become less taboo and more so spoke about so I liked that they addressed this aspect in the reading.
The characters were detailed and I glad to have found a connection with them. I enjoyed learning more about them, and their back-stories, as the novel progressed. Every time it's like getting to know a new mary kate and ashley, but there are always new surprises in a twin tale. Even though I guessed some of the plots and twists, there were still plenty of surprises.
Definitely recommend 9/10

Jan 18, 2018
A little erotic story involving twins losing their virginity. The overall story was steamy but some parts seemed silly and took away from the overall experience. I don't have a twin, so I am not sure I would understand. It read like a short story one would read on literotica, though.

Haunted Secerts
The Lodgers- is anethor haunted house horror film. Thats really all this movie it. It does though have good scary, a good plot, good horor. But its downfall lies within that its slow and takes it time.
The plot: A family curse confines orphaned twins Rachel and Edwards to their home, in punishment for their ancestors' sins. Bound to the rules of a haunting childhood lullaby, the twins must never let any outsiders inside the house, must be in their rooms by the chime of midnight, and must never be separated from one another. Breaking any of these rules will incur the wrath of a sinister presence that inhabits the house after midnight.
Its okay.

I am in two minds about this one and wasn't sure whether to give it 3 stars or only 2 but I went for 3 as I felt 2 was a bit harsh. For my review, please visit my blog http://haziegaze.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/the-ice-twins-by-s-k-tremayne.html, thank you.

Mars (8 KP) rated A Darker Shade of Magic in Books
Oct 4, 2018
This book was great. The magic was very realistic which I enjoyed. The plot was intriguing, but the characters were really what kept me going. The relationship between Kell and Lila was very interesting to watch develop. I loved to hate the Dane twins, as well as I loved nearly everything about this book.
