We absolutely loved The Umbrella Academy! The characters drew us in, and the depth of humanity in the storytelling kept us around for the whole thing. We were especially drawn to the coping mechanisms of each character. We were also drawn to the family dynamics.
  
this was a lovely read, I really enjoyed the story and loved the characters. the author has a way of writing so that you end up falling in love with the characters. the author writes the right amount of chemistry between the characters and adds in humour for a good balance. defiantly a fab read

I personally loved this book...yes there were things I wished were different but I enjoyed the way it played out..the ending does irritate me only because it feels like a beginning instead of end but honestly even the ending I enjoyed. I live who she ends up with even though I wasn't expecting it...the writing was good as always and overall I loved it.

Wow.. this was fun. The hero and heroine were amazing.. but I fell head over heels for the villan. Haha.. Hector was amazing. This kinda hit on soulmates.. and I enjoyed the writing. The storyline was amazing and it made me smile and laugh. I felt sad with them when they felt sad.. I was happy when they were happy. It was all amazing and wonderfully sweet.

Oh man.. I don't even know what to say. This story was very very good. The writing was good and I enjoyed the characters. I loved reading about real problems and people and real situations. The ending though.. oh man, I was mad. But, it was still good even with it being the way it ended. I am very glad I got to read this one.
  
A missing teen, a skull with a bullet hole, and a mysterious grad student make up this mystery. The plot slowed a bit in the second quarter, but picked up again for the second half. As always, the characters and writing are top notch.

The annual peach festival is coming and Phyllis is hoping she can finally beat her friend and roommate in the backing festival. However, she gets distracted when some murders start happening. I didn't like the characters, the plot was bad, and the writing was distracting.

Nikki Sands takes a new job at a Napa Valley winery and finds a dead body on her first day. The plot was entertaining until the weak ending, but none of the characters came alive for me. And the writing style was weak as well.
