Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2585 KP) rated Naked Heat (Nikki Heat, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Gossip columnist Cassidy Towne has been murdered, and Nikki Heat must solve this high profile case quickly. To make this worse, writer Jameson Rook was profiling Cassidy, so Nikki must reunite with Rook to try to find the killer. Lots of great action and plenty of fun for fans of the TV show Castle. The writing was definitely better this time around, too, although it still could have smoothed out in a few spots.

Jun 25, 2018 (Updated Jun 25, 2018)
A. Gardner's first published book was also my first cozy mystery to read. The writing kept me hooked from start to finish, and I never would have guessed who the killer was from the start! The 'clues' presented kept the plot intriguing and the subtle touch of romance added a little touch that made it even more enjoyable to read. No violence or gore, with just a touch of suspense to keep you reading on. All in all, a great read for an introduction to a new genre.

I had heard about this book time and time again over the past couple of years on reddit so when I finally got my hands onto a copy I had to dive in. I love all things horror, and this was the perfect amount of genuine creepiness and true psychological suspense. I've seen a few rough reviews based on the author's writing but I disagree. It was easy to read for me and had just the right amount of emotion in it for me. I would love to see more from this author!

Oh yeah! Serial killers and the paranormal OH MY!!
No spoilers. Book is one of his best. A 2 day read. Had to put it down only because I was completely unaware of my family's needs. Someone has to cook. Anyways... What I loved the most is finding small pieces of myself in each character. Whether good, bad, or ugly. We all can relate. The story itself is a page turner. Descriptive, twisty, haunting, and thought provoking. We are all The Outsider in our own way. READ IT.
Leah (: (569 KP) rated Love Me (Keatyn Chronicles book 4) in Books
Jul 26, 2018
Each book starts exactly where the last one finished, which is great as there is no need for a re cap and fits perfectly with the diary style of writing.
Keatyn is really staring to grow as a person and you can begin to see her as an adult not just a spoilt child like she appeared at first.
You will continue to be annoyed by the boys in Keatyn’s like as at times they all seem like idiots and that she shouldn’t chose them. Although I am 100% for Aiden.

Beautiful love story! (1 more)
Belle is beauty and brains!
Be my guest, put my writing to the test! As usual the originals are so much better, this story is the perfect representation of beauty is found within. This movie put me in all my feels, from crying to joy and even admiration! There will never be a day where I would pass on watching this movie this has been one of my most favorites since I was little! Still it ever fails to entertain!

I think I would've liked this book more if the format of it would've adhered to a more conventional style of writing. In saying that, I mean quotation marks for dialogue would've been great. In the author's defense, there were some peppered throughout the story -- some.
The story was fine. I have no complaints. The bouts of activism depicted therein were apropos for our time. The book is worth reading in the sense it's a classic and shouldn't be overlooked as it does have imaginative and creative merit.

<b>Re-read 2018:</b>
I completely stand by my 4* rating and first review. This was an extremely enjoyable read.
But, one note I will add is this: My re-read was because I could remember very, very little of the story. And I reckon, given another year, I will have likely forgotten it all over again.
<b>First review 2015:</b>
I feel all warm and fuzzy. And smiley.
This was adorable.
Less-is-more writing style; relatable characters; intriguing thread of mystery: A wonderful story -well paced and very satisfying.

Jo (37 KP) rated The Upside of Unrequited in Books

This is one of those books where, although I really enjoyed reading it, I then went and checked a couple of negative reviews and thought 'yeah, I agree with many of your points'.
So, my actual rating is, like, 3.5.
Because, okay, I liked the writing style, I loved Reid, the diversity was fab, and it was full of smooshy fuzz-filled moments, but...
I feel Will's vagueness deserves the deduction of half a point.
Molly's repetitive whines lose this another half.
And, then, the ending did fall rather flat.

Epic ExtraOrdinary Story
I was so in love with the writing, world building, character development. I thought the plot was super creative and very refreshing to read. I love superheroes and the people who write about them or things related to them seem to have to most amazing skills to bring that world to light and this book was no exception I would highly recommend it for anyone who loves those kind of stories. Also, revenge is a side plot and well I always kind of love revenge stories.
