This story starts with Clelia waking up in the woods. She is safe, as she has her wolf dogs protecting her, but she is worried that she may be the cause behind the multitude of fires that have started recently. There is a strong bond between her and Erwan, her grandfather. The story takes a twist when it is Erwan who is suspected of causing the fires. More than just the police are interested, and Erwan makes the decision that both he and Clelia are going to disappear. Clelia doesn't get very far before Josselin meets up with her, although she had already seen him, but he doesn't remember it.
This is a fast-paced action/adventure with a splash of paranormal. There is plenty of Alpha Male growling going on whenever anyone else looks at Clelia, but Josselin isn't prepared to admit his own feelings. The scenes between Clelia and Josselin are very intense, and steamy in places. The difference between Clelia and Josselin is very obvious - in the fact that Clelia has a quiet strength that grows throughout the book, but is very submissive towards Josselin himself. As for him, I personally found his possessiveness/jealousy a bit much, but Clelia seemed happy with it, so that's all good 😉
A steamy adventure with parts of paranormal, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a different take on action/pnr.

I am looking forward to the next one in the series. [One is Come] by [C.H. MacLean] is a wonderful mix of magic, adventure and lore. The characters suffer from the typical teenage angst that is common everywhere and similar growing pains. The difference is the issue of puberty brings with it a secret that normal kids don't deal with.
The only people around the kids that can understand are their parents who have taken an oath not to speak of the magic. The conflicting powers fighting for control over the kids and their gift leads to more intrigue. I am still not sure who is good and who is bad, or even if there is a good or bad. Any book that has magic and dragons is always a good bet.

Lauren Carr has done it once again. What book this was? I was again guessing what was happening. So many murders that going on and all starts once Mac and David show up in New York.
We meet new characters in the book. A famous author has disappeared. What has happened to her? Ali is worked at the news center. Who is Ali Huston?
David and Ali Huston seem to be on the run? Who wants her dead and why? You will need to read the book to find out.
I like the book because it makes me keep guessing who the bad guy is. It keeps my attention as well. I can not stop reading this book once you start. This is one great mystery and an adventure.

this is the first book by this author that I've read and it definitely wont be the last. this is a fun, sexy read that you wont want to put it down. this is the story about a dark hero with a stronger female character. this book is full of adventure, hot steamy scenes and revenge in the plot keep a hold of you till the end. this book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat till the end of the book. the characters are fab and you will fall in love with them as you read the book. the characters have lots of great chemistry in the story. i cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

This is my Condense Review:
I enjoyed seeing that a girl wanted to fly a plane. That her dad was teaching her. Her dad let her have her chance of landing a plane on her birthday. This book does have some action and Adventure. Those their a mystery unfolds once her father was drafted to sent off to fight in the war.
There information about WWII in this book and about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It does give some information on our history. It goes into issues about bullying, prejudiced, Learning to make friends, I see what kids and others did to other kids back then.

Lack of diverse weapons
Compelling story beautiful, open-world
Much like Far Cry 4 (which I loved) this is an open-world, vaguely linear action adventure game. Lots of terrain to explore, lots of odd encounters with strange NPCs.
The difference, and the real hook for me, is the storyline. Trying to avoid spoilers, go watch the trailer and get sucked in. Based in the US you are a US Marshal fighting a religious cult. Trying to reclaim Hope County from this bizarre and extreme set of believers.
The multiplayer is good and well thought out and different but I will admit that I have spent very little time in the Multiplayer world of Far Cry 5.

Disclaimer: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I was so happy to have this one already when I finished "Zombie Cave" because I definitely dove right in (pun slightly intended). After his previous adventure, you'd think Mick might want to take it easy for a while, but nope! Now he's picked up a "friend" who has an issue of his own (thanks in large part to Mick and Finley), and the three of them have to figure out how to handle this creature which apparently likes tuna and SPAM...
Once again, I couldn't put this one down until I'd successfully gotten from cover to cover in one sitting. If you liked "Zombie Cave" you MUST read this one. And if you never read "Zombie Cave", just what's stopping you?!?
5 stars

Nintendo has struck again!
Picked up this game last night and can't stop playing.
I love these games so much since Nintendo does a great job of playing homage to itself with these. Not too far along yet, but it is so much fun for sure. I even got my teenage daughter to play with me so that is saying something. I like the unlocks so far as it keeps you engaged.
The variety of stages and characters is amazing. I'm glad you have to work for unlocking stuff as that makes you want to keep playing.
Haven't done adventure mode yet, but looks like so much fun!
I'm actually going to buy an additional controller today.
For anyone who loves Nintendo, this one is a must!

A gripping classic
Classics can be a bit boring, but not this classic! Uncle Tom's Cabin is filled with complex plots and characters that you can't help but root for.
You follow the story of uncle Tom, a slave living in Kentucky. His story is one of hardship, pain, and loneliness with beautiful examples of love and faith woven through.
Eliza is also an important character. She's a woman fighting to keep her family together and free. Her adventurous escape is daring and dangerous. Thrilling to say the least!
This book is impossible to put down! It fosters deep thoughts and perspectives about slavery and racism. Not an easy read but definitely worth it!
