It's early nineteenth century and you have an unusual case that Scotland Yard is just not getting anywhere with. So who are you going to call!? Sherlock Holmes. What? No. Boswell and Flynn! I love when oddball characters who in theory should never work blend so well together and have crazy adventures. A suicidal alien, a hooker, and a cowboy there is a bad joke somewhere in that but, I'll leave it be.

I love how different this book is. It left me turning pages and wanting more because I hadn't seen anything quite like this yet. The main character is such a bad a** and I never once found her dull. While there is romance, this isn't a sappy love story. (0 more)
This is purely commercial fiction, not literary. That's perfectly fine, but that simply means it's not art. Just something to read for fun. (0 more)
A unique read!

An ok horror comedy, with a made for TV feel to it. It's pretty much a copy of the cult classic Fright Night, but this time with a Werewolf in place of a Vampire. This time round it's a girl (Nina Dobrev from Vampire diaries) who has to fight the new neighbour. Not a bad werewolf costume but this is far from scary and not that funny. It's not a patch on Fright Night.

This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is an enemies to lovers story. This book is full of lots of steam and drama. The fake fiance story line was quite entertaining in parts. I enjoyed the characters, the confident women mixed with the bad boy. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

this is the second book ive read from this author and it was just as good. this is a well written book with a fab story line. this book is a fast paced romance story. the characters are fab and work really well through out the story. the only bad point is that it is so short, would have loved it to be longer.
highly recommended

So I love watching superhero movies. Funny thing about them though, they all claim the same "rule number 1" which is "protect your identity". What's the first thing that ALWAYS happens? The hero screws up and the bad guy knows who they are, where they live, their family, who their best friend is etc etc etc... I mean, I'd love to see one where that doesn't happen. Am I alone in this? Just curious.

It's definitely still a major part of most Spiderman films, and is way overused in Batman films.

It's just efficient (not necessarily imaginative) storytelling. The Spider-Man films in particular have gone big-time for this 'personal connection between Peter Parker and the villain' idea, more than is really credible, and this is probably a factor too.

What strikes me is the number of these films which centre on 'clean energy production' as a plot device.

So the first volume was good enough for me to get Vol 2, I thought, let's see how this goes. It just gets better from there. I'm fully invested in the Locke family and the fascinating world that Joe Hill has built around them. The interactions of the keys and the way the kids can solve problems with them (to good or bad ends) is great. Such an inventive story that is hard to match.

Truly an amazing piece of work. The writing and acting were absolutely tremendous meaning the viewer really could feel as well as see what it must have been like to live through this horrific incident and the continuing consequences. I knew very little about the accident and it really does allow you to feel that you have been given the opportunity to witness history for good as well as bad. A must watch.

Definitely a waste of a season. I'd say its 70/30 good but the bad bits stick out to me as a long term fan. Sincerely don't want to discourage anyone watching it as it is good BUT just be aware of annoying plot lines.

This totally entertained me. It was fast paced and action packed. It was amazing and kept you on your toes. Abigail has really bad luck and believes she is hexed but wants to enjoy life so much more. She has to fight and find her way into being able to do that. This story IS a cliffhanger but totally worth that if you enjoy a good fast paced story with an amazing strong woman.
