Book Divas (227 KP) rated The Snake Den (Shadow and Ink #2) in Books
Jul 16, 2019
Wow! Just wow! This time around I know exactly what rating to give this dark but perplexing read. I am truly enjoying the fact that I am still completely clueless as to the true nature of Six. Is Six an angel? A demon? The figment of Corbin's fragmented mind? The author once again reeled me in right from the start with her beautifully dark writing style. The characters are all stunning and unique and I simply cannot wait for the next book in the series as this cliff hanger ending was more intense than the last. It is indeed a pleasure to spend time in the mind of Nikki Rae.

Cute concept
This was a cute concept and has such potential to be a good story. I really do enjoy age play and the Daddy/little dynamic. What would have increased the rating for me, though, was if the book was expanded to add in more details and more of the Daddy/little interaction.
I would have also liked to see the interaction between the two littles of the story as well as more on how the lives of both Daddy and little progress. The other thing I would definitely suggest to the author is a good editor, or at least a decent beta reader and/or proofreader.

Rating: DNF
I really hate it when I pick up a book that sounds so great but disappoints after 2 chapters. This is why I write negative reviews: So that you won’t have to.
First of all, a large chunk of the mystery was disclosed right at the beginning, and it would have been so much better if I had gone into the story not knowing anything about Sarah.
Second, her husband was a transparent non-character… meaning number one I didn’t like him, and number two I didn’t feel his existence.
Thirdly, happyland syndrome. It was not in the plot as most often seen, it was in the dialogue. And after just a few pages, it felt yucky in my head. So I stopped reading.
Please check out other reviews before making a final decision about any book, Web of Secrets included.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Dust (Dust, #1) in Books

Dust by Joan Frances Turner
Genre: Adult fiction, Zombie
ISBN: 9780441019281
Pub date: September 7, 2010
Rating: DNF
Dust was a great idea, had great potential for a plot, and had great characters. But all I was reading were run-on sentences, fragments, and comma splices. Although I understand that writing novels allows for more creativity and independent writing style, I had trouble understanding it because it was so hard to read.
I hate not being able to give this book more than 35 pages (ARC) but in all honesty, a book that is hard to understand and frustrates me is not one I can enjoy anyway, no matter how good the story is.
Dust is published on September7th. Check out some other reviews before making a final opinion.

<i>I got an ARC of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.</i>
<b>4 Star Rating</b> ____
So many of my Goodreads friends were reading this book and very much enjoying it so I thought I would give it a go too.
I was very pleasantly surprised after I devoured this grim story, I liked it A LOT!
What starts out as a group therapy session turns into something ever so dark and sinister and it was wonderfully executed. I felt for every character within the story and I really didn't want it to end. This leads me on to the only negative that I found which was that it was so short...I was really getting into it when it ended, however, I am very hopeful that there will be a sequel.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Teddy in the Park in Books

Due to having to go for her jabs, my baby has been to the Dr's quite a few times and it's safe to say we only look forward to one thing when we get there and that's this book. It's in the reading corner every time we visit and when I show it to her her little face just lights up. It's such a bright, colourful, happy book that I go out of my way to find it when we are in the waiting room. The adventures of Teddy are fun to read for your little one and there are plenty of different characters to involve and point to.
Unfortunately I can't give a solid rating of the book's potential as my baby is way too young for this yet...she does like the pretty pictures though.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Being Jamie Baker (Jamie Baker, #1) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
4.5 stars.
Now this is a YA book that I got sucked in to, which is good after my last two failures.
This is my third book by the author and all of them have had either a 4.5/5 rating. I just love the authors writing and will now be making it a mission to read all of her work. She has now become a "favourite" author and I will be giving her her own shelf.
At the start of this I had no idea how it was going to play out but within those first few chapters I had started to fall for Ryan. He was so charming and nice and persistent in regards to Jamie and I loved it. What else can I say??
I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
