Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Scorpio Races in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Of course, as you can probably guess Sean & Puck fall for each other & develop a strange kind of bond while preparing for the race. The predictability on that part of the story caused me to bring this rating down to stars.
The rest of the the story is 5 star all the way however. I was particularly facinated by the many layers of the story & the sub-plots mixed in throughout. There are many intriguing characters sprinkled in...my favorite being Mr. Holly, the American come to the island to but a horse. The plot is slow at first, but in the last 1/2 of the book the pace picks up. I found myself unable to put it down for about the last 100 pages.
Kristin (149 KP) rated Killer Rumors (Frank Rinelli, #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2018
Two priests are very publicly and horrifically murdered, their bodies left in front of their church bearing strange markings and objects. It's up to Frank Rinelli and his partner to solve the case before more bodies turn up, but that's easier said than done.
Honestly, I really liked the premise of this story. The action was there, and tension was included throughout as the reader learns more about the who/what/when/where/why of the murders before the police do. However, there were so many errors in grammar and proofreading that I just couldn't ignore them after the first few pages. A few examples: five sentences in a row with the word "scene"; five out of six in a row with the word "bodies"; direct quote -- "It connected unto Branchard's chest activity." There was so much redundancy and other issues in the writing that I found myself having to take a break from reading because it was making my head hurt. All-in-all, it's a pretty good book; it just definitely needs a thorough proofreading and editing before I'd give it a higher rating.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Dark Divine (The Dark Divine, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Nothing about this pulled me in, not the characters, not the plot...I was bored for all of it but considering the last few YA books I've read have been DNF's I decided to stick with it. I read books for the romance mainly and I had no idea where that bit came into it but by the end they loved each other.
There was a bit of a high point at the end where everything started to make sense which pushed my rating up an entire star, simply because the pace picked up finally ands something actually happened beside school and dates and dances.
Shapeshifters are not my favourite paranormal creatures to read about and although I have the next book in the series I dont think I'll be reading it.
Not for me at all.

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated The Fourth Monkey (4MK Thriller, #1) in Books
May 3, 2020
For over five years, the Four Monkey Killer has terrorized the residents of Chicago. When his body is found, the police quickly realize he was on his way to deliver one final message, one which proves he has taken another victim who may still be alive.
One day . . .
As the lead investigator on the 4MK task force, Detective Sam Porter knows that even in death, the killer is far from finished. When he discovers a personal diary in the jacket pocket of the body, Porter finds himself caught up in the mind of a psychopath, unraveling a twisted history in hopes of finding one last girl, all while struggling with personal demons of his own.
Zero.
With only a handful of clues, the elusive killer’s identity remains a mystery. Time is running out as the Four Monkey Killer taunts from beyond the grave in this masterfully written fast-paced thriller.
I actually found this quite chilling! It was very well written especially the diary chapters! I honestly didn’t see that twist coming! I kept swapping my rating from a 4 to a 3 and vide versa as I’m not sure where I wanted it to go! I really enjoy J D Barker and look forward to the next book!
