Fabian
Never fails to suprise
have been a long time fan of Jennifer work and this book is not exception.
Tink is once again the exuberant delight that provides both the comic relief need when things get hard and the loving emotional stable one when needed .
Ivy and Ren are a great couple with everything they faced last book this book sees there relationship tested more than ever and after so much heartache and turbulence already faced only a writer as good as Jennifer can capture how to develop their relationship so completely.
Fabian is a great character for a new character to come in and have such an impact in the final book of a series is rare of course to have a firepower of a once thought extint summer prince what do you expect from the brilliance of Jennifer.
As this is the final book of the series expect the big battle and lot of twist and turns once again.

A great follow up to South!
It seems unusual to find an apocalyptic story without zombies and/ or magic these days, but I think this does it well. Instead we have the power-hungry madness of a politician-cum-scientist to contend with.
This is actually the second book in the Divided States series. You don’t need to have read the first novel, South, but it WILL make it easier to understand what’s going on in this book! The privations of the South can’t really be fully comprehended if you’ve only read this book.
I really liked this book: the descriptions of the landscapes (the North doesn’t seem to have escaped from the viruses and the aftermath of the civil war), the people and the madness of those in power, virus inflicted or not, was really well portrayed.
The ending was somewhat satisfying, and reassuringly open ended. I’m looking forward to the possibility of another book in the series!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book to read and honestly review.

Jessica - Where the Book Ends (15 KP) rated Very Wicked Beginnings (Briarcrest Academy, #1.5) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
This book was a complete surprise to me! I had no idea this book was coming (which was the point obviously). In this book we got the back story that we needed to fully understand the actions, behaviors, and choices that were made in Very Wicked Things. This book shows us how Dovey and Cuba meet.
When Cuba first saw Dovey dance it was love at first sight, which we all knew, but of course he didn't get the idea through his thick skull until a little later, which is okay.
This book was a great addition to this series, and I hope we see more like it in the future. I really enjoy novellas because they give you that extra look into the lives of the characters and maybe explain some of the more obvious whys behind everything.
You don't have to read this in order to read Very Wicked Things, but if you're like me and want to get your hands on every possible book in the series, I would recommend it.

i can't fault this series!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
Book 7 in the series, and you REALLY should read the others first, they work so much better for you, if you do!
We met Master Hunter and Tobey in the previous book, but it wasn't clear they had any scenes, of anything. In this book, Tobey has run home because of something Master Hunter said. And when Tobey decides that home is NOT Idaho, but in the company of those who live and breathe the lifestyle, he knows he has to face Master Hunter again. He just doesn't know if his heart can stand it!
What I particularly enjoyed about this one was, that Master Hunter and Tobey already had their getting together, they had their feelings grow and develop, and this is about them getting back together! And, also, *don't die of shock, here folks!* there is very little sexy time! Yes, yes I know, I KNOW I usually like my books with lots of sexy time, and this whole series has been amazing for that, but this book?? Not needed, at all. Cos what it's about is really two men, getting their act together and telling each other how they really feel! When Tobey gives Master Hunter a chance to explain his comment, well, lets just say, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (and pass the bucket! ? )
The whole saga around Corey's kidnapping takes another turn, and it isn't Corey in danger this time, it's Liam. And Master Neal's world comes crashing down around his ears when he realised Liam is gone.
I mentioned Cruella (working in Master Neal's tattoo studio) in my review for book 6, but thinking back on it (I had already read book 7 before writing that review) I don't think they don't appear til this book. But I stand by what I said, Cruella and Ray would make an excellent edition to this series, even if they aren't in the lifestyle in any way. Cruella is quite the character, and I do love the quirky ones.
I have book 8 to read, but I don't wanna! I don't want this series to end!

An Interesting Lead in to the Next Novel

I read this one last after I'd finished the whole series and I feel that was the best way to do it. You really get a feel for the struggle that Thimble and Stone had. *SpoilerAlert* Spoiler for book three! I would have liked to have read their story all the way to the docks where they go to the island as it would have tied in nicely with the third book but I understand that would have probably been a book in itself instead of a short story but yeah, overall a great piece of fiction. I'm really glad the author saved Thimble and Stone they were great characters too good to lose in a series like this.
MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated No Small Parts (Bluewater Bay, #16) in Books
Oct 1, 2018
MoMo’s Book Diary’s recommends Ally Blue’s No Small Parts as 3 star read.
This is book sixteen in the Bluewater Bay series but the first I have read. Whilst it was an enjoyable read I do not have the burning desire to rush out and read the rest of the series.
No Small Parts is a quick read and a bit predictable – or have I just read too many romances and not enough crime lately? The writing was engaging with relatable characters who are interesting and very well described by the author. I enjoyed the story of friendship and romance between the two male characters.
Thanks to NetGalley and Riptide Publishing for the opportunity to review this book prior to publication.

I was looking forward to this book as I had waited a while to wait for the conclusion of the series. I love mainly everything about this book but I feel like Aelin gave up far to much and them forging the lock was a bit anti climatic. I also feel like the ending was a bit rushed and could maybe of been better if it was split into two. I did expect a death but feel like Graviel dying was a bit unnecessary, there was so many opportunities to kill someone else off!
However overall I did enjoy the book and really hope she doesn't end the series here as I would love to see what happens with the court and how Aelin rebuilt everything.

The Story (1 more)
The Characters
Favourite Book Series
Noughts and Crosses is a modern take on Romeo and Juliet; two people want to be together, however, it is seen as wrong as one of them is black (Cross) and the other person is white (Nought). Noughts and Crosses explores a range of serious happenings, including terrorism and racism.
Malorie Blackman writes very well; she has to be one of my favourite authors. I showed a whole range of emotions whilst reading this series.
This book has also been made into a BBC show. It is not exactly the same (which is good), but it is pretty much the same.
Overall, I would recommend this book, if this is the sort of thing you are interested in.

Dana (24 KP) rated A Cold Legacy (The Madman's Daughter, #3) in Books
Mar 23, 2018
This was a pretty good ending to the series. Though I liked the other two novels better, this one still held its own. With heavy ties to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, this novel took on even darker and more serious elements to the series. Frankly, I didn't know that would have been possible. The characters went on developing and there were quite a few twists that I didn't see coming. After one point toward that later half of the book, however, I found myself not wanting to pay as much attention. I felt like it had already been through all of the stuff it was going through and got a bit repetitive. I liked the book, overall, though and would highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a good horror novel!
