Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated A Court of Thorns and Roses in Books
Jan 11, 2021
4.5 stars
I wasnt sure about this for a long time. I started book three in the authors Throne of Glass series and had to put it on hold because I wasn't in the mood and that has to be about a year ago now and I still haven't picked it back up.
But this, though the start dragged so little, quickly pulled me in. Once she got taken by the fae--not my favourite creature to read about at all--I was quickly engrossed in it. The storyline was weaved together brilliantly and I was hooked.
I'm looking forward to reading more of this series but it'll have to wait till it gets cheaper in price, I think.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Never Too Far (Rosemary Beach, #2; Too Far, #2) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
Nothing ever runs smoothly, does it? And these twos relationship is no exception. Once again it's a roller coaster of emotion and feeling as Rush is once more pulled between his loyalty to his sister and his love for Blaire.
This series is emotional and you get so engrossed in Blaire and Rush's story that you feel like you're in the story with them, seeing it all happen right in front of you.
I need to find out what happens in the end with these two but I've noticed that Woods' story is book three in the Rosemary Beach series, so should I read his story next or go straight into Forever Too Far?? HELP?!?!

Undeniable Lover (Worlds of Lemuria: Earth Colony #4) by Rosalie Redd
Undeniable Lover is the fourth book in the Worlds of Lemuria: Earth Colony series. This IS a series, so you would have to read it from book one for it to make sense. That being said, this book is a brilliant addition to the series.
Saar carries a scar on his face, and a whole load of guilt in his soul for something that happened in the past. He feels that no female will every want him, and shies away from most of them. There is one female though, that intrigues him, even though he should know better. Kaelyn is one of the Ursus, recently given to Zedron, and so rightfully fighting on the opposite side to Saar. However, none of the Ursus want to fight for Zedron, although they have no choice. Kaelyn and Saar end up fighting against each other, but Kaelyn is injured. Instead of leaving her to the other Ursus, Saar takes her back to the Keep, simply because he needs to know she is well.
The story moves on from there, with both Saar and Kaelyn fighting themselves, their feelings, and everyone else in this war. You also spend some more time with Zedron and Alora. Part of me wants this war to end, and for Alora to be victorious. The other part of me wants it to continue so I get more stories out of it. I would love to have Gaetan's story. He is made out to be so old, and yet he plays quite a significant role in this book. There is one bittersweet moment that could be sad if not for the relief felt by the person it happened to. I won't say much about that, but I really loved that part.
One warning though, this book does end on a cliffhanger, so don't expect everything to be tied up neatly. With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, this book was a wonderful read, and I highly recommend it.

Apr 21, 2019
I first read The Gunslinger when I was in high school and at the height of my Stephen King obsession. Going in and didn't really know what to expect from the story since I didn't really look too much into the series when I first picked it up which I'm pretty glad I didn't because I have never been much of a western fan so I'm not sure if I really would have have this a fair shot.
The Gunslinger honestly can be on the slow side even for such a short book but King does an amazing job of really showing you the world ge is building while still leaving a lot open for the series to build around. After reading this for the first and second time in still not sure how I feel about Rowland aka The Gunslinger I do grow to really love the character in the next book but as an introduction my feelings are never really solid. The character that really peaks my interest is The Man In Black through out the book I just can't wait to find out more about him and why Rowland is chasing him.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2609 KP) rated Death by Coffee (Bookstore Cafe Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Best friends Krissy and Vickie have moved to Pine Hills and opened a bookstore and coffee shop. They’ve even named it Death by Coffee after one of Krissy’s dad’s bestselling mystery novels. But they find themselves in a real life mystery on their first day in business when a customer buys a cup of coffee, takes it to his office across the street, and dies. Krissy will have to act fast to clear their shop of any wrong doing in the crime.
The book sounded like fun, and I really wanted to like it, but the truth it is turned out to be average. The plot was a little uneven at times, but it still advanced to a great and logical climax. The suspects were good, but most of the series regular characters were a bit flat. Krissy did some embarrassing things that made me cringe, and her cat was annoying. Here’s hoping the series gets better as it goes along.
NOTE: I was sent an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
