A well made series
I've seen this mentioned and the book it's based on getting high praise, so I thought I'd check it out. Someone said it was very Agatha Christie like, maybe in terms of the setting and characters. There is normally a murder to be solved but it normally relies on the main characters interaction with people, rather than any clues being unraveled. Still interesting nevertheless.

Netgalley and Gollancz have allowed me to review the much anticipated @Ravencry , @Ed McDonald 's second instalment in the Raven's Mark series. As a result, his first, @Blackwing , shoots to the top of my TBR pile. I just have to finish by brother, @Ed James 's, 4th book first. I don't think I've ever use the "@" button that many times before.

This is a novelization of the first episode of Angel and a good introduction to the series. I liked the added depth to some scenes and the characters rang true, which probably has to do with it being based off the teleplay. While there might have been some inconsistencies, that might have more to do with changes that occurred after the book was even written. Nevertheless, at 177 pages, it's a fast and easy read.

Excellent comic book show

I absolutely loved this show even though I was sceptical about the cast at first. It was dark, funny and the fight scenes are brutal. I can't wait for the next series.
My only issue was the final episode didn't really push the story on. It was like the writers came up with the cliff hanger and then had to rush to make up the rest of the episode.
  
this is a well written story which was beautifully written, I just couldn't put it down till id got to the last page and I didn't want it to end. This book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. The characters have very intense chemistry between them. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

this is the first book in the series that I’ve read, I was a little lost at the beginning but once the story unfolded I was hooked. this is a very erotic read but they are written really well and work perfectly within the story. I loved the characters and the story, I will defiantly be going back and starting from the beginning.

Plain Living Decoded
The Foxfire Book is a collection of articles about how to survive on meager means and determination. Everything you need to know about subsistence living is addressed in one of its volumes. This is great for homesteaders, off grid livers, hikers, campers, or just people who want to know how to take care of things themselves should the need arise. Highly recommend the entire series.

When a maniac starts killing honeymooners, Lt. Boxer of the SFPD looks for help outside the box for bringing the killer to justice. This series debut had a decent plot until the ending, which was just stupid. I did like the main characters, although I could have used fewer details on their love lives.

Sir John Fielding investigates when a family of printers are brutally murdered in 1760's London. This is the second in the series. I loved the characters as much as in the first, but I found the plot way too slow and predictable, with a second plot taking up way too much time.

Peter has to produce an item he doesn't know where is or get dragged back to Turkey. Meanwhile, Grace thinks she's found a lead on a previously unknown Percy Shelley sonnet. This is a bit slower than the previous two stories in the series, but it's still a fun romp with great characters.
