Book Divas (227 KP) rated A Quarrel Called (Stewards of the Plane #1) in Books
Dec 12, 2017 (Updated Dec 12, 2017)
Once I got into the story line I couldn't put it down. This was truly an interesting and intriguing read though by the end I was left with some questions but not enough to deter my rating. I did find some of the characters somewhat lacking but there were others such as Melody and Sam that made it all worthwhile to me. I enjoyed the paranormal elements to this story and I certainly enjoyed the world building. I will definitely read the next book in the series.

Lee Ann (116 KP) rated This Fallen Prey (Casey Duncan, #3) in Books
May 24, 2018
Kelley Armstrong is a cruel, evil woman.
This Fallen Prey takes you on a rollercoaster as Casey tells you all about the day the Council drops a dangerous serial killer into Rockton without any advance warning.
What you get from that point on is a crazy edge of the seat ride as you try and figure out whether he's really what the council have claimed, or if there's something deeper and more complex going on. With betrayals and deaths and twists that just keep you turning the pages, the third book of the Casey Duncan series does not disappoint.
It does leave us with a minor cliffhanger.. and I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Redemption (Angel: Season 1, #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Enh. The plot sounded good, and it could have, but it just didn't quite get there for me. And I know Angel is over 250-years-old, but we don't always need flashbacks, at least not the overabundance of them that were used in this book. There were actually shows, many shows, in the series that didn't have a one, shocking as that may sound. I'm really starting to dislike flashbacks now. The characterizations were generally good, although a few times I had the thought: "Angel would never say that." But overall, when it got back to 'present' times, it was fairly interesting. And it was nice to have Doyle back again. A decent book, but not great.
Sam (74 KP) rated The Unauthorised Biography in Books

I loved this! I got so excited when I saw the thirteen questions about Lemony Snicket that were being asked, and I loved it even more when I discovered that they were being answered in the typical Snicket way – cryptic and nonsensical.
The book is made up of multiple letters, newspaper clippings and diary entries that explain everything and nothing at the same time.
It did give a few of the characters some more background which I enjoyed, and it explained the relationship between the characters a lot more than the book series does.
It never tells you the exact truth. I stared at the Snicket family tree for ages trying to work out the initials!

I received a free copy of this book after winning a goodreads contest. It was a decent book; interesting enough to keep me reading, but not enough to have me hooked and reading through the night to find out what happened next.
I am left with a lot of questions at the end. What is Kate? What's up with her blood? If it's so sacred, why did she perform a blood ritual in front of a virtual stranger in her apartment? Why did she leave said stranger in her apartment with access to her bloody clothes while she went to take a shower?
Hopefully the other books in the series will answer some of my questions.

Georgina DeBurca (2 KP) rated Sex, Wolves and Rock 'n Roll (Lyric Hounds #3) in Books
Jan 29, 2018
This is a slightly different style of book compared to others of this series. It's a male/male romance. And as opposed to leaping into hardcore man on man sex scenes, there is a lot of focus on the emotions. Don't get me wrong, there were romance scenes involving sex acts and they were written perfectly. But the emotions portrayed in this one kept me hooked til the end and I fell in love with the two lovers in this book.
Well written, as normal. No silly errors tripping me up. Good pace. Showed back story. Brought past characters into this story and showed more character development again.
Loved it.
5/5
Would definitely suggest to friends.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Jason wakes up on a bus in the middle of a desert with his best friend and girlfriend. The only problem is, he has no memory of them or who he is. Finding out he's a demi-god is no real help. Will a quest bring him closer to his memories? This is the first in the follow up series to Percy Jackson, and I really enjoyed it. The book could have been trimmed somewhere, but I was having so much fun I really didn't care. And the new characters felt absolutely real to me.
