Merissa (14173 KP) rated Puppy Pride in Books
Jun 25, 2025
PUPPY PRIDE is part of the Pride Summer Camp 2025 series and features Jai, who had to leave his life behind due to his secret being exposed, and Demetrius, whose son is going to the Camp for a two-week stay.
Although Jai and Demetrius are the main characters and do have a lot of page time, they are surrounded by a multitude of couples, who, I'm guessing, have all had their stories told in other books. If you haven't read them (as I haven't), then you might get all the couples and names mixed up (as I did!) It did take some of the onus away from Jai and Demetrius, which I thought was a shame, as I would have liked to see their relationship with each other develop, and also Jai's relationship with Demetrius' children.
I did enjoy this story, but I felt as though it was just lacking something, and I'm not sure what. This was a sweet second-chance romance with a hint of Daddy/puppy play.

Sweet tale, fluffy though some disturbing themes
I rather enjoyed this tale of back and forth letters between a journalist, her friends and the people on the island of Guernsey. It is lighthearted for the most part, though it describes the harrowing story of Elizabeth who was taken to a concentration camp during WWII and never returns. But the story centres around the main journalist who falls in love with the people and the island, and how she attempts to write an honest book about them. There's not much else to it, but it's a nice easy read.

The weakest in the series by quite a way. The first 2 were very good and I thought the second film was the best, just a bit slicker than the other two. It's a real shame that the Taggert character is not in this one. It starts with plenty of action but things get a bit silly and camp at the wonderworld theme park. Good to see Bronson Pinchot, Serge, back from the first film though. Hopefully next years 4th installment will have as many of the characters from the original as possible and a better story than this.

Cheese Factor
Fun
Escapism
Dark Shadows is a glorious tribute to the gothic soap opera of the same name. It is deliciously camp, cheesy and extravagant - in short it is the perfect movie to watch from under the duvet whilst steadfastly avoiding the January chill outside.
Johnny Depp (disclaimer I’m biased I think the man is a marvel) is everything you need in this role, fun Fact - did you know that as a child he used to dress up as this character for Halloween.
It is the most technically superb film of all times but it’s fun and sassy.

It really draws you in (1 more)
Very well written
I love this book
I loved this book, it is so well written, it draws you in and makes you feel like you are there, brought me to tears a few times. This shockingly true story is a fantastic human look at the atrocities that people suffered in the most notorious concentration camps in the second world war and the real struggle to survive just to beat the Nazi's. I don't think I have read a better book about experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, heart breaking and heart warming.
