Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Raging Heat (Nikki Heat, #6) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

With Hurricane Sandy bearing down on NYC, Nikki is racing to solve the murder of a man who fell from a plane. Are the clues leading to a powerful politician? Or is she ignoring the true trail and the clues that her boyfriend Rook is finding?

While there are scenes and lines that fans of Castle will love, this book works well as a mystery on its own. And the arrival of Sandy, while predictably timed, does add a great new layer to the story. Some interesting character development and this book is another winner is one of the most brilliant tie in series of all time.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

WHERE WOLF? THERE WOLF! THERE CASTLE!

I really liked this book! Mia is a likable strong character who dealt with horrible abuse.

Then her abuser is attacked by a werewolf.

Suddenly she's taken to a school to train in fighting werewolves and discovers the things she thought were good may not be.

So. I really did like this book but there were a few things that struck me as off.

A character is very upset at the idea of werewolf hunting. Another character doesn't even consider that they could be a werewolf.

It's strange because this character was shown to be pretty intelligent before that.

Spring is a feisty Scottish warrior woman and a refreshing change from the usual damsels in distress that permeate novels of this genre and period. However, once her father arranges her marriage to Shaw, laird of Edinvale Castle and her clan's sworn enemy, this young woman's life changes forever.

One of my favourite things about this story was Spring's character development. Throughout the story, she uncovers more and more of the truth and discovers what it truly means to belong along the way. Fun, romantic, and at times, steamy, this is a great starting point to delve into the world that author Elizabeth Rose has created.

Highland Spring is a quick, light read - perfect for keeping you busy on a rainy weekend!

Re-writing the formula

Sequel to the MASSIVE Wii U hit, Super Mario Maker. Here is a new one for the Switch. Handful of new mechanics, most of the building mechanics are available from the story. And while the game has its own tutorial, the NEW Story Mode helps you learn in a different way.

Peach's Castle is destroyed. Complete premade levels to help rebuild it. And each one give you a unique look at one of the mechanics. Use it for inspiration.

Great addition to the Switch library. If you like Mario games... why not help the community make their own?
