If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.
This is a story about learning who you truly are, fighting the system, and overcoming death even if it is temporary. Add in a slow build romance that feels real and you have rosemarked.
Zivah and Dineas's story is told from alternating points of view. The author does a fantastic job of portraying each view point.
  
When a best selling mystery writer invites his children to his English manor, murder makes an appearance. I enjoyed the good, but I really felt like the main character was a bit too cardboard. The other characters certainly made up for it.

The death of a retired school teacher shocks the community of Three Pines. But was it an accident or murder? It took me quite a while to sort out the characters. Once I did, I really got hooked on them and the story.

A mostly fun collection of food related murder by a wide variety of authors. A few of the mysteries were rushed at the end, but for a most part they worked. However, there was one story that was disturbing and I didn't care for at all.

Josie's new antique auction house in New Hampshire is beginning to take off, but then a potential wealthy client is found murdered and Josie is a suspect. The plot and characters were good, but the ending was weaker than it should have been.

Some of the interns, again, find themselves in harms way and barely escaping death as they continue to navigate the halls of Seattle Grace. Tragedy after tragedy befalls our heroine as she tries to touch base with who she truly is as a surgeon and otherwise. Boundaries are again crossed and pushed to their limit. Relationships constantly being built and torn down all around our favorite interns.

Continuing the gruesome Tall Man saga
These movies seem a lot like the Evil Dead franchise in that one movie picks up right where the other leaves off and is one linear story the whole way through. This entry was still pretty good with the usual gruesome bits and flying death spheres of fun. Not as much action in this one as the first two.

Emotional

An emotional well written book, the author opens up about the run up to the death of her young daughter who falls ill at the age of three and her life beforehand. She also talks about life after and how her and her family struggled to come to terms with what had happened. I struggled to put the book down and felt emotionally involved whilst reading.

Felt a couple of episodes too long (0 more)
A great thriller set in Hong Kong as a Husband from the UK uncovers mysterious facts around the death of his wife. It starts well and the first few episodes have some great twists and turns. Unfortunately it loses momentum around the last few episodes. It features a great cast and some great locations around Hong Kong.
