This is the second book in this series by this author. This story is full of angst, action, drama and hot steamy scenes. fantastic characters, you will fall in love with as you read. I was hooked from the first page. This is a gritty romance read you will be reading long into the night. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

My first Dragon love
These are as traditional as epic fantasy gets. If you want to see every trope fantasy has to offer, this is the series for you. This is the very beginning of a world that includes generations of characters, side books to explore the origins of favorite characters and races, role playing games, podcasts, a rich history of world building, gods and magic, dragons and orcs, Dwarfs and elves and other things.

A great evil comes to Narnia. Can good defeat it one last time? This is a different book for the series, and it certainly wasn't the ending I expected when I first read it in 3rd grade. However, as an adult, I've come to love it. This is my second favorite in the series.

The NERDS team is back and on the trail of a bank robber using squirrels as his accomplishes. Is it an old friend turned villain? This Bond spoof for kids is a very funny ride that I completely loved. Definitely consider it for kids in life, but read it yourself first. You'll love it, too.

I love Get Up On This so much! I've been listening since Jensen Karp's first appearance on Kevin Smith's podcast. I loved learning so much about rap history through him. I've always had a hard time keeping up with new things and while I don't dig all of their recommendations I'm happy to at least know about the things they talk about and occasionally broaden my interests.

I honestly don't remember how or when I started listening to Welcome to Night Vale, but I do remember falling in love instantly. The voice acting is what first got me hooked onto the podcast, and the strangeness kept me listening. The characters are amazing, and the worldbuilding is brilliantly done.

However, the music choices for the weather were sometimes a bit too weird for me, but there were some great songs.

Like just don't use it anymore.
I started using their website first and then dug into their app later. I really like the app, I like the service as an idea. I used to use the app a lot more but I have developed different interest and find that I am just out of the habit of logging in and using it.

If you are a book-lover, this is a great app and you will completely love it.

The pacing changes from scene to scene so abruptly, it gets confusing. (0 more)
While it does take multiple viewings to fully grasp the story, it's an incredible film full of abrupt changes in every way imaginable. I love how characters and events are brought full circle and the ending is so perfectly confusing. There is a good chance you won't like your first viewing, and honestly, I'd call that normal.

I loved every single album of theirs until this last one.

Every.
One.

Comatose was the first one I heard, great stuff. I fell more and more in love with them as the years went by.

ENTER THIS ATROCITY OUT OF LEFT FIELD



“Unleashed” sounded like overly processed spam plopping sadly out of a dusty can onto a generic plate of boredom.

This is very easy to read, unlike a lot of translated classics. I highly recommend it. It is interesting as to what is classified as a romance, as the first story of the the seven wouldn't be deemed to the modern standards of romantic. However, after getting to know the definition of romance in this context, this is very different to the way we look at romance - in terms of love and gestures, the book becomes increasingly interesting.
