The whole storyline of the aftermath of the shooting. (0 more)
Great book by Nora. Love how she wrote it in 3 parts. The first part on the shooting 2nd coping with the situation and last part getting the culprits. Couldn't put it down.

Good quirky drama
The first series was a bit of a surprise hit. A quirky English drama about a MI6 agent tracking a flamboyant female assassin across Europe. It is very funny at times, in a typical English kinda way. Whilst also being quite violent as well.
The 2nd series picks up 30 seconds after the end of the first series. It's very similar to the first in terms of style, humor. This time a second assassin seems to be in play and Eve makes connections to a bigger plot. It's still just as fun as the first series. It's quite short with 8 episodes around 40 minutes each. I just preferred the cat and mouse storyline of the first series. Fans will love it just as much.

Didn't Match Up
This book is about first love, and having a physical relationship for the first time. Normally I enjoy cute love stories, but this was a little flat. The topic and themes were solidly YA, but the writing style is more middle grade. This made the characters come across as younger than what they were. I think if the book had focused more on the emotional aspects of their relationship it would have been better. Unfortunately it was mostly about their sex life. The one up side is that the book did put a lot of emphasis on safe sex.

I just have recently read it. I try to rate things based off of the intended audience, however I grew up in a house hold that was always very open about sex. That could have made a difference. I just know this isn't a book I would give my 13yo sister if she came to me asking questions.

When I grew up, sex was a forbidden topic other than, Wait until you're married." It's no wonder my older sisters got pregnant before marriage. Most of my instruction came from reading my older sister's magazines and my Mom's medical reference book. Thankfully, I was able to avoid teen pregnancy. I bought condoms and kept them in my purse so I could have them on hand when I went out with my boyfriend and I got on the pill when I was 15 or 16. I'm a huge proponent of safe sex. Knowledge is power.

Movie Favorite

"I first saw this movie on a third-generation bootleg without subtitles while I was making my first real movie, Modern Love Is Automatic. It changed the way I made that movie (there were pickup shots in Modern Love that were slated “Jeanne Dielman, take 1”) and the way I thought about movies, art, and time in general. This movie never gets enough credit for how funny and tense it is—it’s equal parts scathing satire and deconstruction/reinvention of the Hitchcockian thriller. Film financiers of the world, give all your money to twentysomething Belgian women."

Holy smokes!!

I thought the first in the series was good but Hunt has blown my socks off.
    I always love a shifter romance and I wasn't disappointed.

With twists and surprises I was kept entertained from the first page to the last.....And it didn't hurt that there were two smoking hot guys and some even hotter loving going on.
    I love the way the characters develop and how they interact with each other, it really helps to create a bigger more rounded picture that ensnares you.

Definitely an adult read, perfect with a cheeky drink and some decadent chocolate.

Love my Prime membership
Amazon is incredible. I can find items I could not find in regular stores. It's a great convenience. I love the movies I can watch with my prime membership and the Kindle First is an amazing way to have a new book each month and experience a new author too.

this was a new author to me, but what a fab book. I really liked the characters and loved the story line which flowed really well. this is a second chance love story which will have you hooked from the first page. the story has plenty of love, romance, banter and some hot steamy scenes.

after reading the first one I had high hopes for this, and I wasn't disappointed. I love this series, I love the characters and the story line. this is a second chance romance story which you'll be reading long into the night. these stories are written to run along side each other not one after the other. cant wait to read the next in series.
