I tried to distance myself from this story because I knew it would kill me emotionally but I cried quite a bit near the end, and couldn't even finish the last page because I'm starting work in ten minutes and have gone all red eyed with crying.

I only gave it four stars because I like happy endings and we'll...I'm sure you can guess with the tears.

I'm looking forward to seeing the film.

Overall rating 2.5 stars

<b>The Exterminator's Daughter - Meg Cabot</b> - 3 stars.

If this had been a little longer and fleshed out just a little more then it would have gotten four stars but since it wasn't, it's getting three. Adam was quite fun and I loved his water pistol on the two occasions it appeared. If the author ever fancied doing it into a full length story then I'd read it because Mary and Adam make quite a fun team

<b>The Corsage - Lauren Myracle</b> - 2 stars

I didn't particularly enjoy this one until the last five pages but they couldn't save the story. Not to my liking at all.

<b>Madison Avery and the Dim Reaper - Kim Harrison</b> -2.5 stars

Madison was quite annoying when she was arguing that she was still alive and took the amulet from Seth and leading up to that it didn't really grab me and pull me in. I don't think I'll be reading more of this series.

<b>Kiss and Tell - Michele Jaffe</b> - 3 stars

I enjoyed this once we got past the initial back-info overload. Once Sibby arrived and was being her teenager-y annoying self and winding up our super-powered Miranda i got into the story. The prom took a while to arrive but she had an almost kiss with her crush before things went to hell. And then we get a little twist at the end before she ends up getting a date with her crush. If it was a full length story then i would read it.

<b>Hell on Earth - Stephanie Meyer</b> - 2 stars

I had no idea what was going on in this for a long time and then when I figured it out I wasn't into the plot. Not for me.

I never seem to do things in the right order. This is my third Women's Murderer Club book. I have already read 5 and 6. I gave the book three stars because I didn't like the way it ended.
Four women from four different sides of the law decide to put their collective brains together to solve murder cases. Lindsay the homicide detective, Claire the medical examiner, Jill the assistant district attorney, and Cindy the crime reporter.
When three couples turn up dead after their wedding nights, these ladies work together to find the killer. When they find out that the suspect is someone famous,will Lindsay be able to find enough evidence for an arrest, or will the guilty get away?

3.5 stars.

I loved Colt and Jace; they were so sweet with each other. I even cried twice. I wanted to punch Colt at one bit for suggesting what he did and I didn't blame Jace for trying to leave.

I feel like I also have to mention Colt's dad. He is a homophobic arsehole!

My rating has gone down half a star because of the ending. It feels like the story hasn't been finished to me. Now if it had been Colt's dad, then it might have felt more complete and I'd have given it four stars but with it being left open...

I liked Mitch, and I'm wondering if his will be the next story in the series.

3.5 stars.

I'll be honest and say that I've been eyeing this book for a while. I like to read short stories between, and sometimes during, my longer books to break them up a little to keep boredom away.

I finally caved and downloaded it yesterday and you know what? I actually enjoyed the story.

It would have been a four star rating if the ending hadn't been so quick. If it had been drawn out a little more I'd have been happier.

Once again only four stars

This is only the 2nd out of five or six of the authors books that I've given four instead of five.

I loved young Louis and protective Josh, and Dallas, and seeing Trip and Luther and a few others from the authors previous books but once again something was missing for me.

Yet once again I can't quite pinpoint what it was. Maybe it was the slow burn that didn't really start to show into about the 40% mark, or maybe the fact that it didn't become truly a thing until long after that--about 70%. It wasn't obvious for a long time which guy Diana was going to end up with, which didn't help.

Nevertheless, I look forward to reading more of Mariana's books.
