Mason has a big-time crush on Hunter who they work with. However, when they were drunk and made a pass at Hunter, he turned him down flat out, leaving Mason a little heartbroken but he kept the friendship going. Hunter has an attraction toward Mason and wishes he could tell them what truly beautiful and wholesome human being they are and how they make him feel.


Oh my gosh, this story is beautiful! It's the third instalment of the dungeons and dating series and every story is written with so much feeling and passion that you get an understanding of each character.


Both Mason and Hunter have their different heartaches regarding drugs and addiction, you get a feel of the turmoil both characters have going on inside them and in some instances have my heart breaking for them.


It is a beautiful story that focuses on drug misuse, the loss of loved ones through drug use and the love and friendship people can find in the darkest of times

I enjoyed this novel about two friends from Karachi, both from wealthy families. It’s 1988, and a time of great change in Pakistan. The dictatorship is over, and Benazir Bhutto is set to become Prime Minister.

Maryam and Zahra make a poor decision after a party that has consequences for many years.

Thirty years later both women live in London. They both have the best educations that money can buy, and a Oxbridge degree each. They’re both hugely successful in their chosen professions, and regularly see the seedier side of their professions (mainly corrupt politicians).

But when someone from their past reappears, questionable decisions are made once again. I was mentally shouting at the character involved for her utter stupidity, and I was really surprised that Maryam and Zehra’s friendship survived this at all - I don’t know as I would be as forgiving. There was a point where I wasn’t so sure that the friendship would survive though.

I liked this, and I’m aware from reading other reviews that it’s very much a marmite book. Love it or hate it: I loved it.

Can Florian Solve an Art Heist?
Florian Bates and his family have just moved to Washington DC, where his parents have landed jobs at the National Gallery. Florian is building a friendship with his neighbor, Margaret, before they both start middle school. But when the National Gallery is robbed, they realize they might have some vital information. Can they use their observations to figure out the crime.

This book starts with an exciting scene near the climax before flashing us back to the beginning, a storytelling style I don’t like. And the book took a bit longer with the set up than I normally enjoy. Here, I did find watching Florian and Margaret build their friendship fun. The mystery itself is good with some nice developments before we reach the climax. I also enjoyed the homage to Sherlock Holmes in Florian’s ability to observe the small things. Readers of all ages will find the pages turning all too quickly. I’m hoping I can read the next two soon.

Fun!
What a fun, extremely entertaining movie. The slapstick humor had me rolling. The cinematography and acting were great and the premise was refreshingly unique. This movie about friendship was so fun and endearing. When I first saw the preview, I thought "How can they make a movie about this?'. To find out some friends actually did this in their lives was surprisingly heartwarming. This is a movie for the whole family. Really worth a watch!
