Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Killing Sarai (In the Company of Killers, #1) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
In a way this reminded me of The Dark Duet series only minus the BDSM stuff and with more killing.
I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started this, I just knew it was by an author I like and so, I was therefore likely to enjoy this too, and I did.
It focused more on the assassin, Victor, and how he went from being a rather emotionless killer but seeing it all happen from Sarai's POV. It was different to a lot of the other stuff I read an I really liked it.
I need Reviving Izabel soon so I can find out what's going to happen in the future between these two.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated At Your Beck & Call: Tales of a male escort in Books
Jan 7, 2021
This is my third book by the author, I think, and one thing I've noticed is she does a lot of background. And in this, I didn't care--AT ALL! I didn't care how he became an escort or what his clients liked or disliked.
I wanted him to meet this client he falls for and find out how he was going to make the relationship work with her considering his job and the mentioned age gap. Nowhere near that by 28% in--and 3 days later--so I'm giving up since I haven't enjoyed it much up til now.
I think I'm going to avoid this author in the future.

I liked a lot of this book; the romance and friendship that Caymen had with Xander, Skye and the band and strangely the doll shop and it's shoppers. The thing that knocked it down a quarter star was their preconceived bad feelings toward the rich without their being an explanation for most of the book.
Nevertheless I still liked the book a lot. Xander and his family were so down to Earth and he grew on me so much throughout this book. I thought Caymen was a little stupid to try and resist him because he was pretty amazing.
I look forward to reading more books by the author in the future.

After reading this I'm not sure I get the story title but other than that I liked this.
It was polar opposites attracting; the popular guy and the girl who's different, the loner.
I liked how they both changed. The found hope and a reason to be better, to believe that they could become better with each other in their lives. Overcoming obstacles and the past to hope for a better future.
I kind of wish the ending had been a little longer but knowing that they finally stood up for each other and that Stella was actually giving college a chance was enough for me.
Another nice YA romance from Katie McGarry.
