Claiming Hope ( Hope 2)
By Elizabeth Knight
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
So you guys remember the naked man in the alley?
Now he’s my mate along with one of his friends. I might also have my eyes on the other two as well because why not? Oh yeah forgot to mention, turns out I’m a werewolf, hence the mating thing. Not only that but I’m the only Alpha Female in existence, which makes sense why that asshole of a fake fiance wanted to keep me for himself.
*Girl you suck at explaining what's going on.*
Shut up I’ve got this handled. Managed to do it last time without you.
Anyway…
Thanks to the four men who came crashing into my life, I was rescued and kept safe. Now I’m on a plane to who the hell knows where while the guys keep alluding to the fact that I have an important role to play in their world. Am I ready to step into whatever they have waiting for me? I’ve only been a werewolf for two weeks and still have so much to learn.
That was so much better than book 1! Hopes wolf is just brilliant I loved it the first time round but this was better. The story had an interesting take I loved her different mates and the pack she now leads. The ending was a cliffhanger but a really good one. Definitely moving on to book 3!

Merissa (12838 KP) rated Shadowman (Shadow #3) in Books
Jan 29, 2024
Shadowman is the full-length story of Kathleen and Shadowman! It is the third book in the Shadow series and I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to this one!
Shadowman will stop at nothing to find Kathleen. He knows she's not in Twilight and since Custo has told him she's not in the Hereafter, then that only leaves Hell. So he builds a gate. It gets opened-just a crack-by Layla but something or someone slips through.
Oh, man, but I loved this story. It was a slow start but built up to an amazing story that kept me turning the pages, unable to put it down. I loved the twists and turns in it, as both Shadowman and Layla figure out just who they are, both to each other and to other people. It is chock full of emotion and the ending is full of action. I had to read it twice, just to make sure I hadn't missed anything.
It feels like the end of the series, but I sincerely hope we return to Segue. There is still so much to see, and I hope to catch up with all my favourite characters too. Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended by me.

I absolutely loved this book. I laughed so much and I was so touched. Many times I felt like Anna was talking about me instead of her. I have many of the same quirks and thoughts about myself, especially while I was growing up. This book made me think, man we could be friends! Except for the freedom of potty mouth, which everyone who knows me knows sounds really dumb when I try to use cool curse words. I enjoy her acting, and now I am really impressed with what a down to earth person she is. And yeah, I hope maybe someday we'll meet, even for a moment, and I'll have the courage to be cool and say I loved this book to her face.

A dystopian current affairs magical realistic fiction
A deeply tragic account of how two people can be caught in circumstances of war, how easy it is to lose everything and the potential hope that humanity offers. Saeed and Nadia attempt to face an apocalyptic situation in the face of adversity despite having a tenuous connection to one another. It is quite a depressing read especially given the current situation in the Middle East - but Hamid does a great job in humanising the characters. They are just two simple people attempting to make a relationship work under intense circumstances. A beautiful account, I just wished the story was slightly more developed as it tended to run from one scene to another.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Dynamite Fishermen (Beirut Trilogy, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Since I received my first book by [Preston Fleming] through Library Thing I have been impressed. [Dynamite Fishermen] did not disappoint me. I really enjoy the way he tells a story and believe Conrad Prosser could compete with Jack Ryan. Except maybe not a pure as Ryan which makes him more credible as a government employee.
The setting of Beirut in the 1980's really was in intriguing setting especially growing up in the 1980's and remembering the weekly new reports. This is an often forgotten time of American history when we supported Iraq and Saddam. I hope this book is widely read by a younger generation and gives them a new perspective of America in the Middle East. Also it was an awesome book.

Jan 15, 2018
Oh my gosh! What an awesome book!! I'm not even quite sure how to describe it. This book is quite unlike anything I have read before. It is part coming of age tale, part fairy tale, part love story. Celia & Marco are interesting characters who possess extraordinary abilities while still being real. The story sucks you in from the first sentence and doesn't let you go even at the final sentence...I found myself in denial that it was over. It was one of those books you just don't want to end but yet you can't seem to put down.
I finished this book a huge fan of Erin Morgenstern. I hope she will write more books as excellent and addicting as The Night Circus!!!

The characters are flat (1 more)
predictable
false hope
Honestly, I found this book very flat. I read it twice, hoping that I would somehow feel something besides boredom while reading this book. The two main characters are exactly the same with the exact same personality.
The narration in somewhat stilted and quite bland and gets really cliche and annoying at points. There was very litter character development and you're more told how to feel instead of being able to connect properly with the characters.
That said, It was a fast read that didn't take much time to complete. Even so, by the middle of it I was wondering when it would end cause it kind of drones on about the same few things over and over.

Oh this is a total version of what I got used to watch so far from al Thor movies , and as far as I can say from my own point of view and my own judgement I loved the way they have made this movie .... it is much tinier than I was expecting with different humour approaches that surprised me quite a few time and also it keeps a very interesting story line that will make you be curious of what's going to happen next .
So overall it is a very good movie from my side and I would definitely recommend you guys seing it and let me k ow what is your opinion.
Thank you, and I hope you will or had enjoyed this movie.
