Wonderfully honest and refreshing
Very rarely do we see such an honest glimpse of depression, a hideous and insidious condition that affects a large part of the population. However, Matt Haig's self-help book crosses over into the memoir genre, in which he speaks about his journey through the depths of his anxiety.
It is brutal at times, especially when he speaks about contemplating suicide, but it is ultimately hopeful. Although not everything will resonate with everyone, the main factors are similar across the board, and it allows you to gain insight into other's experiences of the illness. A surprisingly good read.

this is the second book in the series. the characters are well developed and seem real, the secondary characters seem to bring the story together nicely. there are plenty of hot steamy scenes and they are very intense, which will keep you hooked till the end. the journey that the characters go on throughout the book is fantastically written. this book basically has everything you need in a book, romance, sexy, intriguing and very compelling. i cant wait to read more from this author again in the future.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Preyfinders (Preyfinders, #1-3) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
Wow what a ride. Ever since reading AndersonÂ’s Claimed, I have been jonsing for a good alien romance without all the cheese and ridiculousness. This series was exactly what I needed. It has everything, being both steamy and romantic with the plot able to carry itself. Each couplesÂ’ was different from each other in both personality and dynamic. Each one took you on a separate journey and I was in love with each in every one. I will add the disclaimer that if you arenÂ’t into rough sex and alpha males, then you should skip this one.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first I have read in this series but it is certainly not the last. I thought this was going to be another cliche romance story involving a female wronged by a man for a stupid reason and a man tired of meaningless sex. Honestly it would have been if the author wasnÂ’t such a good storyteller. I enjoyed both the characters and environment. Their love story was a delight, reading their journey of learning what they need rather than what they think they need.

I fell in love with the TV adaptation. The cast, the chemistry, the journey and the incredible, breathtaking setting made me desperate to visit Scotland. Now, having finally read the novel, my love and admiration for the series has grown. My desire to see Scotland and visit all the places Claire visited has only strengthened. And of course, my love for Jamie Fraser is greater. Not that it was difficult. He's a marvel! I absolutely loved Outlander. I loved every word. Truly, it was impossible to put down. I can't wait to read Dragonfly in Amber!
Join Jack, May, and Phillip as they journey through this alternative take on fairy tales. All the characters you know are here, and help or keep our trio from completing their quest to save their kingdom from an evil plot.
All three books in the series are in this set, and they are all compelling reads. You'll want to read them all back to back. There's action, great characters, plot twists, and sarcasm. You can't go wrong.

A perfect start to a perfect set of movies!
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a perfect start to the Harry Potter series. The creators of the movie series really hit it out of the park with the kid stars in this one. Not only were they perfectly cast but they also grew into the roles.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone takes the gang on this magical journey that is very light-hearted and beautiful. This is the "brightest" of the movies and it does the heavy-lifting of setting up the entire series.

Amazing film
Don't be put off thinking this is just another cheesey chick flick, that would be an unjust insult. This is a very well made film with a great story of true love standing the test of time. The acting, score, cinematography and the 40's theme costumes and sets really show this is a very well produced film. It might be obvious from early on what is going to happen but it doesn't stop the journey being any less fun. If you liked the romance side of Titanic and Pearl Harbour you will like this a lot.

Enjoyment throughout Exceptional
This book and its following instalments kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. So much so i went out and got everything i could to do with it and i was not left with a sour taste. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Feyre's journey is something i have been happy to read and get lost in. Such beautiful descriptions and an amazingly captivating story. I just get lost in it and will continue to do so each time i re-read it because it mesmerises me and its an adventure all the way worthy a true legend.
