Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Daughters of the Lake in Books
Dec 10, 2018
This book was a lot different than I thought it was going to be, there were certain parts that really sucked me in and there were other parts that sort of seemed like they went unfinished. I felt like the romantic aspect was slightly far fetched with the detective and there were a lot of details left out about Celeste. Overall, very quick read and I was glad to have gotten this book from Kindle First.

For the most part this book is quite interesting. The general story line is engaging however in between dialogue there is a lot of description about the settings which sometimes go on for several pages. Too much information, in my opinion. It makes the book boring and long to read. Sometimes it was like reading a text book, a non-fiction book about pre-historic times. I ended up skim reading quite a lot of the novel.

Another free short story from Reilly, master of the full throttle thriller. This one revolves around the idea of the possibility of travelling to a different time as a tourist - and as this is Reilly things don't go quite as expected resulting in a battle for survival.
These short stories are nothing more than sketches, the author playing with some ideas so don't expect a lot of polish - or a lot of plot. Just a quick, free thrill ride

Hmmm...
I liked this but not a such as the previous two. I think that since I read the second book right before this that having to relive a lot of it again in the first half of this was rather annoying. It put me off a lot.
That being said, I do love Pick Ryan. And Eva. And the two babies--so adorable!!
Haven't decided whether to jump into Quinn's story straight away or not yet. Hmm...

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Matchmaker's Replacement (Wingmen Inc., #2) in Books

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as Ian's story. Ian had a sort of cocky inner voice and a way of coming across that I really loved. No offense to our hot geek but I didn't get as good a vibe from him. But then again this being written in dual POV made their relationship growth a lot easier to follow.
I did enjoy this a lot though and look forward to reading more books by the author.

Jcadden76 (64 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) in Movies

We lose a good character but the plot rockets forward.
Order of the Phoenix is almost the Empire Strikes Back of the Harry Potter series. You don't end with a whole lot of good feels at the end of this movie. The lot does really take off and you stay on the edge of your seat for the better part of the film.
This might have the best pacing of the entire series. The ups and downs the good vibes and the bad fall at just the right time. To me this is the movie that had to be made because it is the "book" but there is not a whole lot of upside in this one - except for some tremendous acting all the way around.

Character graphics (2 more)
Good cutscenes
Compelling story
Great distances between quests (1 more)
Unnecessary running
I really liked the customization of weapons and armor and different skill trees. Lots of flexibility usable with different play styles. You can craft different ammo types using materials.
Some of the more basic weapons were fun to use with the hunting missions against animals.
The variety of enemies was also a lot of fun and provided a lot of variety.
Some of the game felt a little hand holdy, but still very fun to explore. Lots of side quests provide a lot of additional game time.
Reputability is good since you can save your cool weapons you have accumulated throughout the game.
Overall, very entertaining game with cool visuals and characters.

Lots of stuff to do
Good character collection
Great game for the phone
I play a lot of games on my phone. I have played this one for over a year. That says a lot. It is not pay to win and there is a great assortment of characters to choose from. There are also numerous ways to gain access to characters. So if you put in the time, your team is actually competitve with those who pay to play. That is hard to come by.
There are also story lines, events, and they do a good job of introducing new characters on a regular basis.
Last but not least... there is strategy. Strategy is something a lot of games lack.
