Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Blade Song (Colbana Files, #1) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
I enjoyed this quite a lot. More than I expected to, actually. I tend to stick to a lot of the same authors but maybe I need to branch out a little every now and then.
I would never have guessed a certain someone would be behind the whole "hunting" thing but it's amazing how well the author changed our perception of that character from the beginning to when it's revealed at the end. Well done on that.
As for the romance, it was slow building and I was all for it when it started to appear. And I'm very interested in seeing where it goes and where/what Kit will end up doing/going next.

3.75 stars.
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.

3.75 stars. 4 stars for the first half, 3.5 stars for the second.
The author came out with a lot of wise words/phrases/comments in this book and made Charlotte seem older than her years but I guess she'd been through a lot in those 19 years .
I have to say that I might have liked it a little more if the story had ended after the 'I love yous' were spoken but at the same time I liked how the author wrote the rest of the story too. How not everyone was as bad as they came across initially and how every little side story got an ending.
I liked it.

I've had this on my Kindle for years--6 or 7--so I thought it was about time I read it and all of the others from my earliest bought to my newest.
I liked this for the fact that the abuse wasn't sexual like a lot of books are nowadays. It was hard to read at times the physical abuse Emma went through and I liked Evan and how persistent he was with getting to know her.
I didn't give it more stars because they could have avoided a lot of the pain and heartache if they'd only told the truth. About everything. And to anyone who'd listen.
I'm not sure I'll be finishing the series.

Some impactful imagery
To break, broke, broken
This film is so many things. Sad, darkly beautiful, surreal, humorous, grotesque... I could go on. It’s certainly a lot to take in and a lot to consider. Some moments so visceral it’s painful to watch. With its commentary on humanity and society and its impactful imagery it is a film I will not soon forget.
If it weren't for the probably unsimulated animal cruelty depicted in the film I would give it a fairly high score. If you can endure that there are moments of the film worth seeing. But I don’t blame a person for steering clear of it.

Aiyana is intrigued by an attack that has happened on a chemical company so goes to investigate, gets a bit spooked but gets something to look further into to discover what has caused the attacks. Then the building she works in is attacked. That is only the start of the adventure!
I found this story took me a bit to get into, but once I got there I was able to wiz through it quite quickly. There is a lot of action from the get-go and a lot of cool characters.
The seem like they should belong to one of the 2 major graphic novel producers. Extremely intriguing.
Definitely recommend you read this

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This story tells the tale of poor Tom and how has been recruited by Unit 13, the bureau of a paranormal detective agency. He's been happy with his desk job, but when one of his colleagues goes on maternity leave, he's thrown into the field and he doesn't have a lot of experience.
This book was an absolute howl. It's a paranormal book with a lot of humour thrown in. I really enjoyed the take that Dan has taken on it and delivered. The style very much reminded me of Terry Pratchett. I'm looking forward to reading more.
