this is the first book in the series I've read and I wasn't disappointed, what a fab read. this story has love, loss, discovery and plenty of suspense which will keep you hooked long into the night. I loved the characters and the story was well written. this book can defiantly be read as a stand alone.

A great Spanish ghost story/thriller which I'm sure said it was directed by Guiilermo Del Toro? I saw the trailer and had to see this. It's very creepy at times, largely due to the spooky location. It's a very good story well told and directed. Reminded me of The Others, The 6th sense most of all, so if you like those you'll love this.

Character also named Melanie
Frankly, I do give a damn
This goes in as one of my favorite movies. It tells a great story that has lots of romance but doesn't actually center around a love story. It talks about how a b**** gets what's coming to her. I personally enjoy the character of Melanie but I'm not sure why

This novel was nothing that I was expecting. I just expected another light love story, but this book turned out to be a very enjoyable, often funny read. The fact that it was written as lists was also interesting, because the story really came together, even though the details were in short lists of information. I really had a good time reading this book!

One of the best movies I've ever seen
So if your looking for a great Fantasy movie this is it. It's got lore, epic story, background, action, love, drama, effects, great characters, epic performances, even some nice little comedy thrown in.

Book Favorite

"As a journalist, I was so impressed by how extensively Denise Chong researched this work of nonfiction. This is the story of the young girl who was photographed running naked in horror after her village was napalmed during the war, and who came to symbolize for the world its utter disaster and devastating toll. It is a moving story of love, perseverance and belief."

Very relatable characters. The story was well laid out almost diary like in the characters lives. (0 more)
A good read.
I think every woman can relate to parts of Emma Morley, unrequited love or being passed over as a friend who may say the wrong thing. Dex the cool guy who doesn't recognise what he has. A lovely story and i was sad when i finished it.

I just finished Maggie Shayne's short story, Her Best Enemy, and enjoyed it a lot. Yes, the plot is rushed and I didn't believe they could love each other that soon at the end, but it was a really fun story! I would have liked it better if Ms. Shayne had left them just starting out in their promising relationship and not dropping the L-bomb at the end - it felt too forced and cheesy. But as I said before, it was very fun, and an easy and fast read too! :)
4/5 stars

Someone Else's Shadow was another very good story. I really liked Maddie, and while the love angle was again very fast, but at the end I appreciated that the author addresses how fast they fell in love. As with the first story, the ghost angle was creepy and made the whole atmosphere of the story come alive. The chemistry between Maddie and Phil was palpable and it did make me feel like they could in fact fall in love that fast. A great short story!
4.5/5 stars

Dancers in the Dark was another good tale in this anthology. Rue was a likable protagonist who had a horrible past, and while Sean could have been brought to life (ha!) more, he was still a good hero for her. The plot was well-done and I never got annoyed at Rue for feeling sorry for herself or anything, which can happen in stories similar to this. All-in-all it was a fascinating tale.
4/5 stars

This is another installment in Kendra's story. Kendra is an immortal witch who has a tendency to get involved in everything. This book is the story of her and her beloved weaved in with classic stories that have new twists.
Alex Flinn has an amazing talent. I love how she changes stories and gives them new life. In this book Kendra's story is important, but it's not always the main focus. She never outshines the other characters. Overall this was just a really great book.
