Book Divas (227 KP) rated Deep Blue (Waterfire Saga, #1) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I simply loved this book and I found it hard to put it down. I've never really been a mermaid fan but these past few months as I've been discovering new authors I have certainly fallen in love with mer books. This book has just the right amount of drama, action and turmoil and I love that it is cleanly written so that my preteen daughter can read it as well.
I ordered the second book yesterday and I can't wait for it to come in. I loved the story line, the beautiful world building and the characters. It's a must read.

Characters you really fall in love with and root for
I couldn't put this book down.
I wish this book had been around 10 years ago. It is so rare to find a book with such a strong teen female lead that doesn't end up completely centred around teen love/lust. I loved Briar rabbit and the writing was compelling enough to bring me to tears at the more intense parts of the story. It's a great read that I couldn't put down.

I'm glad it was better than I thought it would be
D.C. Should just give Patty Jenkins anything she wants. She made a well thought out blockbuster with heart and brains. I love the world she created for Diana and woukd love to revisit the island. Other than some pacing problems I had, this was the movie that I had hoped it would be. Loved Gal gadot and I am curious to see Diana/WW and her interaction with people of those times.
Pixar do it again!
A very good and enjoyable film that all ages will love. The story sounded odd at first but it's a very cute film. It has a great 10 minute opening which is nearly silent and quite sad for a Pixar film. Once we get to the old guy getting up out of bed and setting off to fulfill a promise it actually becomes quite funny in places. Definitely one all ages will love. Once again the level of detail in the animation is amazing, they seem to set new levels with each new film!

Well developed characters (1 more)
Beautifully written
The boy I love, for me, was an emotional, yet amazing book. I fell in love with it many years ago, when I found myself so engrossed it was near impossible to put down.
While books based around war aren't normally my thing, Marion Husband captures personal struggles, dealing with coming home from combat and a forbidden sexuality in a very classy and believable way.
The story is rich, the characters are three dimensional and you get to see them develop right up until the very end. I highly recommend this.

I love the dragon age series
I love the dragon age series and although I prefer the previoud games, I really enjoyed inquisition. The gameplay is better and the graphics beautiful. I did find it annoying hunting everywhere for quest items and, unfortunately for me, I did not feel the same connection to the characters in inquisition that I did in previous games. I missed that but I still enjoyed it. One of the best fighting fantasy games out. A world rich in lore and history. Can't wait for the next dragon age game.

When I first read the synopsis for the book I had a different idea of what this book was going to be. Instead it surprised me by being different from the Selection. While I enjoyed Con and Bell I did not enjoy the long drawn out awkward romance with Shae. It felt like she was saying she loved him while not showing it.
All in all this was very different than what I was expecting but that made it into it's own story. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a love triangle that turns into true love.
Received an egalley from Netgalley.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Make It Hurt (Texas Bounty, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is a very short read and I only wish it would have been longer. This is a second chance love story. This is the second book in the series. The more I read from this author they better they get. I absolutely loved the character, I fell in love with them from the first page. I read this book in one sitting and was definitely left wanting more. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

compelling story
ingenious puzzle solving
Contains spoilers, click to show
i used to love the old style adventure games like Myst, Riven and Schizm and this definitely reminds me of these. Its a clever concept where a young boy get washed up on an island and sets out to find out what mysteries the island holds. A lot of puzzle solving that involves moving objects, lining them up, jumping, climbing and also collecting items and artifacts. Its a beautifully designed game with haunting music and a wonderful and colourful setting. I love it and i would recommend it to those that like puzzle/adventure games

This was a series that was a spin off of vampire diaries but I feel was so much better. I love the way it ended but not that it ended. This follows the story of the original vampire family and how they became so cruel,also how in a way how they became good again. Thought a little mirical baby names hope, and how in the end why she became an orphan. If you love a good witch, vampire, werewolf fued this is just a must see.
