The Roth Homestead (32 KP) rated Marked (House Of Night #1) in Books
Aug 22, 2018
Grabbed my attention from the get go.
I've always had a strange fascination with vampires so when I found this book I was super excited. The story of Zoey Redbird and her learning how to be different while still trying to remain normal was very interesting to me. It's been a while since ive read it but I love the danger and adventures she goes on. I always felt like I related to her, being a sort of outcast in school and only having a small group of really close friends. I definitely recommend this series!
Roxanne (13 KP) rated Peppa Pig: Peppa's Magical Unicorn in Books
Nov 14, 2018
My daughter loves both Unicorns and Peppa Pig so I thought this would be a great one to get from the library. It's a great little story and the book itself is just stunning to look at. The front cover is a beautiful blue and is covered in glitter, the artwork is very good and the story itself is cute and well written. My 3 year old does have a bit of a short attention span when it comes to books which are a bit wordy so I might re-visit this one again when she's a bit older. Highly recommended for children who love Unicorns and Peppa Pig.

Quick Read
* I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
This book is written in a style that reminds me of old gothic literature. I felt much the same way reading it as I felt when I read a Rose for Emily back in high school. The story is dark and disturbing, and you can't help but wonder what happens next. Some parts were a bit confusing, but everything is explained in the end. Really it was an pretty good book, the material was just heavier than what I normally enjoy. I do think fans of this style will love the story.

Merissa (13154 KP) rated The Witching Pen (The Witching Pen Novellas, #1) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
This is the full length story of Elena and Karl and it starts when Karl is 27. For a long time, Elena and Karl have kept their relationship purely platonic due to circumstances "beyond their control" but things are about to change.
This story is full of action, romance, drama and suspense. You find out little snippets as you read along and the characters are built up. There is no insta-love in this book, just a deep and true friendship that could always have been something more if things had been different.
Absolutely brilliant and an ending which definitely makes you reach for the next book in the series!

Beautiful story
Contains spoilers, click to show
A lovely tale of love, loss and recovery. The story follows Lauras pursuit to fulfil a friend's dying wish while dealing with her own past and learning to trust in herself and others again.
It's a delightful little read with lots of mini tales written by one of the characters about the 'lost things' he has collected over the years.
I truly enjoyed the idea that all the little things that get misplaced over the years have been collected and are just waiting to be reunited with thier owner.
However the idea of the ghost in the house spoiled it slightly

The Greater Good
Saw VI- im sad that im almost done with the frachise, i would want to rewatch it again sometime soon in the near future. Like i said in prevous reviews- i love the story line, the twist and turns throughtout the story line, the charcters and the endings.
The Plot: With Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) still directing events from beyond the grave, Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) emerges as the heir to the killer's twisted legacy. But as the FBI closes in, Hoffman sets in motion a game that is designed to reveal Jigsaw's grand scheme.
A must watch franchise, if you havent seen it yet.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Captain Marvel, Volume 2: Stay Fly in Books
Jul 31, 2019
Decent but not for me
I get that I am not the target market for this incarnation of Captain Marvel. This collection is split roughly in three. The story surrounding Chewie, with Rocket, was good, funny and well written. The second story, trying to save a rock star from an arranged marriage, was tedious drivel (similar to volume 1's Phantom Menace trade negotiations rubbish), and the third was slightly more what I would have expected from Marvel, a villain's attempt to take over New York.
A good collection for a character that some might really love, but definitely not my cup of tea.
