Captivated by You (Crossfire, #4)

Book Rating

There was a lot of filler in this book. The story could have been told without the repetitive descriptions of how hot Gideon Cross is or how beautiful Eva is and how they are each so lucky to have the other. With this being the fourth book in the series, I think we've heard this all enough before. We get it, they are two beautiful, messed up people, envied by all around them, desired by all, and they fill the crazy, messed up holes in each others' lives.

Tabletop Game Rating

Beautifully thematic and serious Cooperative Tabletop Experience

At the end of it all, if you’re lucky enough to have pulled off the impossible and taken out Hitler, the rulebook will give you an idea of how many millions of lives could have been saved if history went with the alternate path that your victory provided. It’s a sobering moment after an exciting victory or defeat and serves as a reminder of the gravity of history behind this experience.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2585 KP) rated A Spoonful of Murder (Soup Lover's Mystery, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Lucky Jamieson is trying to figure out what to do with the soup restaurant she inherited from her parents. But when the cook is arrested for murder, she has to figure out who really did it before she loses everything.

I liked the characters and I wanted to like this book. But overall it just felt like it moved very slowly. It needed more clues, red herrings, and twists along the way.

Wonderfully written book, full of emotion in every single sentence.

One of the few that have made me see the world in a different way. I love how the author describes the love she feels for the artist. I love how she describes the way he feels about her. I love how she described the room that they slept in so well, that old mattress...

This is for sure one of the books that you need to have in your library.
Thank you Susan, for sending me this book! I feel lucky to have it!

Just ok

Watched this older movie on Crackle. I'm a Lucky Liu fan so was hoping for a treat. Overall this movie was mediocre, though. Story was ok but could've played out so much better. Several familiar faces, but they couldn't really save this one. The ending was quite anti-climatic. If you REALLY like vampire movies you MIGHT enjoy this one(though I think you'll find a lot of liberties taken). Otherwise, this one is really NOT worth a watch. (Some partial nudity so not for the kids)

David McK (3814 KP) rated Raven: Sons of Thunder (Raven #2) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Direct sequel to "Raven: Blood Eye", "Raven: Sons of Thunder" picks up directly where that previous novel left off.

As appears to be becoming more common, the novel is 'bookended' by the protaganist remembering the events of his youth: in this case, the old Raven retelling the story of what happened after they were betrayed by the Saxon lord Ealdred (at the end of Blood Eye). These events will lead to the Viking fellowship travelling to the centre of Charlemagne's Frankish empire, where their cheiftan Sigurd 'the Lucky' luck may have run out ...
