The Front
By Mandasue Heller
⭐️⭐️⭐️

 
When old school friends Lee, Mal, Ged and Sam decided to make some easy money, nothing could have prepared them for the catalogue of disasters that was soon to follow. Robbing a supermarket should have been an easy job; nothing could possibly go wrong. But it did. With one of them wounded and a dead body on their hands, could matters get any worse? They should have known that a small supermarket on a Manchester estate wouldn't make that much money; they should have known that the aisles of tinned tomatoes and loss leaders was just a cover up for something a lot more dangerous. But they didn't know. They had no idea that as small fish they had unwittingly plunged into a very big pond and were now swimming with the great whites of the criminal underworld. The shop they robbed, their ticket to an easy life, was merely The Front for something very bid indeed.

This book was so frustrating. I was really enjoying it and the build up towards the end was great but then it ended how it did and I was so disappointed with it. It so could have been a 4 star but that ending just wasn’t what I expected.

I would say it was very good, the story line and characters are different and it is nice to have a unique storyline, you have to collect keys in order to complete tasks to progress through the story (there are a lot of similar games with this idea) but at the moment it is getting very boring because the storyline run out a couple of hundred levels ago so I am just collecting stars for what I don't know yet. The good thing is that I don't have to spend money as the levels are not too hard and can be passed after a few tries.

Access to every song in itself library (2 more)
Customizable
Can be free
Depends on if you pay money
Spotify gives you the ability to listen to any song at any time, assuming you aren’t on Free Mobile. The app for the phone is pointless if you don’t have Preminum. You can’t individually pick a song and can literally only shuffle play. However, on computer app and Playstation app, it is a lot more free, all you have to deal with is adds. Spotify Preminum is only really worth it if you are listening to it on your phone, becayse it does give you access to everything.
  
Set a couple of months after the movie ends, Veronica is hired to find a college student who vanished from a party during spring break. With the tourist industry in town losing money, can Veronica find this girl?

The plot was worth of the franchise with some great twists and turns. The characters were also true to themselves, and I loved spending time with them. My only real complaint was that I missed the snark of Veronica's voiceover narration from the TV show and movie.

The Fix for Coup
If you wanted to play Coup with more people, this is for you.

Reformation is a necessary expansion for an already great game. It replaces the Ambassador class, which was the only broken class in the original expansion. It also adds teams, which can be changed on the fly, and add a completely new dynamic to the game.

If it was more money, I would say that this expansion doesn't change enough to be worth it. But for around $10, it is completely worth fixing some of the problems from the original games.

This was a really interesting book. I really liked the fact that the book had some pictures in it. It helps the reader visualize what the character is seeing. The pictures are old vintage photos so it also helped shape the feel of the book too.

I waited a while to read this book because of the price but I will say that this book was worth the money I spent on it. It has fantasy, mystery and a little bit of romance. It shows the struggles of the characters and makes you entranced with the writing.

Ransom Riggs is a very good author and this book was well written.
