I held off watching Suicide Squad because I wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype. I really liked it and I definitely see why people were obsessed with Harley Quinn! (0 more)
Definitely feel like it was overrated but not by too much, I will say. Felt a sequel is in need as a lot of story left to tell! (0 more)

I didn't have high hopes for this film going into it so I was surprised that I was let down anyways. I found myself literally just not paying attention for minutes at a time and just scrolling through my phone - anything to not have to watch the screen.

I'm sure I would've liked this film as a kid, but definitely not as a 21-year-old. Yikes.

I discovered this book/series right when I needed a good distraction from a really bad breakup. Picking it up, I had no idea it was about vampires, I just liked the front cover. Sure, it's not very well written, it's predictable, and it's kind of lame. But, it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

Awesome
I haven’t played as much of this game as I’d have liked, but it is still such an amazing game. Who hasn’t heard of Skyrim, if you’re reading this and are not sure if you want to play it, stop reading this and go and play it already

I'm not sure what I was expecting out of this book, but it wasn't what I was thinking it was going to be. It was interesting, and I did like it, more or less. I liked it a lot more right after I read it, but thinking back now... It wasn't that great. I'll still definitely read the sequel, because I want to know what happens next, well, and I got the book for $3 at Barnes and Noble.

Not quite what I thought
I'm not sure this was exactly what I thought it was going to be. I expected a lot more humour when seeing the cast but I felt it was quite serious with a deep underlying story. The stories were quite good, I particularly liked he Portland Hotel episode. I felt towards the end it got quite silly and the solution seemed very clipped.

I liked the steam level was perfect for these two!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Miguel and raven find themselves crossing paths when Raven "steals" Miguel's bounty. Miguel is angry at him for that, but it doesn't stop him saving the man's life at another job. Raven calls to his soul.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this book, to be honest. It didn't really push my buttons but there were bits I liked.

I liked that both Raven and Miguel had a say, in the first person. Each change is clearly headed. But doesn't always come at the chapter change. Didn't bother me either way, but some might not like that, so needs mentioning.

I liked the steam level. Granted, it goes without saying I would have liked more steam but I'm not holding that against this book. I liked that the level was perfect for Miguel and Raven, given how Raven was injured early in the book!

I liked, to a point, the Nightcrawler reviews. They were funny, but I didn't read them all. Not sure why, but I skipped them after about half way through. I didn't really see what they added to the story, to be honest.

I LOVED the supporting cast. Miguel's mentor/friends were great, and add in their wider circle who came to help him with that last bounty, and my interest was well and truely piqued. I'm not sure if these guys have stories somewhere, but if they do, I wanna read them!

One last thing, I would have liked some closure on the boob heist 🙂 I'm not sure if I missed what happened to the porn star and her boyfriend, or we didn't find out, but I would have liked to have known what happened to them!

A quick look on shows me I've read a couple of Logan books and they weren't doing anything for me. This one, though, I think is one of the better ones.

3.5 stars but rounded up for the blog to 4 stars.

I'm not sure about this one. I liked some bits, didn't get others--like where the romance came into it. Fair enough they had some nice moments but others they were at each others throats. It made me cry a little near the end but other than that I wasn't entirely pulled into the story.

I liked this but it didn't blow me away. It took a long time for stuff to get going and I'd begun to lose interest just as the pace picked up. It never fully grabbed me but I liked the new take on dragons (draygones) and the Darken family grew on me and in the end I was happy for our clumsy girl to get the hot alien-Dragon-boy-man.

I'm not sure if I'm intrigued enough to buy book 2
