I'm not sure what to think after reading this.

I found it hard to get into this to start with and Quincy's naïve attitude and thoughts really annoyed me at times. As for Brody, I liked him, though his behaviour wasn't always on the plus side. And as for Declan, he was a nice guy but there wasn't really a spark like there was with Brody.

I'm not sure I understood the ending either but oh, well.

To say that I "liked" the story is probably not the best word to use, considering the story. I did like it, for lack of a better term at the moment. It's magical, morbid, sometimes funny, and it definitely makes you think. I enjoyed the originality of the story. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I will say that I wasn't sure what would happen for sure until the end. Night Theater was a short read, but definitely an interesting one. I wasn't sure that I'd like it at first, but there was no reason to put it down. I'm glad I happened to run across this book by chance.

This book was entertaining. It is pure sex. There was not a well developed plot. The sex scenes were deffinitely different. It did read like a porn story though.

I liked the characters and I was excited to see a book featuring a psychology professor who was older. I'm just not sure that all of the sex was necessary but to each their own.

not sure this was for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I will be honest, I don't usually read other reviews before I write mine. But I did here. I wanted to see if anyone else was struggling with what I did. But it appears that what I struggled with, every one else loved and had expected it of this author, who I have not read before.

Let me try to explain.

I could not see where this was going, at all. And that is a good thing. I do like being kept on my toes.

BUT I'm still not sure what actually happened when it all went down! I'm confused by it all, I have no clue what it was about, apart from a witch moving from body to body? Maybe? I'm not entirely sure what Joanna was, either. A vampire maybe? I dunno.

I actually liked that only Alex had a say, I think putting Jago into the mix would have confused me even more. Especially when it becomes (somewhat) clear that Jago is not just Jago, you know??

So, I think, I just didn't get it! But I did finish it, so . .

3 stars

Not a bad book - in the end, it's very slow and politically motivated and also - who cares that much about rugby to have nearly an entire chapter on the subject - I sure as heck dont - if the pace was faster and not such a slow burn I'd have liked it a lot more!

I watched the first half of this season probably eight months ago, and picked it back up last night to finish it. I'm glad I finally did.
I liked the overall feel to this show, it was very discombobulating on purpose and it was very effective. Throughout the show, you don't know if there's going to be a rational explanation to everything, or if there's something alien about the whole thing.
I liked the ambiguous ending, but then I really wanted a resolution, because I'm not sure there will ever be a second season.

I'm not sure what it was about this. The storyline and characters...or how closely it resembled Pride and Prejudice (I'm thinking of the film: the Keira Knightley one since it's the only one I've seen). But I really liked it. In fact I pretty much devoured it

It was definitely a fun young adult, modernised version and I wouldn't mind reading more like this or more books by the author.

I actually couldn't get into this one, which is unusual considering I liked the start of Nick and Spencer's story. I'm not sure what it was about it but I got rather bored and just skipped through bits--mostly the Nick with clients/johns--but also some of the sex scenes, which doesn't really leave much that I did read.

I have been enjoying the series up till now and I will be continuing it at some point.

I liked the storyline--as in the arguments and bickering between our two main characters--and how they finally just came around to the idea of being together. It was rather sweet once it got going.

I just didn't understand the "manties" thing. I know people have fetishes but I'm not sure if it's something that would appeal to me to read about. I found it a little strange.

Nevertheless, I liked the characters. They both wanted the other but misconceptions and behaviour got in the way for the past...ten years or so?

Kerri has done it again! Something about her writing is so addictive, I hated interrupting my reading time for work. I think I liked Hunting Prince Dracula more than I liked Stalking Jack the Ripper, which is great, because sometimes a series tends to go downhill instead of getting better. Honestly, I'm not sure which I'm enjoying more: solving mysteries with Miss Audrey Rose or watching her relationship with Thomas unfold, at an infuriatingly slow pace. I look forward to seeing what's in store for these two!
