The premise of this novel was very interesting, basing it on the 'fasting girls'. This is the first book I've read by the author, as I have zero interest in ever reading 'Room'. It was nicely paces, and an easy read. I read it in less than 24 hours. Roman Catholicism was portrayed... interestingly. I felt like the main character ragged on it a little too much. But, that's a personal thing.

I absolutely loved this book. I’m usually not a fan of period pieces as they tend to drag on and be boring but the way this book was written I was sucked in from the first page. The attention to detail and the way the author described each character really brought the book alive. This is a great coming of age/witchcraft novel and it’s part of a series that makes it even better!

This graphic novel retelling of the life of the Marchesa, an Italian born noblewoman of the 19th Century whose aim was to become a work of art. The illustrations are good but the narrative feels repetitive and forced in places. The recreation of familiar images will leave you feeling that you know Casini, and well you should, often portrayed with her dark eyes, this is a face you will most likely know.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Tough Luck Hero (Copper Ridge, #5) in Books
May 7, 2019
what a fab read, I really enjoyed it even though I haven't read the many others in the series. the chemistry between the characters is off the charts, setting the pages alight. this author has a fantastic ability to create realistic characters and a well thought out story. this is a very romantic steamy novel which will have you reading long into the night.

While there was nothing wrong with Barrett's style, I set this novel down upon finishing it, feeling that something was slacking. Yes, the erotic scenes, or what few there were, were well-written,and the plot line was interesting enough. And yet, I feel like there something missing from her work, just as I felt with The Viscount's Addiction. I cannot quite place my finger on it, yet it leaves me unfulfilled.

I never really bought into the whole self-help genre, but this book did wonders for me. A shorter novel, this book stays focused and on task the entire time. This book really makes you stop and take a look at yourself and decide what you need to change. You are the only one who can help yourself, though. No one is going to do it for you. This book was a pleasant surprise.

As a fan of Alex Flinn's fairytale re-tellings, especially Beastly, I was anticipating this novel greatly. It was a unique take on the Snow White tale's Queen, Huntsman, Prince and happily ever after. As the story of Snow White is pretty well known, there's not much I can say without giving away how this re-telling decided to approach the story. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy fairy tales and happily ever afters.

Ponderous retelling of the Christie novel.
This update of Agatha Christie's famous whodunnit certainly looks the part, and the who's who cast certainly give it their all. But for all its visual splendour, the film fails to really engage and is let down by plodding pace and bloated run time. Akin to watching a beautiful piece of antique furniture for two and a half hours.

Fabulous.
This is only my second Pamela Clare novel and I’m wondering why. Romantic suspense is my favourite genre and I plainly have some catching up to do. I loved Joaquin’s story and couldn’t wait to pick my kindle back up to continue. I did figure out who the bad guy was early on but that didn’t deter me. It was fast paced with never a dull moment. Can’t wait for the next one.
