Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Thrown Out: Stories from Exeter in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Four short stories set in a small, college town in Massachusetts that focus on the characters who live there. I really enjoyed meeting them and look forward to getting to know them better in the novels she is also setting there. NOTE: I was sent this book in exchange for my honest review.

Dana (24 KP) rated Whispers at Moonrise (Shadow Falls, #4) in Books
Mar 23, 2018
As with the previous three novels, I really enjoyed how it was written. The plot development was well thought out and the characters had a good amount of dynamics between them. The ghosts were, like all fo the others, infuriating but interesting. I can't wait to see who this new ghost is and what is going to happen with Kylie.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated House of the Hanging Jade in Books
Feb 21, 2018
House of the Hanging Jade is a suspenseful tale of murder and obsession, all taking place against a beautiful Hawaiian backdrop. Lush descriptions of both the scenery and the food prepared by the protagonist leave you wanting more. Fans of both gothic romance and mystery novels should enjoy this story.

Great Series Opener
The heat between Erica and Blake is great. The plot is similar to 50 Shades, but it kept me on my toes.

Jun 20, 2018
Bird Box is one of the best horror novels I have ever read. I would gladly recommend to any fan of the genre. What made it so terrifying was the psychological aspect, there's so much left to the imagination, which can be a very scary place. I truly think this is the best book I've read so far this year.

I love Karin Slaughter novels and this one did not disappoint!
Her books are gripping, full of emotion and the intensity begins with the opening chapter and doesn’t let go until the end.
This is a stand alone novel and I read it in two sittings.
Thank you NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) in Books
Dec 12, 2018 (Updated Dec 12, 2018)
This is one of those YA novels that I wish I'd have never paid full price for... The premise was predictable, and eye-roll inducing. The one thing I remember is how much I hated the writing.
The movie is actually better than this novel. I suggest skipping the book and just watching the movie with the kid that plays young Han Solo.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura in Books
Jan 30, 2019
One of the earliest official Star Wars tie-in novels, I remember reading this when it first came out in about '94.
What's interesting is how perception changes: at the time, I remember thinking it was one of the best books I'd read, but now (with time behind me) it's not quite as good as I remember. Still worth a read, though!

Ishiguro goes Gaimen
Anyone that read previous Ishiguro novels may be surprised by The Buried Giant a full blown fantasy adventure, buy my goodness is it good. The world is completely immersive as they discover why the world is forgetting everything. I just hope he carries on in this genre.
