*This is a re-read for me, but my first review of the books*
A stellar novel of angst, suspense, blood sucking and romance when you least expect!
J.R. Ward is a phenomenal story teller. She pulled me from page one, and held me captive with Wrath's angst and pain, and with Mary's confusion and love. These characters weren't just created....they were molded into beautiful creatures of the night, and woven into the story line in just the right way.
This story of pain, unexpected love, sorrow and confusion is one that will sit with the reader long after the last page is turn. The Brotherhood is family now, and I look forward to continuing the journeys of each Brother's love story.
Definitely recommended with the highest of 5 stars!

Lady Georgiana has been ask to host a visiting princess. But trouble seems to follow them wherever they go. And that's before the body shows up. This book is part comedy and part mystery and I thought they were mixed together perfectly.

Amazing end to this incredible story!? I LOVE Tony & Clair... even from book one I found myself just wishing they could find a way and in Convicted, we finally get a happy ending after so much drama and pain. This series ripped my heart out... the connection throughout everything between these two is beautiful. An unbelievable story of true soul mates... HIGHLY recommended!!

This was a really enjoyable saga and Mandanna is a skilled storyteller.
Despite the cultural setting of the book the characters were very real and easy to identify with and Mandanna enabled you to sympathise with each one even amongst their pain and unforgiveness.
Tiger Hills is a great debut novel and I look forward to reading more from Mandanna in the future.

It is a great read. Some moments I even feel her pain as a complicated child:D this book is one of a kind as it deals with real life events in real time. It is just as she felt it at that exact moment. Great connection between smart teenager and Jewish refuge hiding for life.
Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Dare to Be Kind: How Extraordinary Compassion Can Transform Our World in Books
Jun 18, 2018
Dare to Be Kind by Lizzie Velasquez is an inspirational story. Lizzie has a rare skin condition that has subjected her to bullying and being mistreated. this book is about treating others with compassion and how it can transform your heart into a better person which can lead to a better world for us.
Velasquez encourages bravery, hope, kindness, personal resilience, faith in a higher power, and a healthy self-image when confronting one's bullies. She also highlights the need to serve as a good example for one's family, understand a bully's desire to cover their own pain with more pain, finding love and support, and addresses the cruelty of human nature when it encounters situations that it doesn't understand or have empathy toward.
I received this book from Hachette Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
