Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2204 KP) rated Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Kyle Keeley isn’t excited about the new library in town until he finds out that Mr. Lemoncello helped design it. It’s got to have plenty of cool stuff if the creator of so many amazing games is behind it. He is thrilled to win an overnight preview, but it turns into a contest the next day when he and the others inside the library learn they are in a contest to figure out puzzles to get out of the library. Can he do it?
I put this book off for too long. The story is fun and I got caught up in the action the further I went into the book. I’m not a puzzle person, but fortunately the characters figure things out for us. (I would be sunk in their position). Plus, I would absolutely love to visit this library. It sounds absolutely amazing.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2204 KP) rated C is for Corpse (Kinsey Millhone #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
While working out at the gym, PI Kinsey Millhone is approached by a young man who was in a horrific accident 10 months ago take took part of his memory. He doesn’t think it was an accident but attempted murder and he wants Kinsey to find out why someone would want to kill him. She just begun when tragedy strikes. Can she solve this 10 month old puzzle?
Another strong entry makes it easy to see why this long running series is so popular. The characters are sharp; in fact, it is a pleasure to see how easily the author creates characters with just a few sentences. The plot moves along well, although I did figure things out a bit before Kinsey did. That’s a minor issue in this enjoyable novel.

Gail (4 KP) rated Pretty Reckless (Addicted Hearts, #1) in Books

Pretty Reckless by Jane Anthony
Five Stars
OMG! Yes this book was amazing. The author really knew how to put her words into emotions that you could feel. I laughed, cried and felt a variety of emotions. I wanted to be a shoulder for them to lean on when life just couldn’t give them a break. Kat was destructive and wild. There wasn’t a moment when I didn’t fear for her. Her change was powerful. Chase was a vast ocean of issues. He gave so much to Kat that I worried he would end up back in that sea of addiction. They were so toxic together. One wanting so much for the other. And the other not knowing what they were worth. Even though their relationship was toxic they were perfect for each other. They were puzzle pieces connected by curves and edges. I really enjoyed this story and the way the author presented these characters to me.

Prey is the sequel to half-life that we'll never get from Valve.
Whether you want to sneak past a Thermal Phantom or atrack a Technopath head-on (which I do not recommend), Prey packs a flexible and versatile gameplay experience with difficulty levels that make you feel like a champion. The maze of Talos is bound to hold dark secrets, tragedies, and ridiculous jokes that will keep you entertained when you're lost for the 18th time.
With a great soundtrack that keeps you on you toes, monsters that scare the living daylights out of you, and that Bethesda charm that causes cups to vibrate (it's definitely more of a feature in this game— you'll see what I mean) Prey is one of the best games of 2017 and deserves some love in 2018.
Mooncrash is a terrifying and equally enrapturing DLC.
