Lindsay (1793 KP) rated Twice a Bride (The Sinclair Sisters of Cripple Creek, #4) in Books
Feb 15, 2018
This is fourth of the series and I loved it every much. This book deals with Sinclair's sister father and Willow. Mrs. Hattie is also involved as well. The sisters all face different things in the book.
You learn about Ida and Tucker Raines a bit about them. You lean about each of the Sinclair sisters or about their family. This book is mostly about Harlan Sinclair and Mrs. Hattie, mostly about Willow Peterson as well. Tucker's sister.
The book is about two widows and a second chance at love. There are other surprises though out the book. I really enjoyed this book along the with the series. Now understand that I have yet to read the first two books in this series. I read and own the last two books. Those books are called "The Bride That Wore Blue", "Twice the Bride".

lurkykitty (3 KP) rated The Fowl Twins in Books
Mar 26, 2020
Fun, fast-paced and funny
have never read the original Artemis Fowl books but now I absolutely intend to. The Fowl Twins is highly enjoyable, even if, like me, you have never read the Artemis books. The action is fast-paced and grabs the reader right away. The personalities of the twins are very different and highly engaging. There is a constant funny banter between them. There are a lot of moving parts: a villainous nobleman, a nasty nun, a fairy who is called a pixel (pixie/elf hybrid) and a small but highly destructive troll. Artemis also plays an advisor role from outer space. I really liked Lazuli, the Pixel. The action, pacing and clever gadgets remind me of the James Bond stories, but this book is age appropriate, of course. It seems that Mr. Colfer is a very imaginative fellow.

ClareR (6062 KP) rated Hag: : Forgotten Folktales Retold in Books
Mar 13, 2022
I’m a huge fan of fairytales, so I was all over this collection of updated versions of local tales. I hadn’t heard of most of them, and I’d be hard-pressed to choose a favourite (but I do like the mermaids and selkies!).
What I especially liked about this collection, is that at the back of the book are all the original stories. So I could read the original before the updated version. It was so interesting to see how the authors updated them.
There are some phenomenal authors here. I’ve already read other books by Daisy Johnson, Naomi Booth and Kirsty Logan, have some of the others on my TBR, and now I can add some others to that list. This is one of the best things about reading anthologies: new to me authors!
So yes, I’d recommend this!

David McK (3692 KP) rated The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon #6) in Books
Dec 21, 2025
I think the last Dan Brown book I read was Origin, back in 2017, whilst I was on vacation in the setting of said book (Barcelona).
By coincidence, that was also the prior book in his Robert Langdon series that consists of , in order: Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, Origin and now this, all following Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon who seems to have an amazing and uncanny knack for finding himself caught up in the throes of various mysteries!
This time, the main setting is Prague (been there), with the novel - in particular - focusing heavily on the legend of the Golem of said city, and with it positing the question "where does the conscious mind reside? In the body, or somewhere outside?"
If you've read any of the previous novels, you'll know what to expect of this!

Merissa (13742 KP) rated A Daddy for Christmas: Ever in Books
Nov 14, 2023
EVER is the first book in the multi-author A Daddy for Christmas series I have read, and it's sweet and low angst. If that's what you're looking for, you've found it.
Ever is by himself, not knowing who he really is. His last boyfriend made fun of him for liking teddies, so he now tries to hide that part of him. Birch is a daddy who has suffered a painful family loss and isn't interested in being with anyone. Up until he hears Ever's voice, that is.
These two are just so cute - both of them listening and communicating for the most part. I have to admit, my favourite Daddy is the Caretaker Daddy and this was written brilliantly.
A gentle seasonal story that I thoroughly enjoyed and hope to read more in this series. Definitely recommended by me.

Merissa (13742 KP) rated Fixer: a Hidden Wolves prequel in Books
Nov 11, 2025
FIXER is a prequel novella in the Hidden Wolves series and features Wade and Dustin. Wade thinks Dustin killed his little brother, so please forgive him for not being too happy when he sees Dustin for the first time in seven years, and outside his window, of all places. Dustin didn't kill Shawn, but couldn't tell Wade, or the Alpha would have found out.
This is their story of how they come to be together, in a world where they're still not supposed to be! I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but am now curious to know what happens. It made a real change to read a book where two wolves who are mates felt absolutely no pressure to have a bond.
A great introduction for a new reader and definitely recommended by me.

Merissa (13742 KP) rated Need You Now (Love's Paradise Series #1) in Books
Nov 10, 2017
Need You Now (Love's Paradise Series #1) by Dei Araujo
Need You Now is a romantic suspense story that involves the kidnapping of a child. The story moves along smoothly enough, and I really enjoyed the moments with Keyon. I have to say that the male characters in this book had a better depth and believability (yes, I know that's not a real word!) than the females one did. Amaranth had her moments, but she would insist on ignoring the advice/warnings of the professional, and rush headlong into danger. And Cassia was a one-dimensional character who didn't do much to the story and quickly disappeared from working with Nick to being with Roberto.
The story was a good one, and like I said, Keyon stole every scene he was in. The pacing was smooth, and there were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow. With an easy-going writing style, this is a book to read if you don't want anything too deep, but will keep you turning the pages. I did enjoy it, and would read more by this author.

harsh scenes (6 more)
pretty predictable
annoying
some overall stupid things
LISTEN TO YOUR DAMN TAPE CLAY
was pretty slow
overly dramatic
Welcome to your tape
Now normally i do not watch a show if i know there is a book about it. i HAVE to read the book first but i choose to watch the show for the hell of it.
So this show is seriously overly dramatic with the hole highschool stuff. Yea they got some right but man some of it i literally had to skip through because i was just so annoyed at it.
One part i liked was the
" welcome to your tape" -- that will never get old for me
yea people may not like that i find that funny but hey everyone has there own opinion.
when the really bad stuff happened.. i couldn't watch it, it broke my heart. Coming from someone who has experienced stuff similar it brought up bad mojo.
I understand this is to warn people about suicide but how the hell is making tapes and having the people who did not help you get out of it learn from this?
stop looking for people to save you and save yourself

BookInspector (124 KP) rated Buddies, Bullies, and Baseball in Books
Jan 26, 2021
The protagonist of this book is Jack, and the story is told from his perspective. Jack is a fifth-grade student, who has great friends and loves baseball. I liked Jack, he is a cute and very intelligent young boy. Jack shares his tricks in avoiding the bullies, and his general daily routine. This book is very simplistic and the whole plot can be quite relatable to any schoolboy out there. It discusses home works, friendships, and baseball. I didn’t see many adventures or twits and turns in this book, it is written in simple and easy to understand language, suitable for children. The chapters are pretty short, and the ending rounded up this story pretty nicely.
To conclude, it is an important book, and I do recommend it for children to read. As an adult, I found this book not very entertaining and quite boring. I think children would enjoy it more because they would see themselves in Jack and could relate on some level. I do see the marketing and pricing issues with this book and I highlighted that to the publisher. For now, it is free on Kindle Unlimited, so please offer it to your kids, it is quite educational and might help someone.
