Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Shadow Game (GhostWalkers, #1) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
It's taken me forever to read this. I struggled with it from the start. I've drifted from my love of Paranormal Romances into Contemporary Romance and Urban Fantasy Romances so this just seemed too focused on the romance side of things. Sounds strange, I know, considering that's all I read but...I just couldn't get into it.
The writing seemed so old fashioned in the chemistry/romance parts. It was written back in 2003, when I was 12 and I would probably have loved it back then, but I'm now 28 and I prefer a more modern wording to my romances.
I have a few more paperbacks from this series but I'm not in any hurry to read them.

3.5 stars
A fairly quick read. Not too much going on which made it easier to keep up but those last few chapters had me crying like a burst water pipe. I get she's messed up after what she's just been through but he loves you, and I'm pretty sure he's beating himself up mentally as it is. You were such a great couple.
Need to read book 3 now to see if they can rekindle

OLD ENEMIES... NEW CRIMES
Thirty years ago, WPC Florence Lovelady's career was made when she arrested coffin-maker Larry Glassbrook for three shocking murders.
Larry confessed; it was an open and shut case. But now he's dead, and events from the past are repeating themselves.
The town Florence left behind still has many secrets. Will she finally uncover the truth? Or will time run out for her first?
This was a decent read I did enjoy it but it took me a while to read. It wasn’t as gripping as I expected. These poor children it was so heartbreaking and I didn’t really see that ending and I’m normally pretty good at catching the killer. Overall it was a good read!

4.5 stars.
Now this is a YA book that I got sucked in to, which is good after my last two failures.
This is my third book by the author and all of them have had either a 4.5/5 rating. I just love the authors writing and will now be making it a mission to read all of her work. She has now become a "favourite" author and I will be giving her her own shelf.
At the start of this I had no idea how it was going to play out but within those first few chapters I had started to fall for Ryan. He was so charming and nice and persistent in regards to Jamie and I loved it. What else can I say??
I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Alias Grace in Books
Oct 7, 2020
This classic novel of Margaret Atwood is now a televised mini-series, but I really had to read the book before I start watching it. This fascinating historical fiction novel is a psychological profile based on the true story of Grace Marks, the woman convicted of a double homicide in 1843.

I picked up this volume, along with volume 2 when I saw it was the same writer of Atomic Blonde (Coldest City). The volume follows an heiress who is now in the US after fleeing Russia, and she happens to be a mercenary.
Of course, there were some Black Widow vibes, but I really liked it. It was engaging, and a quick read.

As a history nerd, with a degree in history, I can't believe I waited until now to read this book. I think it was deemed 'too new' when I was in high school/college to be included in the curriculum.
The book obviously is about guns, germs, and steel, and compares/contrasts civilizations throughout the world. It was an interesting angle, and I really liked it.
