Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Fallen Crest High (Fallen Crest High, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2021
3.5 stars.
There's something about Tijan's books that leaves me wondering what I've just read. The same thing happened with Broken & Screwed 1 and 2.
That's not to say that's a bad thing. I did like this. There was just so much going on and people getting together with everyone that I kind of lost the plot a little.
Then the Mason and Sam thing just kind of appeared between one page and the next, it might not have done but that's how it seemed to me. They did make quite a nice couple but I didn't quite get Mason a lot of the time.
Logan on the other hand, I loved. He's crazy but he's loyal and protective of his family.
As for everyone else...well, they're kinda not important. Not in the grand scheme of the book. Though I grew to like Nate too.
I guess I'll have to continue the series to find out what will happen next now, too.

Yeah, I've decided I don't like MC (motocycle club) books too much. I don't get the concept of them and some of their rules just pee me off.
What the hell's up with this one?
A guy who--in her own words--says 'she didn't realise he had ever noticed her' suddenly goes all dark and brooding on her one night, drags her upstairs and starts kissing/touching her and she just lets him? When she's a virgin? Really? Cos I'm not buying it.
He then orders her to come to terms with his interest in her and that she's now his and she just rolls with it?
If I'm going to read and enjoy a MC book I need a kick arse, smart-alec who gives as good as she gets and I'm sorry but--I can't even remember the main characters name :/--she wasn't that for me.
Will not be reading the next books.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated Dagger Hill in Books
Sep 10, 2021
Silent hill for teenagers....Creepy and pretty terrifying.
The potential to be made into a film is definitely lurking there.
The four main characters, teenagers on the threshold of their senior year, are interesting and quirky. Each has a different personality that gels well with the others but doesn't then blend into one boring entity.
Set in 1989, a time before the internet and mobile phones (as we know them now and the actual ability to carry one) Dagger Hill has a small town charm. A charm that contrasts against the awful things that happen there.
This is at least a young adult read with themes of horror and violence. It could easily sit on a shelf with books written by such greats as King and Laymon. It's the kind of book that crawls into your thoughts when you least expect it and creates vivid scenes in your mind.

Merissa (12906 KP) rated Banewolf (Dark Siren, #2) in Books
Apr 19, 2023
Banewolf is the second book in the Dark Siren series and it is a belter! The story continues where Book 1 left off, although Kali has learned a new skill with regard to staying underwater. Rhane and Kali come back together again and life continues. It is hard for Kali to adjust, especially with all the changes and challenges she has faced and continues to face.
There is action aplenty, and the story becomes more intricate as politics now plays a part. Kali is remembering more of her memories of when she was with Rhane in a previous life, and answers become clear on why certain things happened.
An absolutely fantastic continuation that will leave you wanting more... immediately! Brilliant book and series. Highly recommended.

David McK (3562 KP) rated The Witcher - Season 2 in TV
Apr 10, 2022
Not having played any of the games (although I have read some of the earlier books) one of the key problem's with Netflix first season of 'The Witcher', I found, was the way it jumped around timelines with no real clear 'this is set in <period>' shown.
That aspect, thankfully, is almost entirely done away with in the second season which, as a result, means it is far easier to follow just what is going on!
Set in the aftermath of the Battle of Floden field, with Geralt and Ciri now reunited and with Geralt also believing Yennefer to be dead, this season also introduces more members of the group to which he belongs; that is to say, more Witchers.
I found the season overall to be a bit hit and miss: when the episodes were good, they were very good, but when they were bad ... they were bad.
None the less, still interestied to see where this goes!
