Book Rating

This is the third entry in the Pip Bartlett series. My eight-year-old daughters loved the entire series and spunky Pip! This book was just as loved as the previous two. Despite all those pesky sea monsters, it made us all want to be at the beach with Pip and Tomas--and maybe even Callie and the triplets! The girls absolutely loved all the amazing magical creatures Maggie and Jackson come up with, especially the spinnerseals!

This series is so wonderful for kids with imaginations and who love animals. It always inspires my girls to come up with their own magical creatures. I love how Pip works to solve her own problems, keeps a positive attitude and open mind, and is always a friend to everyone. These are excellent books!

A good end

So the final series as we now enter 1985. The porn industry is changing with the introduction of VHS and also camcorders available. The prostitution game has changed as well meaning less money for organised crime, drug deals are being done, relationships of the main characters are going in different directions. Street crime has become a problem and the city what to clean up the Deuce to make way for million dollar property investments. The Hiv illness is also rife at the time.
Maybe slightly weaker than the first 2 series and overall not as dramatic in terms of storylines, but still with some big surprises. If you have invested in the first 2 series it's worth watching this to see how it turns out for the characters.

I was really unimpressed by this story. I've read several of the authors Love & Decay series and loved those but this?

I like the idea behind it but it took forever for us to know what she was despite the series title and it just didnt work for me.

A lot of things are repeated: She hates her "curse" as she calls it. She wants her inheritance so she can run away and disappear forever. She will never be like the others in her group. ETC.

The above things were rehashed so many times that i started getting bored, which is probably why it took me 4 days to read this. Even her kinda-romance with Ryder couldn't make me like this.

I won't be continuing the series

Russian madness

I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in this series of Peaky Blinders. Whilst it’s as violent as ever, the storyline appears to have gone a little off the rails. The whole plot regarding the Russians is just completely bonkers and rather confusing, and by the end of the series the Russians had become a massive irritation and I couldn’t wait to see the back of them. Don’t get me wrong, the rest of the series was still rather good. A cracking soundtrack as always and some great performances, along with a pretty shocking ending. A great cameo from Paddy Considine and it was nice to see Tom Hardy back again, it’s just a shame the ridiculous Russian storyline had to get in the way.
