This is a fairly short book but it is impactful with plenty of tension. It’s got suspense, lots of beautifully written character development, and a good dose of originality – a great read!

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Twins Virgins in Books
Jan 18, 2018
A little erotic story involving twins losing their virginity. The overall story was steamy but some parts seemed silly and took away from the overall experience. I don't have a twin, so I am not sure I would understand. It read like a short story one would read on literotica, though.

Overall, this was a great read. Some parts were completely terrible while others were absolutely fantastic. I would only reread parts of this novel as certain stories are better than the others but all in all, it’s a 4 star read.

Only when I finished this short-story did I realise that I was holding my breath. It was one of those stories that made things hit home...how messed up society is. It was so effective that it changed my whole mood, I was disgusted. I highly recommend that people should read this, it's very short but very effective. I knocked one star off because it was so short, it had potential to be so much more.

Upon starting to read this short story, I thought the concept was brilliant. Over-population. Orbital farming. Reducing methane and therefore greenhouse gases. Genius. As a scientist this appealed to me. But just as it started to get juicy, some underhand dealings, it ended. If this were a first chapter, I would be loving this book. But as it is a short story, it felt unfinished and left me disappointed.

I really don't know what to think about this collection of short stories. This is the first book by Flannery O'Connor that I have ever read and I just don't know.
These short stories are full of cynicism. I have a feeling that Flannery O'Connor and I would probably get along due to our cynical natures. I enjoyed the book yet I have been left wanting a lot more. I'm not usually a fan of short stories because I want more. I hate how disjointed they are and I tend to just want a novella or novel instead.
Some of the stories I loved and others I just wasn't fully impressed with. All in all, I'm glad that I read this book but I probably will not read anything else by Flannery O'Connor.

Ronnie (304 KP) rated The Case Of The Drowned Pearl in Books

On World Book Day Robin Stevens brings us a short Detective Society story at the seaside. When a famous swimmer shows up dead on the beach smelling of soap, the Detective Society must team up with the Junior Pinkertons to solve the murder and get back to their summer holiday.
I really enjoyed just setting aside a short amount of time to just sit down and read ‘The Case Of The Drowned Pearl’ in one go. It was a nice, short, easy read and it was great getting to see a murder investigated from a new angle, with the chapters alternating between Daisy and Hazel’s perspectives.
I can’t wait to read the next Murder Most Unladylike book, although it will be sad bidding a fond farewell to the Detective Society.
