Jessica (2 KP) rated I Am Legend in Books
Dec 31, 2018
Thankfully, nothing like the film. I Am Legend is a really different look at the end of the world, vampire apocalypse angle. Very short book, slow in parts but overall worth the read. Loved the development of the characters and the unusual plot.

Too short
Quick and easy read. It provided a new perspective on Native life and the life of someone who suffers from mental illness. It really expanded my knowledge and such an underrated and underrepresented topic.

this book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed this book, the characters were fab and the story was well written. this book is definitely a sweet read but it is a short one, leaving you wanting more at the end. the ending is fab and the book ends perfectly

I really enjoyed this book and read it in a very short space of time. It was interesting hearing the minutiae of how he performed his heists.
He was very woman obsessed though. It reads very 60's sexist but otherwise a fun read!

I was so happy to read Martin Shorts story. But his story was definitely not as happy as I assumed it was. Why are comedians always so troubled??
Not that this makes it a depressing read, it's extremely interesting, very funny at times, and I learned a lot about Martin and Hollywood as well!
So glad to still have great comedic minds like Mr. Short alive and well and making us laugh. A very interesting bio well worth the read.

4 shiny stars!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
A magpie is hired to steal from a dragon's hoard. What could possibly go wrong??
Short! So very VERY short! That's my overwhelming thought on finishing this book, I wish it were longer.
It's told mostly from Chester, the magpie's point of view, but Michal, the dragon who hires Chester, gets some say, just not enough for my liking!
It's not overly complicated, nor is it explicit nor violent. It's well told, and well delivered. Some more could have been made of the feud between Michal and his brother James.
It was just too bloody short!
BUT!!!
I DID enjoy it, spending an hour sitting out in the sun on my day off. It's the first I've read of this author, but now she is firmly on my radar, my wish list is a little longer and hopefully I'll be able to read more soon.
Because I LIKED the way she tells her tales, and I LIKED that we get a magpie shifter, because I have never read a magpie shifter! And ya'll know I love them different!
So, because I found it too short ( I did NOT know it was a short going in!) and because I wanted more Michal...
4 shiny stars (because magpies love shiny things!)

A Wolf's Love: A Paranormal Romance Short Read (Flame #5.5) by Caris Roane
A Wolf's Love is a short story addition to the Flame series. Cole and Lauren were together, until Lauren did something that Cole couldn't accept, and he called it off. However, when a teenager is kidnapped, Cole is the one that Lauren turns to, even though he refuses to help (at first). What follows is the two of them putting another's needs before their own, and working together to save her.
As with all Caris Roane's books, this is very well-written. It may only be a short story, but a full story is here. Nothing has been skimped on, instead you can settle in for a very good read. Personally, I would recommend that you start at book one, just to get the full enjoyment of the world of the Flame, but it isn't fully necessary. You 'could' read them in any order and as a standalone, but I do feel that you would miss something out of this well-developed world. With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I can highly recommend this short story.
