Merissa (11734 KP) rated Wait Until Dawn (Southern Spirits #4) in Books
Apr 19, 2023
So Wait Until Dawn is Rich's story. Like many, I assumed he would be getting together with Matt, but that obviously wasn't the case. What I love about Bailey Bradford's stories, is that she leads you one way before giving you a complete about-turn, but it completely works! Carlin is the perfect mate for Matt, and Chris - the gorgeous, pierced pacifist, who looks tough but is a teddy bear - is perfect for Rich.
Rich has been through hell and the start of this book reflects that. This is not for the faint-hearted as the torture that Rich has been living with is described in gruesome detail. Chris is the one person that refuses to take any c**p from Rich. Now, to be fair, this may well be because he is actually face-to-face with him. It is a lot easier to lie to people over the phone when they can't see you. I would have liked his friends to try to reach Rich on a more personal note over the past year, but then if they had, this story wouldn't have gone the way it did.
The ending for this one felt a bit rushed to me, with the actual fight to get McAllister and Trenton out of Rich glossed over. They have been fighting in his body throughout the whole story, causing him to contemplate suicide, but it's all over and done within a paragraph or two, but I still don't really know how.
Apart from that, I loved this book and am very happy now that Rich can start to heal. I did like how he and Matt sorted things out. Definitely recommended and a good, solid addition to this series.

A quirky, poor girl gets assigned to take care of a grumpy, rich quadriplegic. It is a story that has been done MANY times before, except this story includes the author's "CURLED-UP-IN-THE-FLOOR-SOBBING-HYSTERICALLY" spin on the tale.
The story was easy to follow, fast-paced, and interesting. The book was written in first person. However, the author included 4 separate spaced-out chapters from other characters' viewpoints. This definitely made the book more interesting! I listened to the audiobook version, and it was wonderful.

A story that begins as revenge turns into so much more. An original story that takes a look at blood money and the difference between classes. If our blood was the money used to pay for everything. The poor bleed their lives away while the rich stay young for hundreds of years by consuming the blood coins of others.
I have to say I was skeptical but I loved this story. It was so original and the plot was something that kept you guessing until the very end.

Actors performed amazingly
Enthralling season!
One of the best seasons yet, in my opinion. The story-line was rich with subplots that are follow-able if you pay attention. Intricate, delicate plot which was just amazing - kept you guessing. I would recommend people to watch GoT.

Battle Chasers is a great game and great RPG. I love the rich characters and their background. The art style makes this whole experience beautiful. The story,I have not completed it yet, has captured me and I can’t wait to see where it goes

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Marisol: Spanish Rose (Charleston Brides #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
This story was such a unique combination of different cultures and historical facts.
Elva Cobb Martin wrote a story that combines rich Spanish history, travel on the high seas (PIRATES!), the American indentured, murder, romance and God’s will in our lives. The main characters Ethan and Marisol had interesting backstories that made them stronger. They were a cute couple to get to know, although at first, I was not sure where Elva Cobb Martin was taking them. By then end of the book I genuinely liked the characters and felt happy with the conclusion to the story

A gaming masterpiece.
The game was one of the earliest games to be solely on PlayStation 3.
The graphics are absolutely superb for a 2007 game, and it hasn't aged in the 12 years it's been available, still as fresh and fun as the day it was released.
The story is exciting and unexpected, most likely drawing inspiration from the Tomb Raider games, featuring guns, puzzles, a rich bad guy, and a mystery to be solved.

Time isn't on my side
The acting could be way better but the story behind the movie is great. Everyone has a certian amt of time til they die and everything cost seconds,minutes even hours off thier life. The rich can keep on living with more and more while the poor have to earn every second. Time to watch the clock.
