Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Epilogue (The Dark Duet, #3) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Hmm...I liked how Caleb "wrote" it as if talking out loud and directly to us at certain points of the story. And it was nice to see how he changed and began to fit in with society instead of being a reclusive so-and-so.
I have to admit I got a bit fed up of all the sex involved in it. I think it's because I got used to the darker bits of the previous two mixed in with a captivating storyline, while this was more just based on their getting over what they'd been through.
Nevertheless it was a good story and I liked it; that alternative ending made me smile. Or maybe it's just the new Caleb/James :D

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Four Doors Down in Books

I enjoyed this...
It just drove me a little mad at the same time. I mean how pig headedly oblivious can you be to the glaringly obvious, Becca? It was pretty obvious that he wanted you to be his from early on but you were so intent on not wanting to be anywhere near him, or talking to him or just anything relating to him. You drove me insane throughout the book so by the time you finally realised your feelings around the 92% mark I was cheering along with all your friends in the epilogue because FINALLY!!!
I've just seen an advert for a second book Four Years Later and I am very intrigued about reading more about their relationship.

Tom Turner (388 KP) rated The Spy Who Came in from the Cold in Books
Apr 30, 2021
I absolutely love this book. After reading the first two le carre novels, which were very much the author finding his feet, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is definitely the man established and in control of his literary voice.
I will admit I struggled mid way through, and without knowing why it's all happening it you could find your mind wandering due to lack of action, - there a lot of chapters that are just two people, and often the same two people, talking. However once you get to the final third all of that makes sense and it becomes a masterpiece. I'm going to take a brief break from Le Carre, but be assured - I'm going to return!!
