Merissa (11961 KP) rated Teak's Second Start (Itayu Lake, #7) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

Teak's Second Start tells the story of how Teak, an arctic fox shifter, escapes from his possessive boyfriend, who not only has a wife already, but turns out to be part of the Hunters. Teak moves to Spirit Valley where he hopes his new life can begin. He receives a shock though when not only does he meet his mate, but his ex follows him and soon causes all sorts of trouble.

These Itáyu Lake novellas are the perfect, quick, read for a sunny afternoon. The writing and pace is smooth, with no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow. Although you receive a small benefit to reading the prior books, it in no way affects this story if you haven't. Short, sweet, and sexy. Definitely recommended by me.

David McK (3372 KP) rated The Code of the Woosters (Jeeves, #7) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

I think everyone should have a Jeeves in their life.

This is the one in which Berie Wooster is duped/blackmailed by his 'good and deserving' Aunt Dahlia into travelling and staying at Totleigh Towers, all in pursuit of an 18th century Cow-creamer that she wants her husband to sucessfully purchase (for reasons that are to complicated to go into here), and that sees Bertie's friends Gussie Fink-Nottle, the rev Harold 'stinker' Pinker fall into and out of favour with their respective (and prospective) other half's - one of whom (Madeline Bassett) believes Bertie Wooster to be madly and deeply in love with her.

Throw in the would-be fascist Dictator Roderick Spode, and the fact that Sir Watkyn Bassett (who owns Totleigh Towers) believes Bertie Wooster to be a kleptomaniac, and we have all the necessary ingredients for another convoluted set of scenarios, which only Jeeves is able to unravel to everybody's satisfaction.

Awful MC

Deaf Child Crossing is a middle grade read that tells the story of two nine year old girls. Megan is deaf, and Cindy is the new girl that just moved in to her neighborhood.
I liked Cindy she was a realistic, and tried her best to be a good friend. Unfortunately Megan was the main focus of the book, and she was awful. I will say she was technically realistic just now very likeable. She treats Cindy horribly through most of the book, but it gets played off because Megan is working through stuff. I know this happens in real life but I hate seeing it in literature. It is not okay to treat people like crap just because you are going through something!
I know this book gets a lot of applause for having a deaf character, but I really feel like there has to be better books available.
