Do you enjoy crime stories? Maybe a bit of true crime but with some fiction. This book "The Silver Shadow" is book eleven in the True Colors series. What a plot this is. There seems to be a mysterious person that keeps hitting women on the head.

We mean you introduced the main two characters—some of the crime that is going on. We meet a mysterious male that wants to teach women their place in the time of the 1900s. The woman is a reporter for the Denver Post. Edwin is the other main character; He works at the Denver Police department.

The more we get into the story or plot. It is more interesting. Polly gets another dressing down from her boss. She still wants this story and to solve these crimes. The detective has to get the runaround, and these bosses seem to think it nothing to be concerned about these crimes. The story is getting more twists and turns. The man shows up once more and remains described as the Silver shadow. Will he be caught?

This book has quite a few twists and turns. Who could be the mysterious Silver Shadow? When will they stop? It is a good book for adults if they want a little history and some crime and a mystery to go along with it. I hope to be able to read more of these True Color series books. I have read a few of them and enjoy them.

Similar to the preceding book of the series, this was a real slog. The action starts to hot up again, with the Spiders starting to show their true colours once more, however the story then moves underwater and slows to a crawl. There is little of this book that adds to the whole series, other than the link between Stenwold and the sea-kinden. You could reasonably safely skip this book and move on with little missed out.

An Adventure awaits
A tail of adventure and intrigue awaits. You follow a story of a journey that leads you far from the only place you have ever known. It is a tale of wonder and sorrow. It starts off slow but really picks up. It has a wonderful ending and shows the true meaning of friendship and loyalty. If you have never read this I would highly recommend it.

Gwendolyn, The Graceful Pig was adorable. The story was sweet, the pigs made you want them to succeed in their goals, and the Russian ballet teacher was true to the core. The illustrations were priceless! And it had a great conclusion. There was a little bit of humor that made it an enjoyable read for young dancers and parents or ballet teachers. Perfect for ages 3-6 for any young dancer with stars in their eyes

Wonderful Casting

Horrorifically Wonderful
I absolutely loved this. As someone who grew up watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch this was a beautifully darker twist to the story. They seemed to truly master the darker side of witchcraft and combine it with the true whimsical nature that comes with the original storyline. I couldn't look away and the season finale only left me wanting more as a anxiously wait in anticipation for the next season.

The magic doesn't quite ring true in this one
This film just doesn't seem to have the magic we've all come to know and love from the Harry Potter Verse. While the cast is great in their roles, the story just falls flat. It's attempts to have too many twists without delivering on any of them

Just as Carrie and Greg might be ready to start a relationship, danger comes to their resort town. First the dishwasher in Carrie's restaurant is murdered, then her waitress starts acting strangely. What's going on? This is more romantic suspense than a true mystery, but I found the story compelling and the climax very suspenseful.

A Wonderful Reimagining
questions readers may have had from the original work. Elizabeth is a dark, yet delightful character who literally "takes care of Victor" to the very end.

We get to meet the monster on a more personal level and information is tied up quite neatly through the existence of two journals. But, no more information shall I reveal lol. Jump in and read for yourself this story of teens true meaning of freedom
