Miles the Mouse? Don't make me laugh.
REVENGE IS SWEET is a standalone story about Lyon and Miles. Both of them have trauma in their past and don't trust easily, which makes it even worse when it is someone close to them, whom they trust completely, who breaks whatever relationship they had.

Oh, but I loved this story. I knew from the start Lyon was going to worm his way into my heart, and he did. I knew Miles would too, but not how much. My god, but I loved him. Miles the Mouse indeed. Don't make me laugh. He is as sharp as a rapier and nobody's fool. I loved seeing him grow and shine, with Lyon's full support and admiration.

The less said about Dan and Lindsey, the better. Those two I didn't like all the way through.

Uncle Harry and Maxwell? Let's just say Uncle Harry's story made my eyes leak and leave it at that.

This was a gorgeous, beautiful, heart-warming story that I adored and have no hesitation in recommending. I loved every word.

2017 | Horror
Great Build up but eventually falls flat.
It comes at night was one of those movies I heard about but really had no clue what it was actually about even when I started watching it.
The whole movie has a very tense and almost claustrophobic feel to it as well, I love movies especially horror/suspense movies where you have no idea who you can and can't trust and It comes at night really just takes that vibe and runs with it.

Sadly though the uneasiness and suspense never really paid off for me because the ending I found personally fell really flat and almost anticlimactic.
  
[The Boys of Winter] by [Wayne Coffey] tells of one of the greatest sporting events ever (I will not say THE greatest since the US Women's Soccer team did pretty well this year.) For those of you who think you know everything there is to know about the 1980 Gold Medal 'Miracle' team, trust me you don't and should read this book.

[Coffey] does a great job in telling what made the players and coach tick. The unknown backstory. The flips in the story from telling of the players history or interviews interspersed with telling of the game works very well in this book.

Doesn't work as a stand-alone book
I'm not sure what to make of this book. It's interesting, but it doesn't work as a stand-alone story, and requires having knowledge and plot of previous books.

The best character is Emma, who is an absolute saint of a woman, trying to be an appropriate mother figure to her very distressed and damaged stepdaughter all the while trying to protect her from gangsters. The first half of the book shows the stepdaughter Tasha living in the streets having run away from a perilous situation and attempting to trust people again. It's okay but a little over the top.
