The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Flowers in December (Flowers in December #1) in Books

Although Suen writes very nicely, I think she needs to work on the old "show, don't tell" part of her writing. Her protagonist Conner seems like a nice enough person, but overall, he's pretty bland, and I really felt that there were things that didn't fit well. Grief is a powerful emotion, and I felt that while reading this, that Suen held back and didn't let all of the emotions into the character or the story. Plus, there's a twist in the end that simply doesn't make sense. This could be a really lovely book, but I'm afraid it fell short for me. Sorry!

A mother of three hires a night nanny to help with her newborn.



Firstly, I'd like to say how impressed I am that the twist of this wasn't spoilt in anything that I saw before going to the film. I was pleasantly (?) surprised by it.

Tully was an interesting film, slightly awkward and quite emotional. It's a fairly niche movie though, and I can't see it appealing to a very large group of people.

I'm struggling to find a lot to say about this one. Definitely not an indication that I didn't like it, as is sometimes the case for my silence. It's just very difficult to sum it up.

Amazing artwork (2 more)
Horror based storyline
Great plot twists
Only one volume in the series (so far) (1 more)
The story leaves you on a cliffhanger but doesn't follow up with another installment
A great horror graphic novel.
It's a brilliant horror based storyline with a great twist on tradition witches (wytches). The artwork is dark enough to really add power to the story it accompanies.
Unfortunately though, the story leaves you on a cliffhanger which I would have loved if I knew there were going to be another installment to follow up on it.
Still, it's a great read and certainly one to add to the collection if you're a horror fan.

This book just made me cry and laugh and cry! I have to admit though I gave up on it the first time! I got 50 pages in and just did not have any desire to pick it back up again. Thank god I did! It was many months later but I told myself I must keep going! Just wow, I loved it, the characters were so very well written and their relationships are just magical. There is such a twist in the story which I won't mention, but I didn't see that coming at all. I just loved it, I have given it 4 stars because of the slow start!
