Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2097 KP) rated As Dog is My Witness (Aaron Tucker Mystery #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Aaron is asked to clear a young man with Asperger Syndrome, he can't say no. The police do have a pretty compelling case, can Aaron prove he is innocent? The sub-plots threaten to take over at times, but the humor and characters kept me quickly turning pages.

Necessarily Disturbing
Truly an amazing piece of work. The writing and acting were absolutely tremendous meaning the viewer really could feel as well as see what it must have been like to live through this horrific incident and the continuing consequences. I knew very little about the accident and it really does allow you to feel that you have been given the opportunity to witness history for good as well as bad. A must watch.

Paul T (21 KP) rated Deception: Murder in Hong Kong in Tabletop Games
Sep 2, 2019
Hidden roles (4 more)
Quick playtime & set up
More players are better
Easy rules to teach and learn
Tons of replayability
Can be frustrating for those who aren't into bluffing (1 more)
May need to reset if someone talks during set up.
Great social deduction game with a theme that matches perfectly. All of the different roles and cards included in just the base game gives a ton of replayability! Fast paced and discussion start right away unlike some social deduction games where you have to wait a round or two before key information is given. Only downsides I've had with this game are one... having to reassign the hidden roles 4 times in a row before the round started because I was teaching to a new group of 6 players and someone would talk or say okay to confirm their hidden role during the clue and means selection phase or the witness phase. Most games this would be an issue however, everyone got a huge laugh out of it and eventually the game continued as normal. The other issue ive run into is when you play with smaller groups AND the witness role, the witness will sometimes stop the game mid round because the investigators all used their badges/guesses and lost. Regardless of those things I've had only positive experiences with deception murder in hong kong and used it to replace resistance, mysterium, and secret hitler. A must have to any collection and if you enjoy it look for the undercover allies expansion!

Book Divas (227 KP) rated Queen of Tomorrow (Stolen Empire, #2) in Books
Dec 12, 2017 (Updated Dec 12, 2017)
The story just gets better and better and I loved this book even more than the first as it takes us further into the future as Catherine is now married to Peter and we witness more of her suffering. I was immediately swept away by the intrigue and romance. Well written plot with superbly developed characters that seem larger than life. I cannot wait to get ensnared in the third book. I highly recommend this author's books.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2097 KP) rated Say Goodbye in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Gary Kellerman gets involved in a mystery when his neighbor dies in a car accident. To complicate matters, he can't hide his attraction to the only witness. Good story, likeable characters. However, I found the romantic sub-plot moved too fast for me to buy and I never got used to the writing style.

A great ending to a great series. More to come soon...
I really enjoyed the ending to this book. I wish I could get what happens after all of this though! The mystery of it was in a good balance to the answers we are given, the plot moved quickly, and it didn't drag on for unnecessary lengths. The characters, as always, were well developed and their relationships were fun to witness. I highly recommend this series.
