I found this book by accident and pretty enjoyed it.

The best part of this story are definitely the characters – Finn and Roark. They are quite developed and unquestionably likeable. There are not that many stories about the Unseelie and Roark makes a very interesting hero. Finn is a good match for him. I really like that Roark is to some extend more involved in this relationship than Finn. There is fine dynamics between them.

Still, this story would use some more world development. The world created in the book is pretty interesting, but not as explained as I would like. I’m not really sure that I understand Finn’s powers and their boundaries. Or the Seelie-Unseelie war. These things are pretty unclear to me. Also, maybe it’s just me but the story has this Harry Potter vibe that I didn’t truly enjoyed. I love Harry Potter’s books but I’m not into retellings and there is something about this book that is lacking this freshness and novelty. But this is rather minor thing.

All in all, this is a quite nice story I recommend everyone looking for an easy read.

What can I say, I quit the gazillion of books that I am currently reading because I felt an overwhelming urge to read this book. And I don't even fully understand why.

I mean, I certainly liked the first book in this series, but it's definitely not my beloved series. These are probably not even books that I will come back to, that I will read again and again. And yet, the day before yesterday, I found myself eager to read the next book in this series and abandoned some of the really good books I read and everything I should read for my countless challenges to read this book in one day.

And I'm not disappointed at all. I just don't fully understand what attracted me so much to this, by the way quite good, story. Probably it’s this a bit bizarre heart-warming feeling that you have despite the fact that there are many very difficult and serious topics here - from homophobia to mental health problems.

But I think my decision was even more influenced by characters that are very easy to get attached to. While reading the first book, I really liked all of Kellan's and Chase's friends. I just couldn't wait to read their stories. It's really fun to meet these characters again. Like a return to your good friends that you really value and respect. And I really respect the characters in this series. All men are able to fight for themselves and for what is important to them. And I think it is Remy that best shows what I often miss in other books, that the hero has to get back on his own feet, and not just count on his partner to solve his problems for him.

I have no doubt that I will read another book in this series soon. I'm really looking forward to the Knox and Cullen story.

This story finally made me realize one more thing. That I really hate flashbacks in my books. I never liked them, but now I think I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to lack patience in reading what I'm not fully committed to. In this book I have omitted all flashbacks except the first one, and I feel no remorse at all. On the contrary, I feel that I am finally beginning to fully understand what works for me and what does not.

I found this book on the recommendation list from Goodreads and I was totally allured by the cover. Generally, I am not a fan of both the short stories and the bdsm. But this is how I believe the bdsm should look like in the short form.

First, this is not about the sadist and masochist relationship, there is no pain at all, I mean the physical one. This is about dominance and submission in the sweetest form I have ever read. And it's all about the feelings and emotions, and not about the sex. The sex, also the dominance play, is used to show feelings between the characters. Aaron and Tara fall in love with each other at the first sight, I usually don't like this scheme, but it is somehow right in this story. What comes next is the relationship-building.

I highly recommend this novella for being so different from what we usually get as bdsm.

This is an average story by Sandra Brown, I have read some better ones but this one is not bad.

Paris, the popular late night radio voice, gets a call from Valentino who tells her he is going to kill his ex-girlfriend. Paris calls the police and, to her surprise, her old-time love Dean becomes involved as a police psychologist. They have to catch the killer fast or the girl is going to die.

Most of the story focuses on the suspense and it's good. The intrigue, though sometimes lacking in development or logic, is entertaining. There are several suspects. In the end the killer turns out to be a person I have suspected the most and who I wished was a bad guy. I think I would be mad if he would be just one of the good guys, so it's okay. However, I didn't like the motives behind his actions, they are weak.

The romance part is minor. Dean and Paris used to love each other and even though she is not eager to come back to the old relationship they quite quickly rebuilt the feelings between them. That's okay but I couldn't truly found the passion and love between them.

I wish there is more interaction between Dean and his son since they make an interesting addition to the story.

Those who already read some books by Sandra Brown know what to expect by this one. This is one of those books it's nice to read but you wouldn't remember in a year.

This is my third book by Judith McNaught, and it's the first one that I was actually able to finish. However, I must admit that I skipped some pages through the first half of the book.

The whole story is generally less annoying than the previous two books I have read - [b:Paradise|16006|Paradise (Second Opportunities, #1)|Judith McNaught|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1386921972l/16006._SY75_.jpg|967548] and [b:Something Wonderful|129616|Something Wonderful (Sequels, #2)|Judith McNaught|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1435634530l/129616._SY75_.jpg|124838]. I found the heroines in those books silly and immature. Jennifer, despite being young, is not as stupid. And Royce is not as much of an alpha caveman as some other heroes. I can't say I really liked them, but they didn't drive me mad.

The plot is passable but totally forgettable; it's just another historical romance that I won't remember in a month or so. As I already mentioned, the first half of the story is not as good, and I was skipping without consequences. Also, I have the impression that I have already read some books quite like this one, and some scenes look familiar.

Still, I'm positively surprised that I found a book from Judith McNaught that I was able to read till the end. I will probably give this author another chance.

Usually, I avoid young adult stories, but I read the first book in this series and liked it enough to give this one a try. Unfortunately,

Frostbite is not as good as [b:Vampire Academy|345627|Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1)|Richelle Mead|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1361098973l/345627._SY75_.jpg|335933], so I'm pretty disappointed.

What I liked about [b:Vampire Academy|345627|Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1)|Richelle Mead|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1361098973l/345627._SY75_.jpg|335933] is the interesting, well-developed world and the fact that it didn't feel like a young adult story. Unfortunately,

Frostbite is definitely more immature. The main plot centers around Rose's feelings about Dimitri and Mason, her being jealous and unable to decide what to do. The story feels quite teenage. I preferred the first book with its suspenseful part and freshness. This one is just another book.

The only good part is the ending.

I was afraid that it would be one of those series in which the main couple splits up for a few tomes. I'm glad they don't, even though they are not together.

I don't feel like reading the next book. Maybe one day, if I need it for some challenge, but not now.

A great addition to this series.

Someone has been shooting at people in the Malibu Creek State Park area for a long time, but the whole thing is being swept under the rug as Park officials don't want citizens to be scared and stop bringing profits for the Park. Duncan, Eve Ronin’s partner, once conducted an investigation. Now that the last few days are left before his end of service and retirement, he and Eve Ronin must sort this out. Meanwhile, the threat escalated and the woman was shot.

As with the rest of the books in this series, we will find some really good plot in this one. Eve and Duncan must lead an investigation where no one, including their superiors, wants to help them, while at the same time, everyone is pressing for the investigation to be closed as soon as possible. Untrustworthy witnesses make the work of our main characters even more difficult, the shooter seems to continue his mission, and the subsequent victims do not make the situation any clearer.

As always, we can also count on an interesting ending when we discover that not everything is what it initially seemed. The stakes are high, of course, and Eve doesn't shy away from the dangers. In the background we also have a TV show that, despite Eve's reluctance, will be based on her life, which introduces some humor to the story.

I like how a close-knit pair is Duncan and Eve, who, while an unlikely pair of allies, actually get along very well and work really well together. Watching them work together is so nice.

I can't wait to see what else happens in this series.

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I don't usually like to read the second book in the MM series if the main characters are the same guys as in the first book. Usually that means tons of irritating drama and relationship problems. But while that was partially true in this case, I was fine with it.

Maybe because the potential problems that Ryan and John's new relationship have to face are quite expected. And there's really no exaggerated drama in all of this. There is, however, a real life where not everything is going smoothly. And John and Ryan have to face all these problems.

Fortunately, they do it together, and there aren't many scenes here where they argue about some stupid, unimportant things. Generally, I like how they deal with problems. I think all these difficulties allow them to build a strong relationship. And now, they are confident that they can rely on each other. I like how mature they approach all problems and how they supported each other.

There is something about Ryan and John's relationship that really warms your heart. I guess the point is how strong their relationship is. They both always let the other one solve his problems on his own, but at the same time they are there for each other.

It was a very good second book in this series. Nice read.

It is such a good instalment to the series. I absolutely loved the first book but the second is probably even better.

I felt in love with William when I was reading the first book [b:On the Edge|6329547|On the Edge (The Edge, #1)|Ilona Andrews|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1307445575s/6329547.jpg|6515186]. Ilona Andrews is great at creating her characters. William could be just another tortured hero but he is so much more while being completely unique and one-of-a-kind. And Cerise completes him perfectly. Again, Ilona Andrews is really good at making her heroines strong and brave and totally capable of caring about themselves and who they love. And the secondary characters make everything even better, especially the children.

I also liked the plot, it is full of action without being ridiculous. The first interaction between Cerise and William on the boat make me smile. It was a great fun to watch how they start to like and trust each other.

It was a very entertaining read that kept long at night. I'm giving it 4.5 star.

This book is rather on the edge of my comfort zone. I don’t do many modern classics and I generally avoid stories about mentally disturbed people or people struggling with their life since I find them too depressing.

That being said, I really enjoyed

The Bell Jar. Esther is a very complicated and fascinating heroine. Strangely easy to attach to, even though she lives in a different era and her problems are not really close to mine. Oddly, I found myself truly caring about her.

Also, despite some somber topics like suicides, metal hospital treatment and depression, I didn’t find the book depressing. There were times when I was turning the pages with anticipation eager to know what’s next and that surprised me.

The writing is, of course, excellent. The story has that profound wisdom without being cheaply pathetic. It’s easy to relate to some of the truths in the book. I’m so glad I read this story!
