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.

Somehow I forgot how good these books can be. Of course, I could have expected it, since I've read some books in this series before and found them really good. I haven't read the book that far in this series though. And it all surprised me a bit.

Harry Bosch is not a police detective. He is retired and decides to get involved in a case led by his half-brother and other main character from Connelly’s novels - Mickey Haller. I think Connelly did an excellent job of showing how different this investigation was from any other investigation conducted by Bosch when he was still with the police.

It was also my first meeting with Mickey Haller. I haven't read the books in his series so far. But he's an interesting character, even if I'm not sure I like him. But maybe just the dislike for his working methods that Harry has is rubbing onto me. I think I have to try and read one of the books in the Heller series.

The plot is brilliant. There is so much tension here, the stakes are high all the time. There are also a lot of surprising twists. I don't usually like when we get villain POV chapters in my books. But in this case, the author used them skillfully to raise the stakes. I also like how intelligent all these characters are. All of them - Harry, Heller, the villains. Bosch has the opportunity to fully showcase his investigative skills. Following his reasoning and his instincts is great.

For some time now, I haven't been able to find a book that really pulls me in. One that I would not like to stop reading. And it turned out to be exactly the book I was looking for. I have to remember to read Connelly's books more often.

K. J. Charles once again succeeds in the rare art of writing a second book in a series that is as good as the first one.

I like K. J. Charles's books, but I don't consider the first book in this series to be my all-time favorite. And yet, when I started reading this book, I finally felt that I had found exactly the story I am in the mood for. I was waiting for this feeling for quite a time and started to fall into a reading slump. This book has brought back the joy of reading a good story for me.

I'm not a big fan when the story of the relationship of the main characters is divided into several books. And here I think I would also like Will and Kim’s relationship to develop a little faster and with fewer problems. But it was nothing that would bother me in any particular way.

The plot is very good. It is both a continuation of the events in the first book and a completely new story. I admit that I did not remember everything that happened in the previous book, but it was not a problem at all. And if for some reason you've read this book first, it won't spoil your enjoyment of reading the first book in the series. There are some really good twists, the stakes are high all the time and the characters act smart.

The last few chapters, when the whole Zodiac thing is about to end, are really good. They keep you on the edge of the seat. It's also a great example of how well Will and Kim work together, but also where their relationship is at this moment.

I'm really curious now what's going to happen in book three.

This is a book about waiting. You are constantly waiting for some action and then out of sudden the story is over, the end. You pick up tiny bits of plot, hoping that they will eventually lead to some twists and turns that never come. You follow the mind-numbing events in the lives of Diana and Matthew and some other indistinct characters (most of them aren't even important to the plot), all for nothing. If only it isn't such a looooong book.

I just read my review of the previous book in this series and it turns out I generally liked Diana and Matthew. It's funny, because I don't really care about them in this book. And I don't think that they evolve as characters. In the second book, I didn't learn much about them. I find them a bit boring as the main characters.

The author probably made good research on Elizabethan times, as she uses the details about the everyday life back then all around the book. No Diana's dress, no room in a house, no tradition can be left without a lengthy description. I just skipped them at some point while still waiting for some plot to unfold.

The author also completely abandoned the idea of a third-person narrative in Diana's POV. For once it's good and less confusing. But on the other hand, we still know almost nothing about Matthew. This makes it even harder to care for him.

You know those books with those really slow beginnings? Where the first chapters are there just to built the atmosphere and tension, to prepare a base for a real story? Here is the whole book of something like this! And not a short one! As you struggle through all those insignificant events and irrelevant descriptions, you know, you just know that in the end there has to be some great explosion of plot and action. But, unfortunately, it never comes.

I know there is a third book in this series, but after reading this one, I have no intention to read it. I just totally lost my interest in the whole story. I'm rating this book 2.5 stars (goodreads 3 stars for not being as boring as some other 2 stars books I read).

Apparently, I've read this story many years ago. I don't remember a thing. Reading it again was a completely new experience for me. But it's a nice story. Especially for one of the shorter books from Nora Roberts that tend to be rather middling.

And although in a month I will not remember neither the story nor the heroes of this story, I still think they are fine. For a fairly short story, the characters are well-styled and interesting. Even if they are confusingly similar to some of the other Roberts characters. The plot is fine too. It is not unique but interesting enough.

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.

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 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.
