Too short a story to really form an opinion other than it didn't wow me but was okay.
If I continue reading the other three parts to this story, it's not for the sex scenes as I'm finding them annoying. But the other part of the story has me wondering who it is. I just have to work out if that curiosity is strong enough.
The fourth installmentt to the ‘Darkness' series and it was good to visit the old favourites and to see some new faces. This one continues in the same vein as the first three with the hunt continuing for the genetic manipulation scientists and sorting the good from the bad. I hope there will be another instalment to this series.
This review is for the audio book version. Despite the occasional error (which I suspect is author based, not narrator based), I enjoyed this third instalment to the series. Despite the main character saying she and her sister actually get along, to me we never truly see this. Because Gus is always so abrasive, I find it difficult to like her. There are the odd moment or two but are too few between these three stories so far. Despite that, I am looking forward to the fourth book in the series.
I don't know what I was expecting from this story, but I did like it. It's a tear jerker for those susceptible but do be warned there is foul language used. Worth the read though.
Don't remember how I ended up with this story. I do like the cover and while somewhat what I was expecting, the story was different. Nicely written from an author I've never read before. But, the characters and the story itself didn't appeal to me. Do note that this is just my personal opinion.
Short quick and enjoyable read. I truly liked the characters and the story had me captured and visualising the scenes.
I'm all for a good crime/thriller/suspense story, but I'm finding this one a bit tough to complete. No, it has nothing to do with this being a man' novel. I've read and do own some of them. Ignoring the fact that it seems the editor didn't do their job or the author might not have used one, I can't quite put my finger on why I'm having trouble finishing this book. If I do manage to finish it, I'll add to this review. But for the time being, I'm marking it as completed to get it out of my reading list.
I was given a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review. I had never heard of this author before and was pleasantly surprised by the story. An interesting murder mystery. The characters and the story line were good and well written. I enjoyed the diversity of each character. The book did lose a star for the little errors I kept finding. No matter how hard I try, I can't stop that inner editor. Despite that, I do look forward to reading more by this author.
This review is for the audio book version. Having listened to all five in the series, I have enjoyed them. Apart from Gus, I like the characters; both people and feline alike. I hope there will be more to the series.
Enjoyable read except for the used of the ‘c' word and the lack of extra line breaks when points of view and / or scenes change; hence the low star rating. If not for those points, this would have a higher rating. Other than that, it was good. I look forward to the next book.
An interesting twist to what happens to one when they die. I truly enjoyed this and it would be interesting as a movie and a series I think... If they do it right. I would have given this 5 stars but it needs to have the first person errors corrected to third person to be in line with the rest of the story. I look forward to the next book.
I enjoyed this more than I thought it would and I was already expecting to enjoy it. Well, that was my hope and that hope was exceeded. I loved the storyline and the two main characters and their interaction with each other. The sexual tension between the two was fantastic. I love this sort of erotica; an actual story with sexual tension between the two characters and a bit of sex. Not sex for the sake of having sex in a book. To me, the way it was written was perfect. However, despite thinking the story was too short, I really can't think of it as any longer than it was. With this being the first of this author I have read, I have no idea as to her other books, so it would be nice to revisit these two characters in future stories.
Fantastic read for Halloween!
Leonard D. Hilley II does it again. I was granted the chance to read an advanced copy of this short story. While it is aimed at the YA audience, it's suitable for any age. Right from the start, the atmosphere of autumn and Halloween is set and makes one feel as if they are there. The introductions to the main characters, for me, was believable and different from each other. Four children, two boys and two girls with Dee and Marty being sister and brother.
That's all the spoiler I'm going to give. The scenes at the cemetery had me in suspense wondering what would happen next. Overall, the story has great narratives, good sense of suspense and some funny moments as well.
It's like Lord of the Rings without the excessive wordiness!
Well, that's the way this book seems to me. I couldn't get past the first couple of page of LotR due to its excessive wordiness, but did enjoy the movies. While I read this novel, I couldn't help thinking what a great companion to the LotR series this is; for those who love the high fantasy LotR brings them. Mind you, it is a series in its own right. I fell in love with this series all the way back with Devil's Den, so putting my hand up to receive an ARC in exchange for an honest review was a no-brainer. I love the characters and I love the author's writing style. I loved the diversity of the characters, especially the dwarves. While they may all be treasure obsessed, their motivations and purposes were different to each other. I had this book read in three days, I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book and this series.
This is a review of the audio book version. Fourth in the series and I've enjoyed the series so far. This one was a bit different as it was told predominantly from Pandora's point of view. While interesting, I did miss it being from Willa's POV. For me, the Gus situation is the same though. I'm looking forward to the next book.
When given the chance to read this book before it's release in exchange for a review, I eagerly jumped at the chance. Having read Leonard's first five books and enjoyed them, I couldn't pass this up and I wasn't disappointed. Faeries, elves, dwarves, humans, magic, adventure, mystery... This book has it all. Leonard is able to weave a tale that drags me in every time. So much so that it annoys me when I have to put his book down to do things that must be done. The characters are well written as they work their way through the events thrown at them. While I wanted to stay with the main characters, I also wanted to see what was happening with the other characters. Although Shawndirea is a prequel to Devil's Den, it is a stand-alone and the first of its own series. I so look forward to the next book in this series.
Lost, found, sadness, joy. What a tear jerker; I'd bawled my eyes out. Another enjoyable read in the series. I'm looking forward to the next book.
Listening to audio book. A nice light-hearted murder mystery with a couple of cats helping a librarian. Cats and books are always good together. This one is set a few months after book two. I enjoyed the characters and the story line. I look forward to listening to book 4 in the series when it becomes available.
I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. There are no spoilers here!
OMG! What a tear jerker! Have a box of tissues with you when you read this. First, let me say that I am not a fan of MC stories but the author sucked me in with this one. Please don't crucify me yet lol. However, I'm glad this isn't like other MC novels I have read as I enjoyed this book. While there were a few spelling mistakes, I loved this book and the main characters. Especially Chalk, Abigail and Tank the most. This is Ashley Wheels' first solo novel and it is good. Her writing captures each character and from their point of view. I would not hesitate to buy another novel from Ashley if it is as good as this one.
