First of all I would like to thank the author for giving an advanced copy of this novel.

A very fast, gripping and exciting book! it keeps you guessing all the way to the end. What made three people who have ordinary lives do the unthinkable and kill 4 people? They seem to have one thing in common: the twisting of their necks and the phrase “Straight and true”, what does it mean? Freelance journalist Kendall Jennings and detective Lance O'Grady are on the case and will be shocked when they are face with the answer.

A truly intelligent suspense/thriller novel!

This was my first Sarah Waters book and at first I found it to be long and slow but the more I was reading, I could,'t stop. There's romance, some suspense and some suprises in this book. A great book.

I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book is about Jules and her grandfather Szaja. Both are telling their stories: Jules in the 70's and her granfather in the 20's.

Jules is living in a very disturbed and dysfunctional environment with her parents. Between her parents there is violence, gambling, drugs and a lot of beating and to escape her imagination to bring some happy moments.

Szaja who in the 20's, witnessed unimaginable terror, violence and was too much that he develops a second personality to cope.

This book is disturbing, sad, poignant and beautiful at the same time. The author did an excellent job combining the two stories together, you could feel the pain and sorrow both were feeling.

My negative thing about this book is it was at time too slow but my overall opinion is that it's a great enjoyable book.

Great crossover between Batman and the Green Hornet. Full of action, great story, the artwork was on point! I didnt watch the old Green Hornet tv show but Batman was a must watched even though I wasnt born during that period, reruns were everywhere. Great comic worth the read and re-read.

As a fan of the tv show and not a big comics reader, I truly enjoyed this one. Woman Woman in Gotham city was a great idea! Inventive, action-packed. Artwork, beautifully done. Great comic collection for the fan or new to comic readers.

Different kind of thriller. Intriguing sometimes weird but in a good way!

I saw the movie and I loved it. read the book, Loved it too!

I received a copy of this book for my honest review.

Call me grim is about teenager Libby who almost gets hit by a truck but is saved by mysterious guy named Aaron. He saved her for a reason, he's a Grimm and he wants her to take her place.She doesn't believe him but starts to see glowing light aroung people and after witnessing Aaron take the soul of an elderly woman she starts to believe what he says is true.

She only has two days to decide if she will take his place or she will die. She doesn't want to but something happens, her best friend Kyle is marked and will commit a crime. Now she has a difficult decision to make: take the job and try to save Kyle or refuse and die in two days.

This is Ms. Holloway's debut novel and it's good. This paranormal story is original and well written. You do not get bored reading this book, it's a fast paced book. All the characters were well developped and interesting.

There is some romance but it's so minimal and it doesn't get in the way of the main story. I loved her concept of what happens when we die and the purpose of having Grim reapers when that happens.

Original, action-packed can't wait for the sequel. Amazing job from Ms. Holloway!

Great book. Slow at times but entertaining!

I had to force myself to finish this book. The way it's written made it hard to understand or enjoy this book.

An actor dies at the same time a terrible flu spreads. The collapse of a civilization. Some of the survivors are connected to this actor so the story goes from before the flu and after.

An interesting story that makes you think that something like this might happen. Great sci-fi novel.

I received this book from the author for my honest review.

What a great original story. Intriguing, well written characters. Great introduction for the Broken people series. Reading this prequel makes you want to know more about the characters, to the telecharger, the knife throwers, the balerina, the singer, the pole dancer and the robot and let`s not forget the owner of the Circus, Dino with the green skin. I wanna go see this circus!

Great continuation for the Zack Walker series. Zack, still paranoid and always at the wrong place at the wrong time but that's what makes this series so good!

For me, to read this kind of genre is suprising and the beauty of it is that I loved reading this book. Sweet, funny, charming, mushy but not too much.
The main characters were great and you want them to have a happy ending.

I am now a fan of Rainbow Rowell and will continue to read her work.

I enjoyed this book more than the first one. It was long at times and still with a lot of characters but the story picks up right after the firt one and it was well written and fun to read.

My first book from this author and I enjoyed it. It`s starts out pretty normal and then it becomes strange in an interesting way. A good Chick-lit, romantic funny entertaining book.

Dark fantasy novel. Great original story. Fast read, great writing.

A lovely story. Jacob is old and in a nursing home and his reminiscing about his days working for a circus. We go throught the behind the scenes of what happens to the animals, the workers and also the beginning of a love story for Jacob.

For me, it was a hard to put down book, well written, Jacob was a great character that by the end of the book, you want a happy ending. It's a romance, love triangle and a good vs bad novel. Worth a read and eventually a re-read.

For me, it was an okay book. The story is good, great characters but I found that it was too slow. I expected a little bit more action but instead got a lot of romance. It was an interesting story but the book could of been shorter and at one point there was too many characters.

Since it's a series, I will read the other two, hopefully it will get better.

Ive been putting off reading this book, I dont know why but I liked it! Great paranormal/fantasy YA novel. The story was good and entertaining. Funny at times, little romance that overpower the story.
Very good first book of the series.

Great suspense supernatural book. Great cintinuation from the first book. Entertaining, funny. Odd Thomas is growing on me. Great character to have in a series.

Great YA series. Beautiful book. Sad that it's over but enjoyed it so much.

Bones are discovered on a construction site. In total 36 bodies are found, the were mutilated more than a 100 years ago.

After the discovery of the bones, similar murders are happening in the streets of New York. Is there a copycat on the loose or the murderer from a 130 years ago still alive?

Agent Pendagast is back for a third time. D'Agosta and Margo Green are gone so he gets the help of Nora Kelly, a archeologist working for the Museum. The story still takes place in New York and also back is Bill Smithback, the journalist looking for his Pulitzer prize and is also Nora's boyfriend. A new character is also in the mix, Patrick O'Shaunessy, a cop who a couple of years ago was accused of taking a bribe and now his boss is making him work with Pendagast as a punishment.


This suspense, horror, fantasy book is great. Pendagast is such a great character, intriguing, weird and who has a few tricks on his sleeve. Smithback is your typical journalist but tends to put his ffot in his mouth a little too often and gets to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. For me they are both the main reasons the books works. They both bring the serious, emotional and funny side that makes the book a joy to read.

They are some parts that are far-fetched more on the fantasy side so be prepared that it's part of the charm the authors bring to this novel.

This book can be read as a stand alone since the references from the two previous book are so minimal that you don't really miss anything that makes you wonder what they are talking about.

Great thrilling, suspense book. 4.5 stars.

Colleen Oakley Before I Go

For I'd like to thank Simon and Shuster and Goodreads for the ARC of this book.

Daisy is dying. She beat cancer three years ago but now at 27, she has lots of Cancer and only has months to a year to live. She's a list writer junkie and on top of her list : Find a wife for her charming, disorganized in training veterinarian. She goes online, bookstores, dog park with the help of her best friend Kayleigh for the perfect woman that will take her place when she's gone. Is this a good plan, does she really want to push her husband towards another woman before she dies?

This is a sad book but in a good way. This book is told in the point of view of the main character, Daisy. She's a great character, you feel sorry for her because she's dying but sometimes during the book I felt I just wanted to shake her and make her realize the bad choices she was making regarding her husband. The interaction between Daisy and her BFF Kayleigh is real, funny and touching. The love that she has with her husband is beautiful and you just want to root for them to have an happy ending.

It also delves into her past and the relationship she has with her mother. Her mother is suffocating her but she still wants a close relationship but is afraid to show her that side.

We go though all her ups and downs during this novel, it will make you laugh and also shed a tear.

A beautiful debut novel worth reading.

First I want to thank Simon and Shuster and also Goodreads for the opportunity of reading this novel.

Summer 1963, in Cayuga Springs, Mississippi, feisty 9-year-old Starla is living with Mamie, her strict grandmother, while her father is working in an oil rig and her mother is becoming a famous singer in Nashville.

Afraid of being sent to reform school for misbehaving, she decides to run away and go to Nashville and reunite with her famous mother, the singer she hasn't seen since she was 3. On her way she gets a lift by a black woman Eula and in a basket a baby.. who is white. Starla may be young but in 1963 a black woman and a white baby means trouble.

After Eula's husband Wallace cruelty and an unfortunate accident, Starla and Eula decide that they can only do one thing is to go straight to Nashville. This road trip becomes a life changing course for both of them.

This book into the world of segregation, Starla who is the narrator, we see through her eyes the innocence that and also her eye-opening truth that she never witnessed. It also delves into domestic violence between Eula and Wallace and the truth about her upbringing and the broken spirit that made her take a white baby and raise him even though she knew it was not the right decision.

Never been to Mississippi, the author takes you there, the roads to the colored not being served in restaurants, makes you realize the misery that they lived through. The characters were right on point, to the good (Miss Cyrena, Starla's father), to the bad (Mamie, The Jenkins).

This is a beautiful story about searching for a better life, love, friendship and what the meaning of having a family, bounded by love of not means. After reading the book,i got invested in the characters, I wanted more, where would the characters be after 10-20 years.

A touching book worth reading!
