Good story. A bit convoluted and hard to tell the different POV. The voices of the characters were all the same.

This one was interesting. Not as typical as the others except at the end.

I liked this book. I can tell the whole series can be formulaic, but I still would like to see what happens next.

October 31, 2015

I finally finished this book. It took me almost two months. It was a slog for me.

I loved this telling of the Beauty and the Beast story. Very inventive.

I liked this book. It was a really refreshing short read. And I'm keeping my copy to try some of the recipes in it.

Interesting book. I don't know that I liked the ending. Everything was tied up at the end, but in a strange way. I don't like story lines where adultery is the main topic.

This book was pretty good. I'm glad they all met in the end. I think David was a coward, and saw himself as the victim. He saw the damage his actions did too late and then was too paralyzed by guilt to fix it. Norah, Paul and Caroline were the stronger characters.

Really good, I like the October Daye series. Thank You Seanan McGuire.

Another excellent October Daye Novel. I loved it.

June 12, 2015

I liked it. Of course I'm not a good mystery reader, so I didn't see it coming. I liked the premise.

August 4, 2013

I liked the book overall. Some of the situation seemed contrived.

May 24, 2013

I liked it. The story was not what I was expecting, but still really good.

February 24, 2014

The book was pretty interesting. I thought the last third of it was a bit far fetched. Especially the way they all came together in the end.

June 27, 2014

Another good one. This one was a bit dark. But a very satisfying story and ending.

August 2, 2014

This was a good read. I had read some of the stories before and some of them were made into episodes of the BBC version of Sherlock. I kept seeing Benedict and Martin in the roles, not Basil and his sidekick.

I'm pleasantly surprised this second book in the series is as good as the first. I'm looking forward to the next one.

July 9, 2014

I liked this book. It did meander a bit, but had a satisfying ending.

September 1, 2014

I listened to an audio book version. Sometimes it was hard to understand what was going on. But interesting. I think next time I listen I'll follow along with a printed version.

December 31, 2014

Interesting and introspective book. I'm glad it ended the way it did, but not how it got there.

May 23, 2015

Really interesting book. It did not go where I thought it was going and it took a meandering way to get there.

April 20, 2015

A very satisfying reed. My attention was held all through it. Even though I could see how it was going to end.

January 10, 2015

I loved this book way back in the day and I loved it this time too. I appreciated the authors notes in the margin. They were fun to read.

Wow. This one kept me guessing until the end. Sometimes the names would get confusing but that may be a cultural thing.
