Spyros Egkarchos (spyrex) | 97 comments Sweetheart, Sweetheart A big disappointment. I found the reactions of the characters extremely unreasonable and random incindents were taking place just for the sake of plot.

Rebecca
A mite long near the end, but otherwise atmospheric and excellent.

No, no, no no no. The correct answer is that it ROCKED!
(Just joking! Bummed that you didn't like it though.)

Erin (ems84) | 9052 comments The School for Good and Evil

It was okay, it was pretty juvenile and childish at some points.


message 567: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Cavendish | 314 comments Just finished Hunter Shea Misfits Misfits by Hunter Shea which shows again why the author is King f the Cryptids! Suspense, adventure, horror and heart in one irresistable book

Coldheart Canyon: A Hollywood Ghost Story
A wonderful horror/dark fantasy story combined with a classic Hollywood novel. Pure catnip to me. I loved it.

The Fisherman by John Langan

Padders (randompadley) | -13 comments Told my wife about this one, and just because of the synopsis she decided to 'buddy' read it and we both ended up finishing in just a couple of days. Although it turned into almost a 2nd book towards the end and felt a little unnecessary (or should have been used in a second installment) but nonetheless a really interesting one the wife had lots to say as you can imagine haha!

Vox by Christina Dalcher

message 592: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Cavendish | 314 comments The Dragons of Kilauea by Russell James The Dragons of Kilauea (Kathy West National Park Adventure #2) by Russell James the second in the author's National Park Rangers Kathy West series. Another great adventure novella from Russell James, this time set in Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park where long-slumbering dragons have awakened - and they're hungry. A quick and highly entertaining read.

Maybe I can understand why the sequels were never written.
