I didn't like this book. The coming together was to quick. I was loss. I had a hard time figuring out what was going on. Am way behind on the original series and thought this was a new one. It is not. Same series different characters. Don't make my mistake. The paranormal was not as good as before. Not edgy as in the other series. Just was not my favorite

This book was so scary but it was uplifting in a way. I loved seeing the gang together. This ghost story was different and twisty and I loved every twist.
I am not sure about read the next one in series. Will let you know Gustaf in the morning
I'm so tired. And tomorrow I'm working more than 10 hours.
Dee, hope all goes well with your flight and airport experience!! Can't wait to hear from you from onboard! Didn't you say it was a Princess cruise? That was the first one I went on many many years ago.

Review: This book was light and oh so fun. Hard not to love the irreverent Dalton the feathery dinosaur shifter with his tats and pink mohawk and sense of fun. Simon was so serious in comparison but sweet and so open to switching sides! Great start to a series
I am reading another Gustaf. If you don't need it that is okay. Just need something to read now anyway.

This was a hoot. Dinosaur shifters and drag queens, whats not to love! Again this series is a little over the top, but so enjoyable. Just go for the ride!

Loved it. The cast of characters were so good! The food talk was fun. Zoe is a strong character and the mystery was very well done
With that book we are done. Sorry I never got around to finish my second book Wende, I feel like I've let you down.

Review:
I was sure I wouldn't like this book. If you have followed me for a while you know I'm anything but a fan of closeted main characters in my mm romances. Even less a fan of books that are using religion as the way of keeping the guy in the closet. And even less when the closeted guy is having all kinds of internalized homophobia. This book had every single thing of those. So I waited and waited to read this even though I loved the first book in the series and couldn't wait to read some of the other characters stories. Turns out I shouldn't have. I actually liked this a lot. I even liked Rowan. So kudos to Saxon James for writing a book containing everything I don't want in a book and making me like it.

I always leave your team with more books on my shelves!
Here is your next task!Task 23 - 102. Read 8 book published in odd months and odd years.
For this task you are using the initial publication date. If there is a date listed at the top of the editions page use it, otherwise the qualification will be from the earliest dated English language edition.

For example, books initially published in January 2019 and July 2017 will work, but books initially published in March 2020 and December 2019 will not.

I’ll have a better idea tomorrow if I can pull off 2 books. I got my iPad working just fine, but havent figured how to get my (white paper) kindle online to download new books. But we will be in port tomorrow so hopefully a cell tower will be near by. Tonight was formal night, poor Brad had to wear a tux. 😂
Oooh, found a book already loaded on my kindle that qualifies 😁

I liked it a lot but it was to bogged down. So much info and really did we have to spend so much time in the magic land where dead Marcy was? It was a bit boring broken up by dead Amelia. I loved the book don't get me wrong just was bogged down on information. Bob was great! I loved him. I love Julius a lot. His pov parts were outstanding. Just love this series

Bea was outstanding in this book. Her friend host a murder mystery dinner and a real murder happens. I loved it. The main reason I love Bea is how down to earth she is. She feels she is worthless then murder happens and she is all business! She and the Duke make the book. I will admit I was afraid when they finally married the series would go downhill but it didn't!

I loved this book! Sebastian and Vesper were so yummy together. My major like is they talked. They had a problem and instead of not communicating they talk and solved them together. Sebastian became a more well rounded character in this book. We learn more about him. The secondary character were great. But the best part is the library. I love that library!
