i love the romantasy genre, and this book grew up with me

The protagonist a man living a mundane life seeks what seems an impossible goal . His journey to reach that goal is fascinating and always with an underlying question mark about his past.

Harold’s determination to achieve his goal and his journey along the way. The book managed to keep its reader in suspense and intrigue throughout.

This series really kickstarted my reading journey this year and unashamedly has a chokehold on me! The dragons, character dynamics and cliffhangers have left me wanting more. Yes this book is not for everyone but I will recommend it, along with ACOTAR for those who want to explore Romantasy books for the first time or long standing fantasy fans.

Eileen is about 24 year old Eileen (shocker I know) who works as a secretary in a boys prison. She's just drifting through life until a woman named Rebecca arrives at her work and then it all spirals a bit. It's a good creepy, gross, isolated, wallowing, intense, intriguing electric sort of book.

The characters, their relationships to each other and their character developments are out of this world. If you love a fantady book with the found family trope you'll love this one. It's a catching story about injustices, love, friendship and a heist.

Dark Academia, mystery, found family, a murder, theatre and Shakespeare. It's an incredible book for everyone who enjoys those kind of topics.

Loved the two worlds/ sliding doors aspect to the story. How one choice can change the shape of our life. What ifs! Great narrative of friendship and relationships and how they form our lives.

Donna Leon's style finds the humanity in most people and the inhumanity in the few. Highly satisfying writing about Venice, its people buildings and architecture, and its food. Immensely satisfying reads.

This book is so magical and has a nostalgic feel to it, it’s very well written and the story is sad and beautiful at the same time

I got into this series through TikTok recommendations and went in not expecting much but honestly loved the books, the characters and the whole universe in which they take place in.

This book is very entertaining and once you start you can’t stop reading it!

It’s entertaining, intriguing and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Love the characters!

DCI Harry Morgan runs a team of detectives in the seaside town of Bournemouth. Their first case is a murder of a prostitute but there are factors to the murders that make it out of the ordinary. Tracking down the killer, who uses voodoo to rule his drug empire, puts Harry and one of his detectives in harm's way. With success, Harry is ordered to run a task force for serious crime and is sent out to investigate some high-end burglaries in the wealthy districts of Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs. The case proves more complex than it first seemed and Harry has to deal with the surprise. In the third case, the murder of a financial expert brings Harry back to Sangeeta, a woman he met during his first case and investigating the death in the company where she works. Along the way, Harry discovers truths about himself and his past that turns his world upside down.

Three stories make up DCI Harry Morgan's Casebook, a series of crimes in places in and around Bournemouth, depicting how each of of the crimes, burglaries and two murders, were solved. Keith is a local independent author who has received great feedback for this book.

This book is a conversation between a student and a professor, which unravels many life lessons and gives a different perspective on life from a very wise person. Their connection is really touching and I recommend this book to everyone
