Here is my list for #castthedie @PuddleJumper My lucky book will be the tagged. I‘ll be honest I might read all of these, but the first one(s) I read will be the die rolls. 🥰

Continued reading through this series.

Not much though about them as they don‘t have much going on but they keep my attention in the moment and they don‘t take long to get through.

While I feel like this one didn't quite live up to the first book in the series, I still enjoyed it.

The pace is significantly slower in this book, and it definitely took me longer to read, but it also brought in more history and detail, creating something really beautiful.

Overall, this was absolutely still a pick that left me more than ready to pick up the third and final book.

I got 33/45 😆
There are way too many good ones on this list to narrow it down to 3 picks. Dracula, The Craft, The Goonies, Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Edward Scissorhands, Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus, the list goes on and on.....
This was so fun though and makes me want to rewatxh all of them 🍂🎃

I love fantasy. But I have a very strong distaste for smarmy, poorly written romance. Yet here I am, all sucked into a romantsy series. Because vampire hunger games! I mean I was 70% in before I had to encounter “the rigid length of his desire”. So I have hardly rolled my eyes at all. Great character development makes all the difference.

This one was very hard to pin down for me. I'm calling it a soft pick, but just barely.

The character concepts and the premise were unique enough to hold my attention and keep me reading, but the narrative did fall prey to over-explanation in many places, and yet it also had several elements that were a bit confusing and under explained.

I'm still undecided about whether or not I will pick up the next book.

I love this take on vampires. First book of three. The TV series follows this fairly exactly, unsurprising given the authors. The show improves the storytelling and if you‘ve seen it there isn‘t much extra in here, but still enjoyable after a few years space. I‘ll hopefully find the others as I‘m most interested in the character development of Zack, which didn‘t flow well between TV seasons, and very curious about the ending in the books.

danx The characters are fun. “Two epidemiologists, a Romanian professor and a hulking rat catcher of Russian descent walk into a vampire nest…”. Nora is great but I wish there was a bit more development of a strong non male character in there. You‘ve got a sidekick, a selfish lawyer, the ex wife who makes a deathly decision and a neurotic wife. Pretty typical unfortunately. 5d

This was the next instalment of the London Steampunk series that I started with #LittensLoveRomance. It‘s Rip and Esme‘s story and I loved it - this series is dark and gritty but full of great characters that you root for and fall for. I can‘t wait for the next one.

LiseWorks I've got to read this too! 6d
