- ...mucho me temo que palabras es todo lo que mis manos han visto alguna vez. ---- ...I'm afraid that words are all my hands have ever seen.
- Dragon bonding is a common theme in fantasy stories but direwolves? Now that's a unique and interesting theme that forms part of the central plot in this fascinating series. I enjoyed reading the first book and can't wait to start the second.
- A short, fast-paced and well-written prequel to Ryan Cahill’s The Bound and The Broken series. Packed with all the elements I look for in epic fantasy, this book gripped my attention and left me wanting to read more.
- It is not an easy read, some passages are raw and it is scary that one day this dystopia could come true. On the other hand, it is a good reflection and warning of what could become.
- After reading this book, you might feel the urge to go shower and deep clean your space/home. A splatterpunk with lots if trigger warnings.
- I enjoyed this trilogy. This is the last book in the Edge Of Darkness trilogy and the author ties up the story perfectly. It's painful, intense and explicit but worth reading. Check trigger warnings first!
- This second book in the *Edge Of Darkness* trilogy is a rollercoaster of emotions. The plot thickens and the stakes are higher than the first book. It's more than a simple story of obsessive attraction but about love in the midst of trauma and survival.
- The author of this trilogy should be given an award. This story is intense, well written and emotionally unsettling. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down until I reached the last page. If you enjoy second chance dark romance, you should read this one.
- This book is fantastic! If you enjoy psychological thrillers where the mystery is not only about finding the villain but also uncovering the truth inside the protagonist's head, then you'll enjoy this novel. It's tense, fast-paced, and unsettling.
- The Da Vinci Code’ is not a book you pick up to read for relaxation or fun. Have you read this book? One of the best books I've read.
- This book was Written in a third person POV one of the aspect I love about this book. If you love thrillers and you haven't read this book, please do pick it up one of these days and read it.
- Nothing stays buried forever and secrets have consequences. That's the summary of this dark, sensual and unsettling gothic fantasy. Keri Lake is the queen of gothic stories and I enjoyed reading this book. If you enjoy a blend of gothic horror, dark academia, medical mystery and forbidden romance, you'll love *Nocticadia*.
- “Mirrors and copulation are abominable, because they multiply the number of men.” —Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones
- This is an enjoyable mystery thriller with a strong central idea. It moves fast (I finished it in one day), keeps secrets coming and gives readers something to think about after the suspense settles. Dan Brown did great with this book.
- If you're in a conversation and the person you're talking to is in this position, end the conversation; that person has already lost interest. 
- One of the must read books in history when it comes to investing. I really dove into all Kiyosaki's stuff, and Rich Dad is great. But Rich Dad Prophecy and Guide To Investing are much better reads. You should read Rich Dad first though, so get the concept.
- Only reason this doesn't get a perfect score, is that it can be a lot of information to soak in...But overall, this is a must read book. Absolutely brilliant on so many levels, there's a reason it's so popular!
- Another geeky book about how maths affects our world from Matt. He makes it fun.
- This book blends murder, mystery, and faith in an exquisite way and at the same time it depicts the how the mind of a dangerous killer works. Ted Dekker always finds a way to keep your attention.
- This book is cosy fantasy of a young witch who must hide her magical abilities but an opportunity to be herself knocks at her door. She must decide whether to protect her society or the people she cares about.
- "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)
