I'm huge Dresden Files fan and this was one of my most expected book as it's been quite a long time since last book
Let's say this is a book that can't be read as a standalone as the world building is very complex and there's plenty of characters. There's a lot of backstory but it's better to start from Storm Front and read the series if you want to enjoy this one.
This is a sort of introduction to a second book. There's a lot of growing tension, action but you will need to read Battle Ground to know what will be the solution.
That's the reason for the 4*.
Butcher is always an excellent storyteller and I couldn't put this book down loving every moment and enjoying Harry's antics, his fight with the Winter Mantle and the complexity of supernatural world.
It's recommended as it's gripping and highly entertaining.

I love this series and, even if this is not my favorite installment, i thoroughly enjoyed.
There's plenty of changes and character development, I was happy to catch up with the characters and read about what was happening in their life.
The mystery is complex but I felt it took the backseat to the story of Hannah and the changes in the character life.
It's as well written as usual and character and plot development are very good.
Recommended.

This is the fourth book I read by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and the only common element was her excellent storytelling as each of them was of a different genre (thriller, fantasy, horror, comedy of manners).
The Beautiful Ones is a not as exciting as Mexican Gothic but it's an excellent story.
I'm a huge fan of Georgette Heyer and I think that this story could have been written by her (this is a compliment).
The book is set in fictional European city during the Belle Epoque. The names are French-like so it could be Paris. There's an elite of people that reminded me of Heyer's Ton and the social rules reminded me of some Regency romances: the Season, the husband hunt, the behaviour of a young lady.
Nina is a strong willed, clever young woman who has to face this world and try not to be crashed by the social ostracism and people trying to tame her. This is her story but it's also the story of her coming of age and becoming a woman who decides about her destiny.
Valerie is the other main female characters. She accepted to be crashed, to marry for money, to become a social icon. I don't like her but I cannot help feeling sorry for her.
There's a light fantasy elements and there's plenty of world building and character development. The author excels at both.
As this is a comedy of manners there's humour, witty banters and some situations that made me laugh.
I loved this story and found it compelling and entertaining.
Another excellent book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, I strongly recommend it.

Another excellent story featuring Murderbot and it's a mystery.
I had a lot of fun in reading it and it kept me hooked.
Murderbot is a great character and I loved this story.
I can't wait to read other stories in this series, highly recommended.

I found this story engrossing and entertaining.
It's well plotted and I was happy to catch up with the characters and follow them in this investigation.
The last part is quite fast paced and I was surprised.
I think it can be read as a stand alone as there's some backstory but I think you need to have read the rest of the series if you really want to enjoy it.
Recommended.

I think this is one of those books I will have to read again in the future because my current review is biased by comparing it to The Flatshare and The Switch.
I loved the characters in the previous two books but I couldn't connect to the characters in the Road Trip.
I appreciated that they were flawed but I also felt them a bit forced.
I liked the two timelines but I felt that there was less humour and I missed it.
Beth O'Leary's books always mixed very serious themes like abuse or grief with humour and the mix worked wonderfully.
This time it didn't always worked for me.
This is a good novel but I had very high expectations and I feel as I got a good novel but not at the same level of the previous ones and this is the reason why i think that I will re-read it in the future so I won't compare it to the Flatshare/The Switch.

It's an engrossing and entertaining story that I recommend.

Even if the blurb sounded interesting I didn't like the characters and the story didn't keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea.

Sheila Roberts never disappoints and I liked this heartwarming and poignant story.
It's engrossing and entertaining, the setting is lovely and the characters well thought.
It's recommended.

I fell in love with the cover and liked the blurb.
The book is well written but I assume I was expecting a more heart warming story with less drama.
Not my cup of tea.
