An emotional brothers best friend romance. Funny, spicey, heartfelt, a bit of everything.

Got to part 2 and just did not feel the urge to continue. This was our local book club choice. I'm definitely not a historical fiction reader.

Quite predictable and flat. Almost felt rushed and very repetitive in parts. MFC was annoying, and even as a DR fan her behaviour pretty unrealistic. No communication or development within the relationship, no character building for Masked Daddy. Was hoping for a better story. Not the worst read but definitely not the best.

Exams, stress and obsession in this thriller. 
challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

Some really good short stories and some OK stories. More good than bad so 3.25 for me.

A fun mystery about a 100 year old ghost, a murder and a missing necklace. If I could have a ghost friend I'd want a Walt.
