If you haven't figured it out, I love reading. According to my fellow reader friends (@AprilIsBooked, @Lei_Reads And @ReadsAndWanders), I am a fast reader too. I remember picking up Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince as soon as I woke up and finished reading it before dinnertime.
"... your life would be better if you learn to accept those things you don't necessarily understand right away." - Alex Westmore Start Date : August 2, 2020 End Date: August 2, 202 Actual Rating : 4.3/5 There are beings with supernatural powers among us... and they are done blending in. A group of supers are on the hunt to get the strongest supers to join their group. For them, only the strongest are worthy and everyone else, including the normal people, are meant to ruled over. All that stands in their way is a cadre of under trained supernaturals and their paranormal allies. Is their power enough to stop the strongest among their kind? - = Buddy read with @aprilisbooked, @lei_reads and @readsandwanders Start Date : June 24, 2020 End Date: June 26, 2020 "Books are time travel. True readers all know this. But books don’t just take you back to the time in which they were written; they can take you back to different versions of yourself." - Peter Swanson Actual Rating : 4/5 Malcolm Kershaw (Mal) owns a specialty bookshop. He is surrounded with murder day in and day out. Solving crime and guessing who the culprit is was only in the pages of the books but that changed with a call from FBI agent Gwen Mulvey. Gwen believes that some of unsolved murders with different MO are actually done by a serial killer and he is basing it on a blog post Mal created years ago, "Eight Perfect Murders". Now Mal, re-reads these books and tries to catch the killer before the killer catches him.

Martin is a guy that have a past that would not let him lose Kylee while Daniel... well aside from a family history that made him a hot head, he also have the hots for the kidnapped victim. Altough, they mainly track down drug cartels but took an exception and accepted the job from Christian and Anne Von Mullers. A simple tracking of kidnappers and assisting with the ransom takes on unexpected twists and not all is what is seems to be. "Your heart is pure, your intentions are true.
