Last book completed in October. I think what I enjoyed more was Watson relationship with Miss Morstan (no spoilers So sad to see Holmes in drug dependence. Those first pages were hard because no one like to see another human being in that trap, sick world. As expected, Holmes will solve the mystery by using a deduction method. 3/3.5⭐️

Cute middle grade graphic novel. The interaction between these characters is cute. I think novel will be a good resource to discussed different topics with the young ones, like the expression and management of different emotions, friendship, how to resolve conflict etc. I know the palette of colors could be described as one that is in accordance to autumn season but I think is a little too dark to appreciate some detail 3/3.5⭐️

A graphic novel about a romance between a vampire and a warewolf. It has some peculiar phrases to describe the nature of their relationship which could be funny. The illustrations are simple but straight to the message.
This graphic novel has high ration in GR. I don‘t know how to rate graphic novels🤷🏽‍♀️ 3 ⭐️

🙁Didn‘t love it. The story began well, liked the mystery of what was going on, spooky in the middle but then that paranormal thing appeared (not spoiler) It was for me even ridiculous🤷🏽‍♀️Again, my fault for expecting too much. 3⭐️

Unpopular opinion. I wanted to like this book. I was so excited to read it when I received it in my #Staycation package but definitely it didn‘t work for me😬So repetitive, how many times he said was a slasher? That he shouldn‘t go to that party? and if you forget, it happened in 1989, this was mentioned over and over. So many unnecessary details🙄 rambling story🤦🏽‍♀️I almost DNF. I should sympathize with the character? I was bored 2⭐️

Inspired by author‘s great grandmother Edie and her twin violet who author discovered were “avid spiritualists and regularly conducted séances”. I enjoyed most parts of this story and the mystery of what was happening with medium women disappearances. Not everyone liked the romance here but I enjoyed it. But it was okay not great executed story for me🤷🏽‍♀️Predictable in some areas. 3⭐️It has higher rating in GR.

I thought I would like this more. The premise is good, enjoyed the beginning but I don‘t know, I didn‘t like the execution and didn‘t connect with the characters. But I still liked the story🤷🏽‍♀️ 2.5/3⭐️
