She turned away from him reluctantly. She wanted to keep staring at him. She wanted to memorize this moment. This night. No, it wasn't sweet lovemaking. But it was what she needed.

    Not sweet loving making but...what was it? I'm hanging on your words.

    Interesting snippet. I'm wondering where they are, what they're doing, and why it's "what she needed." Hmmm.
    Thank you for hosting The Friday 56 every week.

    Great excerpt! I got signed copies of this book and the prequel at BEA last week and met the author. Looking forward to starting them.

    I haven't read any of the Harlequin series books in a long time though I did just pick a couple up. This one sounds pretty intense plus I've read some really great reviews for other Maisey Yates books. Thanks for hosting!

    This sounds like a very intense read. Although I know the F56 is talking about something a bit more ... mature ( ;) ) I do agree that sometimes it's good to be a bit more intense with each other rather than just being all lovey-dovey. I want to be able to scream at someone without that meaning the end! Thanks for hosting :) I hope you have a great weekend!

The Invisible Man

What you can't see can hurt you. Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy scientist, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding. But when her abusive ex suddenly dies, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia's sanity begins to unravel while she desperately tries to prove she is being hunted by someone nobody can see. 


REVIEW:
I sorta hated the beginning.
Starts outs so dark that you can't really make anything out. Hard to know what's going on if you can't see.
It doesn't take long to get light though.
Thankfully.
Man, does the story ever pick up after that. I don't remember much about the original but this one is intense. Right to the very last second too.
Sydney is badass and shows it throughout. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone thought you were o…

#Win Game of Thrones Season 8 (US/CDN)

AVAILABLE NOW!
RATED PG
425 minutes

In the mythical continent of Westeros, several powerful families fight for control of the Seven Kingdoms. As conflict erupts in the kingdoms of men, an ancient enemy rises once again to threaten them all. Meanwhile, the last heirs of a recently usurped dynasty plot to take back their homeland from across the Narrow Sea.
This is the eighth and final season.



REVIEW: I loved the whole series, but especially loved this season as it wrapped it all up.  There were a couple of moments that were so incredibly tragic, but also a couple moments where the most tragic things couldn't have happened to better people. Take Sussy for example. God, how I hated that woman through the whole show and couldn't wait for her to get what was coming to her. Did she get it here? You have to watch and see! This is the season where you will sit on the edge of your seat, waiting to see who will win the kingdom. Does your favorite character prevail above the others? MIne d…
