Ich hatte den Webtoon schon gelesen und musste den ersten Teil mitnehmen, als ich ihn im Laden gesehen hab. 

Kai und Jasper sind so tolle Charaktere, im erste Teil lernt schon, dass beide ihre ihnen Probleme haben, aber ich freue mich schon auf den zweiten Teil, um wieder zu sehen wie sie sie bewältigen.

Another great addition to the Fazbear Frights  series. 

The first story was kind of sad. I felt really sorry for Angel and the way she is being treated by her family.
She did deserve better, it's just that one thing she did and it just had to end horribly.
 

The second one really had me with the way he slowly got more and more engrossed by Lucky Boy. Not being able to make a single decision without asking him first.
The gore in the end was perfect, such a disgusting image.


The last story, didn't really stuck with me. It was a bit confusing what was real and what was not, but I guess that was the point. Him slowly getting memories back, that his brain kept hidden before, was interesting.

Die Rückkehr des Königs war mein Lieblingsteil der Herr der Ringe Trilogie. 
Man fühlt sich mittlerweile sehr wohl in der Welt und es ist so viel passiert. 

Was ich auch interessant fand, waren die Unterschiede zum Film. Bisher hatte ich nur diese gesehen. 
Dass Saruman nicht gestorben ist, war mir überhaupt nicht bewusst, bis sie nach Isengard zurück sind. Auch, dass er sich stattdessen das Auenland unter den Nagel gerissen hat, fand ich sehr spannend.

Ich habe dieses Buch vor allem gelesen, wegen der Autorin ohne viel über die eigentliche Story zu wissen. 
Aber ich würde nicht enttäuscht. 

Nothing Left For Us ist so eine emotionale tiefgründige Geschichte über Gefühle, Ängste, Zweifel und Freundschaft. 
Ich möchte gar nicht zu viel in der Review verraten, da man das Buch am besten selber auf sich wirken lassen sollte. 

Im ersten Drittel hat es sich für mich ein wenig gezogen, aber danach wurde immer mehr offenbart, was die Geschichte so richtig ins Rollen gebracht hat.

I read this book as part of a reading challenge to break out of my comfort zone. I thought it might be interesting, but I had no idea that there would be so much Christian religious stuff in there. It didn't say anywhere in the blurb or on audible. 
So it really wasn't what I expected and I want as interested as before, even if he had some good ideas. The whole missionary talk just isn't my thing.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
I started this book for a reading challenge to try a book out of my comfort zone. I guess it really was out of my usual interests, I really wasn't interested and got so bored that I zoned out. 
I'm really sorry to the author, but it just wasn't my thing.

Wedding episode! I can't imagine how hard it must be as an LGBTQ couple to find a flat together in Japan. Even harder a wedding location!

I'm so glad it worked out for them, at least in the wedding department, so far.

Vielen Dank an Netgalley für dieses Rezensionsexemplar!

Der zweite Teil der "Geister Inklusive" Reihe hat nicht enttäuscht. 
Ich liebe es die Charaktere wieder zu sehen. Der wechselnde Fokus in jedem Vuch sorgt für Abwechslung, aber in einem vertrauten Umfeld. 

Kieran ist mir im ersten Band gar nicht so sehr aufgefallen, aber dafür hier um so mehr ans Herz gewachsen. Seine Entschlossenheit und Beschützerinstinkt für das Wohl seiner Schützlinge zu sorgen macht ihn unglaublich sympathisch. 

Connor braucht ein wenig um etwas aufzutauen, aber das macht seinen Charakter um so interessanter. Mit seinem Beruf ist eine feste Beziehung nicht unbedingt das einfachste, also kann man ihm die Startschwierigkeiten nicht verübeln. 

Ich werde auf jeden Fall den nächsten Band auch wieder lesen.

Aw this one was pure fluff and I'm so happy that Tsuge and Minato finally got their part!

They told their families! I'm so glad Adachi's family took it so well and that Kurosaw's accepted it even if they had their doubts at first. 
Can't wait to see them grow even closer. 

Sadly not Tsuge/Minato this time.
