Unlikely to Stay (A Parker Lake Novel Book 3)Unlikely to Stay by Ashlie Knapp
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unlikely To Stay by Olivia Sherwood is the third book in her Parker Lake Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although the others are definitely worth a read.
Brant is familiar with the feeling of not being wanted. After his parents died he was moved from one place to the next, never finding permanence. Not until his foster mum adopted him and gave him a home.
Determined to make something of his life he attends college. However the debt he is left with afterwards forces him to take a job in a small town. But the three years he will do in the small surgery will cover all the loans. And then he is out of here.
Or so he thinks. Then he meets CC. She is independent but lacking stability. Raised by hippie parents she basically brought herself up. They are both looking for completely different things in life. And yet they can’t seem to stay away.

I found this book to be really enjoyable. I really liked both Brant and Colleen. They were fully believable as characters. Their stories were relatable which really helped to be drawn into their journey. The writing was easy flowing and carried you along without issue. A great book and one I would recommend.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book stars with an amazing premise, aliens, time travel, and it has everything to be amazing, the downfall is that the action develops slow, and to people that has trigger with tarantulas or with giant spiders, maybe it’s not the best book since our alien is in the body of a big tarantula…

The action develops slow and with lots of descriptions, for instance;

“I reach the gravel driveway where the truck is parked and notice the left front tire is a little low, but it should be all right until I can take care of it after work.”

This kind of descriptions, Tristan thoughts about things or actions that he is doing happen quite a lot and that is one of the reasons why the story develops slowly, if you like action paced books, perhaps it’s not the right book for you, but I also need to tell that it gets better with each part in the book, so take that as you seem fit ^_~

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

What can I really say about this book without giving it all away, it takes place in the limbo, the same place where Catholics are used to think souls go when we pass, so does this mean everyone in here is too good for hell or too bad to go to heaven?

Limbo, by its description, reminded me of a wild west city, but without its life, you have the buildings, but its empty, there’s nothing to do, nothing to help pass the time, a bar that don’t have drinks, a card game made from the wallpaper…

You have animals there, dogs, cats, mouses, cows, but the people there don’t see these animals growing, eating or anything, so are they being punished as well?

This book, reminded me very much of the show the good place, most people in the limbo are old, but there are exceptions and to make things worse you won’t find anyone you loved in your past life… you may find people you hated but why are people sent there? How can they move on? Why can you find children there?

Alyse, one of our main voices is only a teen that died of cancer… other people on the book we get to know their backstory and some of those stories only make us wonder, why are they there?

Probably If you liked the good place you will like this book, you get to know almost all people background and how they got there, but at the same time there’s many things left to learn about them.

The writing in this book is so good. The story really flows and reels you in from the first chapter. Not only was I on the edge of my seat for the romance, but I also wanted to know what happened with the murder. This author has an excellent way of telling the story. The elements in the book might be a little dark but it’s such a good read.
