I love reading anything paranormal so I jumped at the chance to read Extinguish by J.M. Darhower but the more I read I couldn't really connect with this book. Don't get me wrong, there was some parts I liked but for the most part this book didn't do it for me, I tried but there was to much switching in past and present and not to mention people's point of views. It was an okay read but it just didn't grab my attention, now just because it wasn't my cup of tea doesn't mean it's not yours, everyone has different opinions and this was just mine. I'm still a huge fan of J.M. Darhower and I'm still looking forward to her future books.

Hmmm... I am struggling to find the right words for this book. I didn't hate it but I also didn't really love it. I was extremely excited because the character had some meat on her bones so I was like... whoot whoot let me check it out (If you have read any of my reviews you know I am not a fan of the extremely thin, flat stomach, perfect body characters) however I just didn't feel the connection with the characters.

I think I was expecting something a little different when I went into the book but that is not to say that other readers will not like this book... it had a nice message in the story.. which is why I gave the book 3 stars.

So with this being said this book would be a great pick me up.

Signing off.. It wasn't for me but that doesn't mean it isn't for you.

It's a good YA book, but not really my cup of tea. The time travel aspects were interesting, I think its a great book overall, just not to my taste.

I love this series but this book was a miss for me. It had a lot of drag and the action/angst just wasn't felt. It was by no means horrible, just not my favorite.

I didn't like this book as much as Wally Lamb's earlier novels, but I still enjoyed it.

I am a huge fan of Charles De Lint, in fact he would rate amongst my favourite authors.

I know that I am possibly being a little harsh in my critisism but I did not come to love the characters in this book as I have done in previous reads.  I know that this book is aimed at a teenage market, but it didn't draw me in the way that books like Moonheart, The little Country and Some place to be Flying have in previous years.

I liked it, but I didn't love it.  Please give us some more books about the loveable characters of Newford.

Reviewed for Hooked on Books--3 stars!

I'll be honest; I didn't really enjoy this book. It was mediocre for me and I hate to say that because you can tell that the author put a lot of work into this book. It was well-written and detailed, but just wasn't for me.

It took me a while to really get into this book.  It had interesting aspects to it but I didn't love it.

I am a bit torn about this book. I was looking for something a bit different to read and this definitely qualifies as different. For me, this was not the best book but not the worst either, just an ok, in-between, 3 1/2 stars book. I will probably never feel compelled to reread it and I suspect in a few months I will not remember it at all. Perhaps if you love D/s sci-fi with a weird steampunk overlay then this might be book perfection for you. The plot is definitely different and held my attention but I just never really connected with the characters or even particularly cared about them. Maybe this book would have been better for me with an epilogue that showed me a glimpse of how their love worked in the future.

I liked it but I wasn't as impressed with this book as I was with another book by the same author that I had read previously.  The story was fast moving enough but there was just a little too much repetition of the theme that the former IRA is just super dangerous and scarier than other mobsters.  I wasn't convinced.  And there were some questions that just didn't hold together in my mind.  For example, in an early scene the hero buys someone a prepaid cell phone to use for emergencies, but in a later portion he leaves the same person with a code to tell if a call is from him and a warning not to make any cell phone calls that could be traced.  Duh--what happened to that phone to which only he had the number?  In other scenes the hero is checking him and his friend into hotels in Ireland with false names.  Doesn't the author know that you need a passport to check into hotels in Europe?  A few things like that just made me think that a little more research/review was needed before this book went to print.  But as far as making a good afternoon read, the book was fine.

Thoughts:  This is typically a book I would lovewe have the guy crushing on the girl for years, the girl secretly loves the guy  not to mention hot firefighters! However, there was a bit of a lack of connection for me with this one. I just didn't feel the emotions between the characters, and that is a big part of the book for me. In addition to that, I had an issue with the maturity level of the characters. For some reason, this one had a little bit of a New Adult vibe to it, and I just couldn't shake that feeling the whole time I was reading it. I cant really pinpoint anything in the book that substantiates my feeling regarding that, but just the writing itself sort of read that way and gave me that impression.

When it comes to this title, think Chicago Fire meets Baywatch and that about sums it up. A decent read overall.

It was not my favorite book by far.  If you are really into religion I'm sure you would have rated it really high.
It's not a bad book and could very well be your very favorite.  Don't take my word for it by any means.

It was ok. I wasn't wild about it and probably won't read the rest of the series. The main two characters were a little annoying to me. I liked the side-kicks a lot but other than that, I thought the book slow in the beginning, lacking in the middle, and then it jumps around a lot at the end. I don't regret reading it.

I normally love Mr. Sidebottom's books, but this one did not grab my attention like the books about Ballista.
