Projeler İle Python - Mustafa Aydemir TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

"The mist darkened and edged aside as the anchored ship loomed into view. the boat was approaching her starboard bow and past the long tapering jib-boom. Like Bolitho's new uniform on the wey jetty, the Destiny seemed to shine through the drifting muck. From her lithe and buff hull to her three mastheads she was a thoroughbred. All her shrouds and standing rigging were freshly blacked down, her yards crossed, and each sail neatly furled to match its neighbour."p12 Richard Bolitho is now an officer, newly promoted to third lieutenant. His jump from midshipman's berth to wardroom is a significant one and he's been assigned to a new ship, Destiny. The crew has been tasked with a secret mission in the Caribbean involving revolutionaries. Britain is currently at peace but there are stirrings in the American colonies. Along the way Bolitho runs into pirates, storms and illness. He also must decide where his loyalities lie as his captain makes it clear that his command comes first, before king and country. This story is chock full of action. We not only flashback to where Bolitho meets his trusty coxswain Stockdale, we also get great battles on land and sea. Bolitho gets romantically involved and comes close to death. The variety within the plot keeps things interesting. I really liked the dynamics among the crew. Captain Dumaresq was just the right amount of crazy to frustrate both the reader and Bolitho. This story also showed how Bolitho handled his new responsibilities. He's not just one of the crew anymore and has trouble adjusting as an 18 year old trying to tell men three times his age what to do. It's been my experience that romance in books or movies about war tend to ruin the plot. It's no different here. The romantic subplot was unnecessary and detracted from the story. Overall though, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

4½ Out of 5 Yuki survived Samhain, and everything should be fine (until next year, anyway. Or until the witches she stole the amulet from find out she took it. Whichever comes first). But a jock has just died on Witchtrot Lane, centre of a witchy curse, and the J-Team – jocks and general jerks – think Yuki is the one who killed him. She didn’t, obviously, but try telling that to the J-Team. Plus a werewolf from Simon’s past has reappeared, and the rivalry between the two of them seems ready to explode. But back to the J-Team… they are determined, scarily determined. Yuki’s in real danger, until she can prove to the J-Team that’s she’s innocent. Business as usual then: working on short time with a curse hanging over her head. And don’t forget: “Never, ever travel on Witchtrot Road after dark…” This is seriously one of my very favourite series ever. It’s fun, cute, quirky, scary, funny and choc-a-block with ghosts. The world is amazing – spirit guides, werewolves, dead-people-smelling-girls, witches. The characters are wonderful and relatable. The relationships feel 100% real and believable. I was glued to the page from start to finish. I just love everything about the Spirit Guide series – what am I going to do while I wait for Book Four?! Yuki is honestly one of my favourite heroines. She’s quirky, fun and totally cute. I love her! Plus, she’s completely insane. Or, as my aunt would say, “special in the head”. Which is just a nice, cute way of saying mad. Yuki’s just so funny and witty and generally awesome! I mean, she made little rice balls people, out of rice pudding, trail mix, fruit pieces and toothpicks… and ATE THEM! God, that made me laugh. She’s just absolutely, insanely wonderful – I love her snarky…ness. And the really wonderful, wacky ideas came out of that special head. Calvin Miller, alpha wolf and Yuki’s gorgeous boyfriend. He’s perfect: can I have one like him? Though he takes his alpha responsibilities seriously, he also had a bit of a wild side. (Swoon.) And he’s always looking after Yuki. He is, truly, as Yuki said, “made of awesome”. Cal’s just way too cute, and really rocking that alpha thing. Cal and Yuki were, once again, the cutest EVER. I totally felt the chemistry, and the love and the general adorableness. They just complete each other. Cal could practically read Yuki’s mind: he knew exactly how to make her feel better. They were so cute, and the chemistry is totally believable. And Emma, the best friend ever, who is sweet, funny and addicted to organisation. And, again, knew exactly how to make Yuki feel better, what Yuki needed. I love her! But something strange was goin’ on with Emma in this one… She wasn’t “On The Drugs”, but what the hey was up with her? Simon was just brilliant! I LOVE his guy! He’s absolutely hilarious, totally vain and completely bonkers. Now Cal’s second in command: Simon would do anything for his alpha. And he respects Cal (‘though Cal’s probably the only one Simon does respect!). Always flirting, he’s constantly funny with an ironic edge. He’s ace and wonderful and the best. A newcomer in the series, Gabriel, Meredith’s brother, Simon’s true love who died because of him. Gabriel hated Simon, blaming him for Meredith’s death (this is part of a whole backstory thing, one that no one will get unless they’ve read the books). Gabriel was bad tempered. Therefore Yuki nicknamed him “The Brat”, and let me just tell ya, the nickname suited him. He was sulky and childish. Although, he was kinda funny – but shh! Don’t tell him that! The plot was really fast and super twisty, with an ending I definitely did not see coming – just how I like ‘em. I was scared, amused, confused and seriously wowed by the (another Yuki word) awesomeness. I love this series! I haven’t come across anything even close to it. No one does the hilarious to the scary like E.J. She rocks! As Yuki would say. Now: BOOK FOUR PLEASE! I mean, the ending was even worse than the others. Way worse. Not suspense-worse, just worse-worse. And if I don’t find out what happens next, I’m gonna end up Loco Lycans. Seriously. Plus, how will I be able to live without Yuki and the gang?! I almost lost it when I went a day without the books. So how, how, how will I manage without them? Finally, to sum the story up in one sentence: Sleuthing with a side of ghosts – love it!
