not really one for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
I'm really not sure I liked this book, and mostly cos I did not get the ending, it made little sense to me!
It's a dark book, certainly. There is (but not detailed) reference to child abuse, both physical and sexual. It's there, you know? Ella talks about what happens to her, but we don't get it all. There is bloodshed, and a lot of it at the beginning and the end.
Only Ella has a say, so it made the perplexing ending a little more so. Daman is given a voice in the epilogue though.
Ella voice is strong though, and even what she went through, she manages to get her revenge.
What Ella does say is well written, and well delivered. I finished it, so for that reason. . .

Weak 3 stars, if I'm being totally honest. Everything moved too fast. I didn't appreciate how quickly Jackson seemed to get over his anxiety, how relatively easy it was for him - in my opinion, that was nowhere near an accurate depiction of how someone overcomes or battles their anxiety. Granted, he experienced an almost-panic attack, but I still felt like it was dismissed too easily. Also, the build up was practically nonexistent. Harley keeps repeating that she's been "waiting so long" for everything that happens and the fact they barely know each other, yet she still feels this way, really grated on my nerves. The scene where her stalker "accidentally" hits the unlock button after slamming on his brakes made me roll my eyes. I feel like the story has potential; perhaps the next book is written better and in a way that doesn't make the characters boring, but I don't believe I'll be reading it.

David McK (3752 KP) rated Speed (1994) in Movies

"... I think it was called the bus that couldn't slow down"
That quote is, of course, from the incomparable Homer Simpson. Full quote something along the lines of:
"I saw this movie once about a bus that had to SPEED around the city, keeping it's SPEED above 50, and if it's SPEED dropped below 50, it would blow up! I think it was called ..."
Which is a pretty accurate synopsis of the movie as a whole, which stars a post-Bill and Ted (apart for the newest one)/pre-The Matrix Keanu Reeves, and a very early appearance by the future queen of the rom-com Sandra Bullock.
The film has 3 main acts: terrorist attempt to blow up an elevator, the bus bit (which is most of the movie) and finishing off in the subway. Truth be told, it may perhaps run only slightly too long as a result.
Still well worth a watch, though!

good enough for me to want to continue with the series.
Independent reviewer for Book Sirens, I was gofted my copy of this book.
This is the first book in the Beyond The Mist series, and as such lays down the ground work, the background into these vampires and how they came to be.
I enjoyed it, I did. It didn't blow me away, but it's left me intrigued enough to want to continue on with the series.
Not least because there are a whole host of characters we meet here who now need their stories. Korinna, especially and Roman, I think, needs a happy ever after. Andrei's brothers too.
Some smexy times, some violence, some darker themes. Vampires who shift! I liked that, it's different.
All in all, a good read, for me, but not a great one.
so, 3 stars, but I will continue with the series.

doesnt work for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. It's not a bad book, by any means, it just didn't float my boat, at all.
I mean, it's reasonably well written, from Creena's point of view. I found I wasn't really liking Creena though. Can't pinpoint why, however!
There are some gaps in the plot, one-minute Creena is shipwrecked, and the next, it's 2 years later. I would have liked some deeper insight to that time period: how she discovers the things she does, and what she does then. Not saying what she discovers, cos spoilers.
And the end is kinda cut off suddenly. So, there's that. An epilogue might have tied up the loose ends.
I liked the premise, it just doesn't deliver, for ME.
