Book Divas (227 KP) rated Salem's Vengeance (Vengeance Trilogy, #1) in Books

Dec 12, 2017

I received a free ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

The Salem Witch Trials have always intrigued me as I am fascinated and appalled at the naivety of people. This book's story line takes place 19 years after those trials and the author's creative writing transported me in to the story. Strong and well developed were the story and its characters and the revelations that are revealed via a journal were outstanding. I cannot wait to read the second book and I highly recommend that everyone reads it.

So pretty

This movie is so pretty that after I watch it I am upset about how the actual world doesn't measure up. Aronofsky's best and most underrated films. I always associate him with hyperfocusing on a central idea- in Pi, it was truth; in Black Swan, perfection; Requiem for a Dream, addiction. This one is focused on death, but is actually his most uplifting movie. There are three stories that run in parallel, which few directors pull off, but it is done exquisitely in this.

What can I say about Suicide Squad? To be nice, the soundtrack was great and Margot Robbie did a good job with Harley. I cannot understand why the relationship between Joker and Harley is always romanticized, because it's definitely not romantic. The plot was rushed and discombobulated, and they underutilized characters. Why did they killed off Slipknot five minutes after introducing him? Why even waste the time introducing him? I personally can't stand Jared Leto as an actor, but I understood where they were going with the new Joker. But, in comparison to Heath Ledger, he was trash.

My first comment when I finished this book "well that was different" - I dont know why I always feel that way after reading a Rowell book, and none will ever compare to Eleanor and Park for me so none will get 5 stars but this book was kind of adorable. It was also kind of stalkerish and I feel like I should have more issues with that then I did - I mean talk about awkward. It technically all made sense in the end but I was like, wow, this is too much sometimes - ah well, can't win em all

Great movie

Contains spoilers, click to show

I love this movie it ties in true cajun culture and it goes to show that hard work really pays off to get what you dream of. Tianna is a hard working waitress who dreams of getting the restaurant her father always dreamed of to get for her. Naveen is a prince who us carefree and spoiled. They find love in each other on their adventure to be turned back into humans after naveen was messing with voodoo. They meet a gator named Louis and a firefly named ray that help them on their journey.
