A stunning insight into your own psyche
One of my favourite games of recent years, Senua's Sacrifice is a thought provoking insight into your own psyche, while at the same time being a beautiful story about love, death and loss.

The game looks amazing, and there aren't any loading screens, as they're cleverly hidden by cutscenes.

The game has an interesting death mechanic, whereby if Senua dies, an infection gets worse in her arm, spreading all over her body. If you die so often that the infection takes over, your save game is deleted. Harsh, right?

Despite this, the gameplay is beautifully done, and the story really gets your attention throughout.

If you haven't picked this up yet, I urge you to do so, before the sequel comes out.

There was so much sadness and trauma woven all through this book. Abandonment issues, touch aversion, physical abuse, and mental. It was so sad and I need a second one from the author that lets me know Noor and Sal lived happily ever after.

I listened to the audiobook and the cast did an amazing job with all the voices and being filled with emotions. The ending with all the resources listed for readers who might be suffering from abuse also had me in tears. They did an amazing job at showing the struggles that immigrants can go through at home and at school. There were triggers warnings included in the beginning as well to warn those that might be sensitive to certain content.

I can't recommend this read/listen enough and def recommend this book for someone looking for a good cry with a very happy ever after for the two main characters with a horrible ending for the villainy character that you gotta love!

I feel a little ambivalent about this movie. I think I like it, but then, it has aspects that are goofy and annoying. Chris Pratt was fairly funny, but then I found some of the other characters ridiculous. Poor Lee Pace, I wish he were cast in a different role in the MCU, that didn't involve him biting the dust. The soundtrack is amazing, as well. Other than that, it was meh.

Out of this entire series thus far this is my favorite book. The author has entwined vampiric and Valkyrie mythology to bring us the explosive tale of two amazing warriors who are destined for one another. This read is a powerhouse of action and romance and I had an extremely difficult time putting this one down. I love the direction the author took with this story and I give it five stars!!!

OMG!! Where to begin?!? I put off reading this novel for so long because it is post-apocalyptic, which I'm not interested in AT ALL. However, it was AMAZING!! The setting jumps throughout various periods of time and follows several different characters. The novel is full of intertwined stories and details and includes flashbacks and several recurring themes. There is no way to explain how well-written this novel is. I loved it so much!

Snikt!
I will try and avoid spoilers, but if you have not seen this movie......you should! Wolverine and X-23 are an amazing team, and add Prof X in the mix and you have solid characters you can care about. The action is well paced and the ending.....it’s a tear jerker. Loved it.
