I have to say that Wonder Woman is one of the characters that I enjoy, but not as much as Batman or Superman, but in the latest animated movie, so I was intrigued to see how this was going to take the story, in Wonder Woman: Bloodlines, we go back to the time that the famous Amazon princess Diana of Themyscira chooses to save fighter pilot Steve Trevor and return him to his home in America, which in turn sets us up on the journey of one of Wonder Woman’s most captivating chapters.

This Amazon Original does feel like a big budget cinema Film. It has a good cast, big budget effects and some great action scenes.
A mix of @Happy Death Day (2017) meets @Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow (2014) as an ex special forces guy lives and dies the same day over and over. Can he survive long enough to find out how to break the cycle. If you like the films mentioned along with some good humour and plenty of action, then load this up.

Amazon Prime's adaptation of the Fallout games, although - having never played any of those games - I cannot say how close (or otherwise) it sticks to the source material.

It's primarily post apocalyptic set, a kind of retro future in that it starts in an alternate 1960s and then jumps on 200 odd years, with Ella Purnell the main lead of the story as she ventures aboveground from Vault 33 for the first time in her life in search of her kidnapped father.

Of course, things are not always as they seem ...

It's what you think

THE VAN (RAPE VAN? I'm unsure what the title of this book officially is) is about a group of idiots who get into a car crash, get picked up by a group of serial killers, who get picked up by another group of serial killers. Even the book points out how ridiculous this premise is, so I'm inclined to give it a pass. Miller has a solid, no-frills kind of style that appeals to me, and he's never short on the gore. Of the extreme horror authors that are swarming Amazon, he's probably my favorite because he's the least pretentious (Matt Shaw, looking at you) and unflinching.

THE VAN is a quick read--a bit of junk food for your brain. You probably won't remember it a few days after you read it. One thing I wish authors would stop doing is letting the bad guy win and acting like the audience should be shocked. Some authors can pull that off as social commentary or whatever, but if you're churning these out month after month on Amazon, you probably can't. There's nothing wrong with writing something just for entertainment. Not everything needs to have a message.

Oh dear...that ending...I'm wincing on behalf of both of them.

So this is my fifteenth book by the author, I think, and I've enjoyed all of them. This one was on the shorter side in length and a quick easy ready, but that didn't mean it didn't make me want the characters to get together and have their HAE.

Of course, though, it's a trilogy and I'll have to go and buy book 2 and 3 to see how Marlo and Ray get over that little revelation that's just been spilled in that shower stall.

One thing I will say, Rachel knows how to write male characters POV's. Most of the books I read tend to be in female POV's but Rachel always seems to write both and sometimes it's really great to see how the male characters are feeling in romances and I always tend to fall for them, too.

So, as mentioned before, I will definitely be off to Amazon in a little while to see about purchasing the rest of the Cruel Summer trilogy so I can finish this series after that intriguing start.

UPDATE: I can't find the rest of the series on Amazon! What am I going to do?!
