**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Intent on defeating the Dark Queen and destroying the Veil, Prince Tal and Alexandria arrive at Markingham to discover a city on the verge of collapse, its people starving, and children vanishing without a trace. Hopes of launching attacks from the city against the Dark Queen evaporate. To make matters worse, the tiny breach in the Veil allows only a trickle of soldiers and supplies to pass through.

Before the city’s defenses can be restored, the Baleful, a vast army composed of melded humans and animals led by a giant centaur, sweeps across the land like locusts, leaving nothing behind.

In the midst of turmoil and conflict, the love between Tal and Alex reaches white-hot intensity. But the leader of a ragtag militia group wants Tal for herself and will do anything to get him…even strike a bargain with a child-killing witch for a potion to make her irresistible.

But every witch’s brew comes with a price.

Movie Rating

No. not the Netflix series.

The movie on which it is based.

If I'm honest, I didn't even know that there was such a thing, until I saw it pop up on Amazon Prime after having seen the trailer for the series on Netflix.

After a bit of research did nothing but say good things about both (movie and series), I thought I would give the movie a go first.

Set in the not-too-distant-future, where a science experiment to stop global warming has instead resulted in a new Ice Age, the film (and series) posits society surviving on a train that is circling the globe in perpetuity, with those in power at the front of the train (living in the lap of luxury), whilst - the further back you go - the worse conditions get. And it's at the very back of the train that we pick up, with Chris Evans (here, no Captain America!) about to lead another revolt five years after the failure of the last.

It's an interesting set-up, with some impressive (if improbable) special effects as we move up the train (and see the outside world through the windows), with Tilda Swinton stealing the show as the loathsome Minister Mason.

Now I'm off the (maybe) see what the series is like ...

TAKING THE FALL (Vipers MC #1) by Kally Ash. A steamy contemporary romance that can be read as a standalone. Get ready for this sweet ride with no cheating and no cliffhangers.

❤🔥❤

We weren't supposed to fall in love...

Not with these secrets between us.

But when her past and my present collide,

I have to choose between breaking her or breaking me.

Nick Sobolev is finally a free man.

After wrongfully serving five years behind bars, all Nick wants to do is keep his head down and his nose clean.

But when he meets the mysterious and very beautiful Alexis Cross, he finds himself being drawn back into the life that landed him in prison in the first place.

Alexis Cross is trying hard to escape her father and his influence, but in a city like Detroit, there’s no way to avoid either.

When her past violently collides with her present, it shatters her long-held belief that she’s finally gaining her independence, plunging her into a dangerous game with equally deadly consequences.
