Amy's marriage to Mark isn't the best - he can't resist the girls, he can't hold down a job. But she doesn't want to know just how bad things are until his gambling habit brings the debt collector to her door. He makes it brutally clear how she can pay off Mark's debts ...And Amy's troubles are only beginning. Someone else wants Mark for herself, and she is ready to steal Amy's man, her self-respect and even her children. As the stakes rise, Amy will either lose everything, or she'll have to learn how to be as hard and ruthless as her enemies ...



I read it in less than 6 hours! Couldn’t put it down! It made me sad and bloody angry and was very well written. The life choices these two people made nearly destroyed their children yes it was bleak but with the best outcome! I really enjoy this style of written too so was a really good read.

More venom as a symbiote (1 more)
Inclusion of Carnage
Let there be....more venom
Venom 2 aka venom - let there be Carnage
Is the second coming of the alien symbiote that focuses primarily on the angry and fragile friendship between Venom and Eddie Brock.

Eddie is still struggling to co-exist with the shape-shifting alien symbiote as well as the break up with his ex Ann (at least for now it would seem) and inserting the very distant and restrained relationship between serial killer Cletus Kasady and his childhood orphanage sweetheart (plot filler) as Cletus brings Carnage to life as they agree to kill Venom, which basically concludes the plot?

The story seems very empty as does Woody Harrelsons performance (unusual for WH)
but does also seem to work well regardless.
Tom Hardys performance is spot on again and the Communication between Venom and Eddie is hilarious throughout.

More fantastic special effects are there as expected and a decent end battle reminiscent to that of its predecessor that end this movie perfectly (post credit scene is awesome)
