Without Regret (Pyte/Sentinel, #2)

Book Rating
Chris has had it tough. Not only was his childhood nothing to write home about but when a Master attacks their home in Book 1, it is Chris who ends up being shot and severely wounded. Through sheer grit and determination, he has made it back to full health. But along the way he has lost that cheekiness that I loved about him. The responsibility he feels towards his family and making sure that no one can hurt them again is what makes him get up in the morning. His mate is still out there and he imagines she will be just like him. Isabella is the perfect partner for Chris. He needs someone to bring laughter back into his life and she manages to do this even when she doesn't mean to. Isabella shows Chris that you don't always need physical strength. Yes, she is the helpless and hapless female on more than one occasion but she also has a mind and isn't afraid to use it. Her wit is rapier sharp too and once she sets her mind on something, it takes a very good reason for her to change it.

This book is the second in the series and doesn't disappoint. The plot moves along swiftly and we reconnect with characters from book 1 which too often isn't the case. This book is once again filled with action and humour. We get some depth in the lives of all the characters too which is also good to read. Absolutely brilliant with lots of spicy moments. Recommended!

For The Sake Of Vicious really takes you down a road of shocks and brutal violence and really doesn’t hold back when the action kicks in with almost every household item being used by Chris and Romina to defend themselves from the invaders. There are some stomach-churning moments during this movie...

2017 | Horror
I’d call it more unsettling than straight horror, although there’s an ongoing motif about Harrison being haunted by nightmares, which are truly shocking to watch and intriguingly photographed in a different aspect ratio
Critic- Chris Bombray
Original Score- 8 out of 10

For only the ninth time in history, we have the opportunity to explore a new Radiohead album, and it’s worth the long five year wait. A Moon Shaped Pool is gorgeously produced by the band’s usual collaborator, Nigel Godrich
Critic- Chris Gerard

Amplitude made a concerted effort to improve upon the foundation of the original while adding in some interesting lore building elements. It’s impressive that there’s been no regression in the quest to craft the sequel.

Each track is charming and sturdy and well put together, evidence of an artist who is at the very top of his game and ready to reach even higher. Here’s looking forward to Volume 2.

CBorden (67 KP) rated Gifted (2017) in Movies

Chris Evans and McKenna Grace are superb! They elaborately maneuver the labyrinth of raising a gifted child, and being the gifted child trying to be a kid but also embrace the things that make her unique. This movie very clearly shows the struggles from all sides - the guardian, the extended family, the teaching professionals, and the gifted themselves.

Worth every minute
Billboards plays out like a Chris Stapleton song, there's this raw and unforgiving grit to it throughout. The direction is precise as is the ensemble acting led by Frances Mcdormand. The layers and themes of this film play out beautifully and for me, it was a Top 5 film of 2017. Ending could've been better.

"Reservoir Dogs, I love for the dialogue. I think it’s just unbelievably brilliant and funny. Original, and just strange — the little conversations between Joe and Michael Madsen when they’re in the office, and Chris Penn comes running in and he goes, “I see you sitting there, but I don’t believe it!” I just love every inch of that movie."

It was nice to hear from Lauren again. This time around, Chris' POV wasn't so boring and I enjoyed his side much more. I love the twists and turns the story has taken and, though I'm pretty sure I know how this will end, I can't wait to see what all happens. FYI: I missed Cal, so freaking much!
