Watson Lamb (14 KP) rated Alita: Battle Angel (2019) in Movies
Apr 3, 2019
Contains spoilers, click to show
I have to say, this movie would have been amazing in the 90s early 2000s. While the action is thrilling and quite entertaining, the story is played out and the acting is ok, given what they had to work with. Everything was predictable and the ending is a cliffhanger with no resolution to the story arch whatsoever. It almost felt like they were doing a Romeo and Juliet where Romeo kills himself and Juliet goes out for vengeance rather than ending it to be with her Romeo. Making this into multiple films was unnecessary or at least I don't see how they can make the story more compelling from here. All in all, it is ok, if you like some great action sequences, but don't go if you are looking for a compelling story.
Auburn (57 KP) rated Finding Kyler (The Kennedy Boys, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
The good: Romance, twists, turns, brooding Kyle, and damaged Faye. The plot to this book is wonderfully well written. It brings you into the Kennedy family and makes you care for not just the main characters but the other boys in the family. Add on the forbidden cousin relationship and you have a story you won't want to put down. The bombshell cliffhanger insures you will be heading to the next book ASAP to find out what will happen.
The bad: I had a hard time with the whole cousin thing for a lot of the book. But if you can get past that the steamy push pull is pretty well done.
The epilogue: This book is for fans of the Royals series as well as anyone who enjoys a good angst ridden push pull relationship.

I learnt a lot about Autism from this book
I absolutely loved this story. It is very thought provoking and I learnt a lot specifically about autism. I love this whole family (Rosie, Hudson and Don), Hudson is such a sweet little boy he had my heart.
It is a beautifully written story. Towards the end of the book there is a part that nearly had me bawling my eyes out, Hudsons speech. Book three in the series, but is this the end? Maybe, as it wraps up it all up at the end pretty well no cliffhanger but we will have to wait and see. Parts had me laughing… An uplifting, inspiring story. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I awarded a well deserved four stars and highly recommend. A brilliant read. Eye opener. Page turner. Full of facts. Hard to forget.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated Secret Origins (Story Thieves #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
It’s been two months since Bethany last jumped into a book, and she’s started to notice a man sitting in a car across the street. Owen thinks Bethany is overreacting to things, but as the friends follow him to his house, they make a startling discovery. Have they stumbled upon Bethany’s fictional father?
This book overs things to the comic book world, and I found this setting to be lots of fun. The plot twists out in some surprising and fun directions, and the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter kept me turning pages. The characters are strong as well, and we meet some great new ones along the way. Just watch out for the cliffhanger at the end of the book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated Blackberry Pie Murder (Hannah Swensen, #17) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
It's been four months since Hannah last found a dead body, and the only thing on her mind is getting her mother to settle on something for her wedding. That is until a sever summer storm forces Hannah to lose control of her car and hit a man, killing him. But no one recognizes him. Who is he? And what was he doing in Lake Eden?
There is little that changes in the lives of the characters, but I still enjoyed visiting them again since I found them their normal charming selves. The cliffhanger at the end definitely made me want the next book out soon. Can't believe I have to wait a year to find out what happens next.

Kim Pook (101 KP) rated No Good Nick in TV
Jan 14, 2020
Contains spoilers, click to show
No good Nick is about this 13 year old girl who shows up at a families house claiming to be a distant relative, but really she is there to con them.
As i watched this show i at first thought Nick was just a spoilt brat brought up by evil foster parents. However, as the episodes went on you realise she isn't really a bad guy, she's just trying to protect her dad and you also realise why in particular she chose the thompson family and at one point i even disliked the family because of her reason. The show had a lot of ups and downs, some laughter and some emotional scenes. I really enjoyed it and gutted it wasn't carried on as it ended on a cliffhanger.

Merissa (12051 KP) rated Return to Kadenburg (The Kadenburg Shifters #2) in Books
Apr 6, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
Welcome back to the world of the shifters of Kadenburg. This story continues to delight as you revisit old characters and welcome in new ones. The bears of Kadenburg come to realise that their 'little' problem with Breslin is actually larger than at first thought. The twists and turns that will take you through the story keep it fresh and exciting. There is a bit of everything in this book - humour, new romance, old romance, mystery, intrigue, and action. It really does have it all.
If you are a fan of shifter books then I can highly recommend this series. Just one thing though, beware the cliffhanger ending!
