If there was only one game I could rate an 11 on Smashbomb, Ocarina of Time would be that game. There are many reasons it holds the highest aggregate review score of all-time in the game industry. I could go into all of them, but I simply don't have the time, and no one would probably want to read this for that long. All I will say is, the first time you exit Kokiri Forest and head out into Hyrule Plain, you'll be hooked.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated A New Death in Books

I picked up [A New Death] by [Josh Vasquez] from the E. Shaver bookstore in historic Savannah. The fact that is was a local author and zombies appealed to me. I was not disappointed. As a resident of Savannah I can tell you the [Vasquez] makes the setting very real. I have think of the book each time I walk into my local grocery store knowing that is where the zombies first attack the main character.
As for the characters, they are very much like real people. That makes the story even more compelling since you can develop an attachment to them. If you like action, adventure, and/or zombies, this is a must read.

Auburn (57 KP) rated White Stag (Permafrost, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
A compelling new story that takes the nuance of Cruel prince and the lore of Goblin King. Fans of strong characters and women who can take on the world will love this read.
Soren and Janneka make the perfect pair to take on the world. Their companionship and fight through the book is commendable. This permafrost world is so well developed that it takes a bit of time to understand the plot. The characters had their own fears and you developed warmth for the odd man out.
*Warning of slight trigger warning for rape is advised. There is no full discussion but alluded to and the scars it leaves behind are in the plot multiple times.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Murder Notes (Lilah Love #1) in Books
Apr 13, 2019
fantastic read
This is the first book in this series by this author and what an amazing start. This book will take you on lots of twists and turns. I was gripped from the first page till the very last one then I was left wanting and needing more. This is definitely a compelling and captivating story, which is more of a thriller than romance. The characters were amazing with such complex development. This author has a fantastic style which just blows you away with each and every book. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended start to this series
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Rickey A. Mossow Jr. (689 KP) rated Creed II (2018) in Movies
May 21, 2019
A fitting conclusion.
The original Creed was an incredible movie, so of course one has to head into the sequel with reservations that they couldn't possibly tell a story as compelling as the first. The film hits the ground running and never lets up telling three parallel stories that combine into one amazing journey. The film also beautifully never forgets or betrays its roots. Stallone knows the story his characters and the story he wants to tell with them. His Rocky beautifully compliments the brilliant and layered performance by Michael B. Jordan. If this is indeed the final chapter of Rocky series, it's a beautiful work of art to close the over 4-decade odyssey.
Steph (468 KP) rated Traitor's Blade (Greatcoats, #1) in Books
Jul 9, 2018
This book was an absolute delight! It had me captivated from page one and I could hardly put it down! I brought the book everywhere with me so I could get in a few pages in a spare moment.
I loved that the main characters were heroic, but not heroes. The whole concept of the Greatcoats being cast down by society and hated by everyone was fascinating to me. It made the characters more interesting and the struggles more real. The characters and plot was compelling. There was intrigue and action. I borrowed the first one from the library but have already purchased them all from a bookstore online so I can read the rest shortly! :)

Milleen (47 KP) rated Nine Perfect Strangers in Books
Nov 14, 2018
Liane Moriarty’s Australian backdrop is ‘Tranquillum House’, a remote health retreat that promises total transformation. Each of the nine strangers has some reason for attempting to unload some mental baggage and relaxing away from the modern world. They relinquish their mobile phones and laptops, cutting themselves off from the outside. A different kind of therapy is administered by the austere manager and what unravels is an unusual twist on Moriarty’s narrative, yet it’s totally entertaining. There’s a level of chaos and farce, mixed with darker elements that make this a compelling read. Not at all like the famous, ‘Big, Little Lies’ but more ‘Truly, Madly, Guilty’ in its delivery. Available in hardback now, paperback in April 2019.

Ten years later her mother, Laurel still has unanswered questions when she meets a man who sweeps her off her feet.
