Good building on a world of magic
A good second book in the series that would become my favorite. Jim is still trying a bit in this to find his voice, and the writing will develop more fully in the next couple of books, but still a solid addition to the series. Dresden is a very human and relatable hero, but with a wonderfully crafty mind and hilarious self-depreciating sense of humor.

The couple in this book is adorable. I want to start out by saying that. Aiden and Olivia have chemistry and it shows. The way we get to see them before they even get together from their own points of view made the story that much more believable. The angst, romance, and plot are expertly put together to make a story any romance lover would enjoy.

If you read and enjoyed the authors first book then this one will definitely be a win for you as well.

How to do low-budget horror the right way
Adding this movie to Smashbomb for the first time, the following is the quick synopsis from IMDB.com.
Trapped in an isolated gas station by a voracious Splinter parasite that transforms its still-living victims into deadly hosts, a young couple and an escaped convict must find a way to work together to survive this primal terror.

Thor: Rargnarok took the best parts of a couple different Marvel Comics storylines, fused them together into an 80's buddy action comedy movie.

If you apperciated the tone of GotG, like Thor but not his movies you'll love this. Of the 17 films in the franchise this one is in the top half.

I am glad Hulk's Warbond, though not called as such in the film, survived. Hope to see more of Kord and Miek, maybe even a spin off of there own.

When mystery author Tracey Eaton heads to New York for her sister-in-law's wedding, she finally gets her first real life mystery. The bride has vanished and the family wants to cover it up. Why? This is my third time through the book, and I enjoy it each time. Still have a couple of small issues with the ending, but they are minor.

This is the second book that I think is in a series but what series I do not know. I love this book as much as the first one. It more about Cafe and Cafe Owner. Sorry I can not remember her name or her son at the moment. It been a while since I read it. Though it was this year and only a couple of months ago. I will let you decide for yourself if you download the e-book or buy the paperback.

So I read this on the recommendation of my best friend who read them a while back... It did not disappoint. In fact, a full month after finishing the whole series, and I'm almost prepared to read it all over again. I was sucked into the story almost instantly. And all I can say while remaining irritatingly vague about the whole story is: If ya'll thought Ana and Christian (50 Shades) were a F*****-up couple, they ain't got nothin' on Eva and Gideon!

Couple goals
Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant are by far one of the best couples on tv. Joel (Olyphant) is a supportive husband to his wife that has turned into the ‘undead’ . They try to keep her need to feed ( on humans) under control with the help of their very judgey teenage daughter and the super funny, quirky boy next door. The first few shows are hard to watch but once you get past the fact that Sheila (Barrymore) is eating people it gets really good.
