Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

4.5 stars.

I was surprised that I liked this so much. I think it was the fact that the romance took up a good 50% or so of the book, the other 50% being the hunt for the demon that Cady believed killed the three people her parents had been accused of killing.

I still haven't decided if Lon is attractive (wavy longish hair and moustache?) but I have to admit that despite the age difference between him and Cady that I really like the thought of them as a couple. Some of the scenes between them were just amazingly sweet and others were just plain sexy.

I cannot wait to read more of this series!

Movie Rating

Short films are always hard to properly rate, especially as Battle at Big Rock is less than 9 minutes long!
But what we get here is a quick blast of dinosaur action that takes place soon after Fallen Kingdom, and revolves around a family on a camping trip, where they get stuck in the middle of two different dinosaur species fighting.

The short has a couple of cool shots as the chaos unfolds, and is a nice little appetiser for the upcoming third film in the Jurassic World trilogy, and it directly deals with the issue of dinosaurs living amongst us.

I would have given this a 6, but the awesome end credits sequence brings it up a mark.

Twists (0 more)

Too many dull spots (0 more)

I honestly went back and forth on how to properly rate this book. It was a quick read, but I almost gave up in a couple spots. The beginning was frustrating, with the MC encountering and complaining about problems she obviously put herself in. Then the twists started coming, and every time I thought I had it figured out, another twist hit, down to the literal last page. Did I absolutely love it? Not really. It was fine. Wild towards the end even. I'd probably give the beginning 2/5 stars, the middle 3/5, and the ending 4/5. And that's all I feel I can say without spoilers. 🤣

Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 326th greatest album of all time

One of my biggest regrets in life is how long it took me to get in to The Cure. A couple of years ago, my only knowledge of them was Boys Don't Cry, Love Cats and Friday I'm In Love. This album is poles apart from that material and is absolutely superb. From start to finish it is an absolute joy, Pictures of You, Fascination Street and Prayers for Rain are all excellent but for me it is the title track that steals the show - such a slow build up to an epic powerful finish, I always have to go back and listen again.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Save Me Too - Season 2 in TV

May 19, 2020

Good follow up series.

After the original @Save Me was one of the best TV shows back in 2018, everyone wanted to know if and when there would be a 2nd series. Well it's taken 2 years but here we are. A Father on a quest to rescue his daughter from child sex abusers. All the main cast are back again. It's still very interesting in reaching it's conclusion. Although not as intense or gripping as the first series. The last couple of episodes are a bit slow and some plot lines don't add much to the story. If you really want to see the conclusion of the 1st Series then definitely watch this.

Sweet Little Innocent Girl

Orphan- is a really good psychological horror film about a orphan who seems sweet and innocent at first but it turns out shes not. Plus the twist is excellent. The cast is really good expectally Isabelle Fuhrman she was fantasic and excellent.

The Plot: Devastated by the loss of their unborn baby, Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) decide to adopt a child. At the orphanage, both feel drawn to a little girl (Isabelle Fuhrman) named Esther, and soon the couple take their new daughter home. But when a dangerous series of events unfolds, Kate begins to suspect that there is something evil lurking behind the child's angelic exterior.

Its a excellent movie.
