The King's Deception (Cotton Malone, #8)

As usual Steve Berry does not disappoint!! Cotton Malone is one of my very favorite fictional characters & just like the man who thought him up, he never lets the reader down either.
This installment deals with Henry VIII & a supposed secret he passed on while on his deathbed, a secret that if proven true could decimate the English monarchy as we know it. Along with plunging them back into a bloody battle over Northern Ireland. Elizabeth I a man? How could you not be intrigued!?

Halfway through season one loving it so far gonna stick to the end of the season where it goes. Karl urban is fantastic as Billy the butcher he's brilliant in everything he does same goes for the rest of the cast even Simon pegg as hugies dad . Anyway I like the plot what if the justice League or the avengers were total theres a word but it's too rude but u will get my meaning hope there's a second season
  
Ugh, I hated Elizabeth, Jessica, Jeffrey, and Aaron so much in this book. Liz for being a hateful shrew to Heather because Heather dared to have different interests than St. Liz.

Aaron - for being a horrible person and not seeking help because of his Daddy Issues.

Jeffrey - for being a worthless enabler.

Jessica for being stupid and not reading a product label. And then actually profiting from her mistake. SERIOUSLY? They didn't bother to read the instructions! Why should thay win a frakkin' lawsuit?!

I sent a right snotty message to Mr Jadison!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 2 in the series, and you MUST, I say, MUST read book one, Reap This, before you read this one. You NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED it for the full experience!

Ian is Seamus' twin, but he doesn't class himself as a good witch. Taking himself off to see the Pyramids, he becomes involved in a chase across the world. And he falls in love!

I loved this book, more than book one. It's again only short, and only Ian has a say, Khnurn the vampire doesn't get a voice. And of COURSE I wanted to hear from him, epsecially as there is history here between Ian and Khnurn.

Well, I was loving it, until, Jadison does what he does and you have never heard such foul language come out of my mouth!

I mean, there I was, happily reading away. The spectre that chased Ian across the globe wants his reward. I couldn't see how that would happen but then??

THEN???

Well, I can't say exactly, cos spoilers, but suffice to say, I had a proper Violet Elizabeth moment (google it ;-)) and I threw my toys out the pram, and I spat my dummy out and I flung my poor kindle so hard it bounced off the bed and I was worried I had broken it! And I sent a right snotty message to Mr Jadison, telling him just what I thought of what he did and asking how he was gonna fix it! Because it needs fixing!

There was a hint as to that it would be fixed, to be fair, I just can't see HOW it's gonna be fixed.

Anyways! Even though Mr Jadison done caused me to turn the air blue, or maybe BECAUSE he did, I don't much care either way . . .

5 full and blue streaked stars

2014 | Mystery, Sci-Fi
I'm going to start with a controversial statement: I preferred the 1998 version of the famous Japanese monster movie.

Reason? Mainly because, for the vast majority of this particular movie, I couldn't tell what was going on: lots of rumblings, sure, a few monster noises bit actually being able to see what was happening? Nope.

It also seems to waste most of its cast: Bryan Cranston doesn't do much before making his exit, a pre Scarlet-Witch Elizabeth Olson spends most of her (limited) screen time looking worried and Ken Watanabe does nothing but seemingly mope around the place.

And, finally, what call the movie Godzilla when he's barely in it? If anything, it should have been called MUTOs ...
