The second book based around a cult I've read so far this year. This one tells the story of Moonbeam, a 17 year old girl who lives in the Holy Church of the Lord's Legion. The story starts with the cult falling, people are dying and the Base is on fire. We then join Moon again in a psychiatric hospital where she is being seen by a doctor and we find out what has happened through a series of flashbacks. Events are shocking but it is a real page turner. I guessed the "secret" but it didn't spoil the book at all.

A classic Horror
This is talked about as one of the best horror films ever made and a timeless classic. It is very good, it has some truly memorable scenes that are still pretty far out 35 years after it was made!!! It has some nice effects to, no CGI here and the creature in its forms looks great. Set in a great location for a horror, a strong cast, good director this can't fail to impress. If you've not seen it yet put it to the top of your want to see list.

A very good crime thriller
Crime thrillers are very common, especially series, but I really think the Harry Hole books are better than your average crime novels.

The Norwegian setting is a nice change from your usual UK or USA set novels. Harry Hole is an intriguing and flawed protaganist, even if he is a little bit cliched. The plot of this novel itself is very interesting, although it does wander slightly into disbelief at times. This doesn't stop it from being a very good read and probably one of the better stories in the Harry Hole series that I've read so far.

While I liked the first season of Agent Carter, I didn't love it. Agent Carter was my favorite character from Captain America: The First Avenger. Hayley Atwell kicks a lot of butt, and I wanted it to be so much more. Jarvis was by far, one of the best characters, and I've always liked Dominic Cooper. The series just took too long to get to the meat of the story. I was hopeful for the second season, after the season finale.
I'm also still salty they canceled it after the 2nd season, and because no one else picked it up.
