I enjoyed this.

I found it easy to read and the plot was interesting. The sub-plot of realising she was falling in love with her best friend was an added bonus.

Never in a million years would I have guessed who the bad guy was, it was definitely a mystery trying to figure it out and the chapters from his POV were chilling at times. His lack of feeling for what he was about to do and the pleasure he got from getting the girls to trust him. *shivers*

As for Jay and Violet, they were likable though Violet was a bit blind when it came to Jay's feelings. I'm sorry, Vi, but it was obvious from early on that he cared about you in more than a friendly manner.

Finally giving this story up. DNF @ 27%

I'm not the biggest fan of erotica, so this was a little iffy for me going in. I thought it would be better because its plot sounded interesting: Men and women who work for an agency who seduce people to find out business secrets, plots for bad things, microchips etc, but Jade--the main character--starts to have feelings for her target.

I'm not sure if it was the writing style or just the way the author had decided to play the story out but I couldn't get into it. It was really heavy on the sex in that first 25% and like I said not a fan of too much sex.

I really need to stay away from books that are more sex than romance.

So I started this yesterday and probably spent a good six, more or less, straight hours reading it and finished it a little after midnight last night.

I loved that everything worked itself out; feelings, rebels, friendships. I was just sad to see so many characters end up dead :( Some I was sad about and some not to much.

And as much as I love that Maxon and America got together in the end and that they had some lovely scenes together, like the one on the roof

 still managed to drive me a little mad with her words and actions in regard to him.

Nevertheless I really liked the story and it was a nice ending to the series. I look forward to reading more books by the author :)

Movie Favorite

"The story of Bobby Sands and the hunger strike he died from while imprisoned by the British government at the Maze prison in Northern Ireland in 1981 is not for the faint of heart. Michael Fassbender, as Sands, takes your heart nearly to the grave with him in a miraculously dedicated and brave performance. The politics of the strike, orchestrated to protest the unwillingness of Margaret Thatcher to recognize the IRA inmates as political prisoners, is a quiet backbeat to the action and is never demagogic. But like with all great films containing shattering performances, your feelings for the cause of the IRA at the hands of the British government circa 1981 cannot help but be brought into sharper focus. McQueen won the BAFTA Award for most promising new filmmaker for this film."

I found this game to be quite charming and loved the whimsical and brightly colored art style. Playing as Ash was interesting seeing his perspective and getting some insight through him as to why his bullies were targeting him. The controls for the game are great because of the accessibility settings. The story itself is simple, but good because it is well told and you get a lot of those feelings through Ash's art. It's not very long, I finished it in about 5 hours, but there's a lot of great gameplay and art in it. There's also a photo mode and a free paint mode which add a little something extra to the game.
