Merissa (13772 KP) rated Ricochet (The Wolfborne Saga #2) in Books

Jan 2, 2020

Ricochet is the second book in The Wolfborne Saga and we return to Zev and Alia, plus family. As the blurb says, Zev knows that fighting back one wave of wolves isn't the end of it, and his view becomes fact when the wolf he let go before shows back up, with dire warnings to Zev and his newfound family and friends.

This really is a great take on wolves and vampires. I know I've said it before, and no doubt, I'll say it again, but it is! As the book moves on you find out about different types of vampire. And the wolves start to make a pack, something they had been denied.

There is one scene - I'll call it the spaghetti and naming scene - that really stood out to me. So many different parts to it, all fantastically written. And can I just say? Naming something and then it dying is NOT good!! LOL

A brilliant addition to the series and I really can't wait to see where it goes next. I just hope Zev finds someone for himself!

The Time Loop

The Never-Ending Cycle

Edge of Tomorrow- holy shit i love this movie. I remember seeing this movie back when it came out back in 2014 and back then i loved it. You take groundhogs day and flipping it 10 fold. The never ending cycle of repeating the same day over and over again, its fantasic and puts a new spin every time tom cruise charcter dies. Plus its a sci-fi movie which is a plus, with aliens. Hmm "War of the Worlds" and "Oblivion". Tom cruise likes to do sci-fi movie that has aliens in them.

The plot: When Earth falls under attack from invincible aliens, no military unit in the world is able to beat them. Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has never seen combat, is assigned to a suicide mission. Killed within moments, Cage finds himself thrown into a time loop, in which he relives the same brutal fight -- and his death -- over and over again. However, Cage's fighting skills improve with each encore, bringing him and a comrade (Emily Blunt) ever closer to defeating the aliens.

The time loop is excellent, the plot is fanatasic, the sci-fi is phenonmemal and overall a epic movie.

Me and my husband watched this at the cinema yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. After such a long wait for this I half expected it to be disaapointing, but it was far from it. Shortly after the film starts you think it's the end of the road of one of the bad boys as he gets shot multiple times and ends up fighting for his life. Forward 6 months and you think it's his funeral but in actual fact it's a wedding and the character is there enjoying it, and you breathe a sigh of relief. The whole movie is fast paced, full of comedy at every chance they get and a lot more action than the previous movies. Only downside was the death of a certain character, I won't tell you who but in my husbands words "that was bang out of order". We find out quite quickly into the movie that Marcus had hung up his badge and retired and It's this death that forces marcus and mike back together doing what they do best. A very entertaining movie from beginning to end and one to add to the buy list.
