Siren ( The Prophecy book 4)
By Jessica Wayne

Her insecurities will be her downfall.

Anastasia Carter has spent her entire life fighting one war or another. After two years of peace in Terrenia, she is having trouble letting go of the voice inside her head that is telling her the battle is far from over.

When a new enemy rises and sets their sights on Dakota, Anastasia must risk it all to save the life of her husband.

Even if it means losing everything she fought to save.

At first I didn’t know what to think I mean she could have really ended it on the happy ending it was with Vincent dead!
Saying that I’m so glad she didn’t!! I absolutely love this world Jessica has written I love the characters and this book was full of emotion. If I had to critique one thing it will be the whole Elizabeth hiding who she was it kinda annoyed me a little that after discovering where Ana was and the person she was that Elizabeth kept quiet about her and Dekota! I have to say I absolutely went from hating Vincent to really liking him! Also what an ending!

Awix (3310 KP) rated Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) in Movies

May 27, 2020 (Updated Aug 2, 2020)

Second Hellraiser sequel and the first no-two-ways-about-it lousy one. Chief bondage demon Pinhead has been stripped of the limitations constraining his unpleasant recreational activities, which he likes, but also turned into a piece of interior decoration, which he doesn't. He endeavours to get himself released while a plucky young journalist tries to figure out why people keep turning up skinned or lacerated by flying chains.

A Hellraiser movie made with an American sensibility and for a mainstream American audience - one almost gets the sense the writers think they're making a Nightmare on Elm Street movie. The first half, with Pinhead stuck in a pillar, is not too bad, but they have to let him out eventually at which point the film's IQ and sense of restraint both vanish. Too much lazy gore and silly action (rubbish Cenobites wandering around New York City fighting the police). Doug Bradley just about saves the movie from being completely worthless, as he manages to chew the scenery even while being part of it; Terry Farrell was better in Star Trek. The occasional interesting idea or image but the film's main achievement is making the first two look better than they actually are.
