This is the box set of novellas 1-4 in the Shadow Touch series. The reader follows Ellie and Cam as they learn to come to terms with Ellie's Shadow and Cam's gift. The stories flow from one book to the other, giving continuity to the storyline and characters. Although Cam changes and grows within this set, the character who grows the most is Ellie. She goes from strength to strength and yet is constantly underestimated by those around her, including Cam.

With an interesting storyline and excellent world-building, this is a set very different from anything of Erin Kellison's that I have read before. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would like to return to this world at some point.

This has been a wonderful series so far, but this instalment blew the others out of the water. In this novella, we get the story of Tenebris and how Galia, Mina, and Strayke end up there, and what becomes of them once they are there. The majority of this story is told about the past, with Gillian, Mathias, and Shayne only making a brief appearance at the end.

This certainly fills in the holes that Gillian has had in her 'memory', whilst giving the reader a front-row seat in their history. Exceedingly well-written, with characters that jump out of the page to you. With no editing or grammatical errors that I found, this is an excellent addition to the Hollow City Coven series, and definitely recommended.

In a fast-paced ghost story, Kami is ecstatic that her friend Mona has returned home from university. Kami is bi and has always liked Mona, but has been afraid to say anything. Now she decides that is enough is enough, and tells her. This leads to some girl-on-girl action before they move off to a different location.

This is only a short story so it's really not worth me giving you the whole rundown on the story as you may as well read it for yourself! It is steamy and mysterious with a twist that is obvious once you've read it, but you would never see it coming.

Absolutely recommended for a quick (dark) read.

David McK (3721 KP) rated Avengers: Endgame (2019) in Movies

"We're in the Endgame now ..."

The culmination of over a decade of Marvel movies and a direct continuation of Infinity War, this is the film that wraps up what will more than likely become known as The Infinity Stones saga.

It's also quite hard ton discuss without giving anything away: while we all knew that time travel would be a part of the movie (especially given the introduction of the Time Stone in Dr Strange), that did not play out exactly as I thought it would.

Personally, I also thought it spent too long dealing with the effects of Thanos' snap: yes, wiping out half of life would have a profound impact on those left behind, but did we need to go through them all one-by-one? All that served to do, really (IMO) is make an already long film even longer!

A good film, yes, but - for me, at least - it never quite hits the height of the preceding Infinity War.
