ArecRain (8 KP) rated The Inheritance Murders in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
A difficult read to get into. While I enjoy a good plot/mystery with erotica, I felt I had trouble staying focused on this novel. It was easy for me to put it down and step away and not be hounded by the usual what happens next? As whole, it was an enjoyable read even if it was a bit hard to follow. The characters were interesting to say the least and the erotic scenes were decent. Following a pretty graphic erotic novel, the scenes in this story seemed tame. I think I was just hoping for something more raunchy?

Damn good and entirely satisfying
Every time I read reviews from this movie I always see men saying that they feel kind of sorry for the pedophile(though ultimately got what he deserved) in this movie and it blows my mind, because throughout the entire movie I found myself rooting for Hayley a 14-year-old girl who has taken to hunting down the pedophiles who had something to do with the disappearance rape and murder of another young girl.
Ellen Page plays Hayley so perfect that even through the most graphic scenes she holds this innocence about her that just makes her performance all the more effective.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2526 KP) rated Tilt-a-Whirl (John Ceepak Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Danny, a seasonal cop in a Jersey shore town, has been partnered with Ceepak, ex-military and very by the book. The two take the call of a murder on the boardwalk's tilt-a-whirl. A billionaire was shot while his daughter was on the ride next to him. Who could have done it? Definitely darker and more graphic than I normally read, the twists and very real characters kept me turning pages. I love this series still, and it's wonderful to see how the characters grow as the series progresses.

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Anomaly in Books
Jun 19, 2018
The publisher is selling this book hard, comparing it to the X-Files, Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and Dan Brown (ew). This novel is about a dude who has a youtube show to seek out different truths and whatnot, basically, a tinge of Ancient Aliens with some Tomb Raider thrown in there.
There was also an indication that this might be somewhat of a horror, though it wasn't, I've read more graphic descriptions of death in a Jo Nesbo novel.
The book took a little bit to get going, but after it did, I demolished it in two 150 page reading stretches. This book is officially released 19 June 2018.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Herding Cats (Sarah's Scribbles, #3) in Books
Jul 12, 2018
First things first... I love Sarah Andersen. She has a wonderful way of showing what anxiety, depression, and introversion is. It's completely refreshing to find a graphic novel with a character that I relate to so deeply.
Herding Cats is hilarious, and relatable. I spent my time reading this and laughing. I related so much to these cartoons I thought for a second that Sarah Andersen was stalking me and based her story off of me. It was that scarily accurate.
All in all, this is a book that most people will be able to relate to and love.
*I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Aug 10, 2018 (Updated Aug 10, 2018)
This Netflix "teen drama" original isn't so original. It's basically a modern day "Fatal Attraction" (showing my age? Lol) with high schoolers. It wasn't too bad, though. The acting was decent enough and the cinematography is on par with many modern movies. Nothing too graphic in this but has some mild sexual content and violence. I found myself asking the same question I always do with movies like this.... Why aren't the characters a little more honest and a little smarter? Lol. Guess it wouldn't be very dramatic and definitely wouldn't last long enough to be a movie. Overall I'd say it's worth a watch if you can't find much else.
