Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 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.

Book Rating

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.

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.

Movie Rating

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.
