"There are a lot of people right now who are toying with the idea of mystery — Lady Gaga, for example — but M.I.A. is an actual enigma. She's self-aware and toys with the notion of "Who am I?" She's actually singing about something meaningful, but she's putting it in the context of dance and rap. It's like looking at a bunch of bicycle reflectors; you're just not sure what's actually going on. But that's good."

Lady of Thorns (Two Thrones #3) by Nicola M. Cameron
Lady of Thorns is the third book in the Two Thrones series, and we focus on two characters we met in the previous book. Amelie and Alain are about as opposite as you can get - noble-born and street rat who has worked hard and got himself a career. However, their births play no part as the sparks fly between these two. They are evenly matched in intelligence, wit, and humour. And then, through Amelie's courage, they find out they are matched in other areas too. With the Harvest Ball coming up, her mother to contend with, and a husband to find, Amelie is happy to take her chances whilst she can. And of course, it doesn't hurt to have a Queen as your best friend!

It was wonderful returning to this world. It is easy to read, and the characters are all superb. It is smoothly written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found. I would have loved to have heard more about Matthias and Danae, but then I am greedy where they are concerned. All in all, this book was thoroughly enjoyable, and completely un-put-downable. Palace of Scoundrels is still my favourite so far, but Lady of Thorns is absolutely recommended in every way.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and my comments here are my honest opinion. *

Lady Georgiana is invited to a castle in Transylvania to be a royal representative at a wedding. But once she gets there, she sees stuff that seems to involve vampires. And that's before someone drops dead. What's really happening? Plenty of fun as always, although the book does have a bit of a slow start.

Original, gruesome and fun!
Director Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots with this awesome flick about a female bank loan officer who has to show some backbone to get promoted and pisses off the wrong old lady.

Without saying too much, you will never predict where the film goes and the unusual circumstances the protagonist heroine finds herself in.

I was skeptical, but this movie rocks.

Please check it out.!
