This is a different take on vampires in modern day. This book was published when vampire novels/movies were the big thing. It was more about the family, with vampirism thrown in. I liked the way the chapters were broken up, and the story was great.
This book ended my 3 book Matt Haig reading streak, and I think this was my favorite of the three. I definitely can recommend this one.

My rating is 3.5 stars for Forbidden Lovers by Kimberly Troutte. Ms. Troutte is a new to me author and while I felt this book had some good bones, it failed to grab my attention completely.
Matt Harper is returning home to Plunder Cove after leaving, without a choice, 10 years ago to join the Air Force. He left behind his fiancée, who rapidly remarried (supposedly) 3 months after he left, estranged parents and a home comparable to a compound.
Julia Espinoza lost the love of her life when her fiancé was killed when his plane was shot down in Afghanistan 10 years ago. She doesnt know her mother and has lived with extended family since she was small. She isnt wealthy like Matt was but he never seemed to care. She never got to say goodbye when he left, but he left her the most precious gift of all before he enlisted.
Matt returns home after being summoned by his father, along with his siblings, to some big announcement. Reconnecting with Julia, who at first doesnt recognize him believing he was dead, was an added bonus. Will they be able to pick up right where they left off?
While this story was interesting there was just too much I didnt like about it. Mostly, the flow and sentence structures. For me, it was too jumbled and while it was short it was very unnecessarily wordy. I voluntarily downloaded a copy from Netgalley without expectation for review. Any and all opinions expressed are my own.

Excellent all round
I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading reports that over 100 people walked out of the cinema at the movie’s premiere screening... The film is not for the squeamish but I felt the gruesome nature of the film was perfectly balanced by a gripping storyline, and excellent performances, especially from Matt Dillon. I was totally engaged all through the movie, and felt it was a perfect example of how a movie should be made.
Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Tales From The Backseat by The Academic in Music
Feb 13, 2018
A solid debut packed with indie rock thrills...
The debut album from Irish four-piece The Academic is brimming with energy and potential. The band, singer Craig Fitzgerald, drummer Dean Gavin, and brothers Matt and Stephen Murtagh, guitar and bass respectively, have been building up a following across the Irish Sea since forming as teenagers in 2013.

Oct 31, 2019 (Updated Oct 31, 2019)
A True Brit Gem...
From the jarring intense sound of a car smash followed by opening title I was in... A bonafide True British Gem with all the hallmarks of a true Seat of your chair Psychological Thriller begging the question "what wouldn't you do?". Tense powerful performance from leading man Matt Hookings surrounded by a top notch supporting cast, In this beautifully crafted, gorgeously shot and expertly executed independent must see movie... It's a strong Recommend from me!!!
David McK (3248 KP) rated Jason Bourne (2016) in Movies
Mar 5, 2020
Matt Damon returns to the role of the amnesiac Jason Bourne - following the underwhelming The Bourne Legacy - now living in hiding and prize-fighting for a living.
However, when ex-CIA operative Nicky Parson's tracks him down (Julia Stiles, and I was rather surprised at one scene featuring her!), he's pulled back into the fray, uncovering more details about his past along the way in a plot that takes in (takes on?) the concept of Government Surveillance.

MaryAnn (14 KP) rated Argosy Junction in Books
Mar 5, 2019
I want nothing to do with Jesus or God.” After over twenty years of abuses from the cult-like church she grew up in, Lane Argosy has had it with God and His people. Though the Brethren try to make Lane and her family’s lives unbearable, freedom from their warped brand of Christianity is sweet. She’ll never go back… never. He just wanted to visit the country he’d explored through books. So, when Matt Rushby arrives in Argosy Junction, Montana, he expects idyllic meadows and craggy rocks towering above, old-fashioned friendliness and at least one or two cowboys. Instead, he finds familiar hatred and factions very much like the ones back home in Rockland’s inner-city gangs. The Argosy family is disillusioned, broken, and floundering. Matt knows the answer is Jesus—just Him and not the trappings of a faith He never designed. But how can Matt help them turn their hearts back to the Lord when he suspects Lane has stolen his?
My Thoughts: Lane Argosy isn't like every other girl you would meet,; and that's just what Matt Rushby found out when he stuck in a field of "ferocious" sheep. This was an interesting book to read. Not only was it a romance novel, set in Montana, but it's also a story about how some churches can become toxic to its members. It deals with how pride can come into our lives and not only hurt us but other people as well. It's a good reminder to always go to the Bible when in doubt about teachings in the church.
It's also a reminder that God is always there waiting for us no matter how far we stray from Him, that He is a forgiving father. It's also about forgiving others. Prayer is a great tool, and we should always turn to God in prayer over everything in our lives, big or small.
The characters are enjoyable and entertaining in this novel, the author really brings them to life for the reader and the added humor is something I enjoyed. This is a novel that all ages can and will enjoy!

I've been wanting to see this movie all year and I'm glad I did. Am a fan of Edgar wright's movie from shaun of the dead to Scott pilgrim vs the world but this one is his attempt at straight horror and it is brilliant movie. Everything about it the music I can't get downtown out of my head the two leads are Brilliant Anna Taylor- joy can't do no wrong and thomasin mckenzie as elloise just as exceptional also got to mention the suppling cast matt Smith big fan since doctor who days good but I mustn't forget Diana Rigg in her last role who was such a 60s icon who will be missed. There is so much about this movie the 60s setting London itself the way they cut between the actress by showing them in the mirror at the same time. Overall I would say this is one of Edgar wright's best works highly recommend go out and see it also contender for my film of the year
