Sensual and full of passion, Skye Warren makes it easy to fall head over heels in love with her characters. Blake is no exception; he's sweet and thoughtful, but just mysterious enough to be sexy. Erin is a smart, independent, unusually mature woman who refuses to be a damsel in distress. Their relationship is a turbulent one, yet you can't help but root for them both. I'm excited to read the next book and see how they grow together.

Cute book. I enjoyed how the character had to choose to let go before she was willing to move on. It took more than she thought she was really ready to give. When reading though you have to realize that it's a new adult book and not a book for more mature readers. I think this book could have been even better had they chosen to make this character just a tad bit older. All in all a good book.

Becs (244 KP) rated Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft in Books
Oct 2, 2019
Overall, this was a great read. Some parts were completely terrible while others were absolutely fantastic. I would only reread parts of this novel as certain stories are better than the others but all in all, it’s a 4 star read.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Frozen II (2019) in Movies
Dec 7, 2019 (Updated Jan 22, 2020)
Frozen II is a genuinely fantastic sequel that build on the original in every way.
It's feels more mature for a start. It's still a magical, kid friendly, animated adventure for sure, but the film manages to touch upon subjects such as death, loss, depression, how it's ok to feel angry, and all without veering too far away from a family feature.
The more mature tone comes with more mature animation - and it's really something. The animation is pretty much flawless. The contrasting colour pallets - the icy cold blues and white of Arendelle, to the autumnal greens and oranges of the forest - are all pleasing to look at.
I'm not one for musicals, and I wasn't keen on the songs from the original, but the music in Frozen II is way more tolerable. Well written, and sometimes epic, and that Lost in the Woods song is a banger - the fact that Weezer did a recording of it just earns the movie bonus points in my eyes.
The plot is easy to follow, whilst offering a twist here and there, but the overall message is once again, the importance of family, and the importance of writing wrongs from the last. Interestingly, there is no villain in Frozen II. The focus is purely on the good guys trying to make the world a better place for everyone. It's all rather wholesome.
The characters are all great in their own ways, and the creature designs are fantastic.
I have nothing bad to say about Frozen II. It's a damn solid sequel that easily surpasses the first film. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and listen to Weezer all night.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Created (Talented Saga book 4) in Books
Aug 23, 2018
This is the fourth book in the series and as one acronym’d organisation dies another appears to take its place.
Talia and Erik continue to mature as individuals and together as a couple. It appears they are tired of being told what to do and are going to try and make their own decisions and right and wrong and what needs to happen in their world.
We get more answers in this book, however we still don’t know what will happen in the future.

Yoshi (40 KP) rated Zombies Vs. Unicorns in Books

This is the first book to actually crack me up in years. Even if you don't like all the stories, everyone is bound to find at least a few they enjoy (even if you just read the zombie stories). The zombie stories range from creepy to romantic to just plain hilarious, and because they're short they're a great pick-me-up at the end of the day. Due to the mature nature of some of the stories I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone who has not yet entered high school.

Bad bad bad but watchable
If you are in bed I’ll or just want to flump in front of the TV, then watch this film on Netflix. Your would think it is several years old, but it was made in 2019. The budget must have been minimal because the effects are awful and the aliens, yes it does contains aliens look like Power Rangers if you remember them. Who rated the film because it is rated as mature so what is that a 15? Children would not be scared and would actually laugh at it.
Kristina (502 KP) rated Stolen Innocence (Becoming Elena #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
Imagine my surprise when I saw I had read this before! I can't find the edition I read for the second time. I honestly don't remember any of the story, but I'm not sure if it's because this newest addition had reviews and added chapters or not. Either way, I enjoyed the story of Elena and look forward to seeing what's in store for her - I hope happiness, because this poor girl has been through hell at such a young age. I can't wait to watch her grow and mature, then conquer her life.
