Suspenseful romance

This was a suspenseful romance that was a fairly quick but also an easy and satisfying read. Livvy's fiance went missing and she hired someone used to Columbia to help her find Alec. Thomas was the professional but slightly shady companion and protector.

The whole time in Columbia was great reading, it was twisty and unpredictable; the pages just flew by. The final twist could have been stronger but I was here for the culmination, even if it was a little convenient. A great, quick read.

I love anthologies. Especially ones that don't have to go with the rest of the series just expands upon the universe. Unlike some you have to read or you know you're missing something crucial between books 3 and 4( for example). There are spoilers in this anthology however Patricia Briggs does a good job letting you know and where the stories fit inside the Mercy and Alpha and Omega universe. My favorite is the Ben story Redemption out of all her characters he has the most personal growth.

The Grudge's Ring II

The Grudge 2- is a decent sequel, if you like the first one, than you will like this one. This one is scary, horrorfying and spooky. Not to mention creepy.

The Plot: A young woman (Amber Tamblyn) encounters a terrible curse while searching for her missing sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Tokyo. The evil imprecation fills its victims with murderous rage, but it also brings together the diverse group to unlock its secret and save their lives.

Overall it is a good movie and a decent sequel.

Silence is golden

I've heard great things about this after missing at the cinema as the premise didn't really grab me at first. It's a unique, original horror film with barely any dialogue! The creatures do look good but it's the human emotions that rise up in the film that leave a lasting impression. Only down side is it is a bit short with a very simple plot. The ending could have been a little better as well. Overall though a great original horror that scares with built up tension.

Could not get into it. (0 more)

Kawai!

Loved the animation, and the concept is great, I just could not get into it. I think I may have been pregnant at the time, so struggled with a lot of watching, it was a dark time...
I can tell that a lot of people will and do l9ve it, it clearly has a lot going for it, but it's probaly not 'easy watching' as it seems to have more subtle depth that I am missing.

Will give it another go soon and update this review.

Just checking in to see how everyone is getting on with this whole coronavirus mess? How're things in your local area?

Cinemas closed here as of tomorrow, theatres shut yesterday (was meant to be seeing Back to the Future musical tonight & I'm devastated I'm missing out! 😩 ) and I'm working from home for the foreseeable future. The only plus side to all this means I might be able to catch up on all the books, films and tv shows on Netflix & Amazon, and not to mention the DIY & gardening...

In NY, schools are all closed, most restaurants only do drive thru. Everyone has gone crazy. The only places open are grocery stores and most are out of toilet paper and cleaning supplies.

No toilet paper, soap, rice, pasta, bread, eggs the list goes on here in the U.K. and one report I saw said they couldn't get cat food!!

Try to keep well everyone...
