"“I think ‘Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude’ is one of my favourite lines ever written. ‘Days of speed and slow time Mondays / Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday’ – all that stuff, man. ‘Opening the windows and breathing in petrol.’ That was my life; we lived right by the gas station. I was like, ‘This sucks. I gotta get out of here.’ The song summed it all up perfectly. And it was all played on an acoustic guitar. I’d always look at the way that The Jam dressed, too. I’d say to myself, ‘Someday, I’m gonna be able to buy me them mod clothes, man.’ I still can’t afford them mod clothes, but whatever. I do my best! Anyway, after that was when I started getting into all the Sub Pop bands, like The Afghan Whigs."

4.5 stars.

I was wary of reading this as I'm not the biggest fan of erotica but WOW! That is hardly what this book is about. More like coming to terms with abuse through "the lifestyle" aka BDSM.

I wasn't sure what was happening early on but boy did I get drawn into this story. I know that it wont be for everyone but I was drawn into the mystery of figuring how they knew each other and who Master Ez was.

Yes, there is sex but it's not OTT like in a lot of other erotica and there is a really strong plotline to it. One I need to continue ASAP (Maybe like RIGHT NOW since I just bought book 2 in the series!!)

P.S. It could do with a little editing as there are words missing and wrong words in places.

First thing I have to say is the cover really put me off. I expected it to be some sort of paranormal romance, when currently I'm into my Urban Fantasy Romance's, where the romance part doesn't take up most of the story and happens as a sort of product of them being thrown together to fight whatever evil they have to face together. Well, this was more of an Urban Fantasy Romance, thank God.

The world building was very interesting and the Prime's of this world; terrifying. It was like they were missing some integral part of their psyche where they fought killing people who annoyed them was acceptable. But Mad Rogan had some redeemable qualities in the end and I grew to really like him.

I cannot wait to see what happens next with these two.

Aspiring actor Greg Sestero meets a mysterious man named Tommy Wiseau in his acting classes with Jean Shelton. Hoping to achieve Hollywood stardom, Sestero moves to Los Angeles and signs on to appear in his buddy's project. Financed with his own money, Wiseau writes, directs and stars in "The Room," a critically maligned movie that becomes a cult classic.

There isn't a lot to say about this one. I mainly only went to see it because some people were raving about it. This for me is skirting the fine line of "based on a true story" and reality TV. I cannot watch reality TV, I find it physically distressing watching anything that awkward. That being said, I don't feel like I was missing out on much in this film, and no one else in the cinema seemed to be enjoying it either.
