"I love Banana to bits, but the third one is my favourite, it’s the one that I play more. I don’t know exactly what it is about it. I bought their albums in order, but there was something about ‘Candy Says’ and ‘Jesus’ – maybe because I’d just got the White Light/White Heat album I wanted proper songs, and he delivered big time on this one. Even ‘Murder Mystery’ I like. I’m not the biggest John Cale fan, his voice gets on my wick. It was just at the time that Ziggy ended, it almost broke my heart. I had these magical split-second things – it was like being in love, but with someone from Venus, and then Lou came along and I knew he would get me through it."

Pride Mates ( shifters Unbound book 1)
By Jennifer Ashley


Defense attorney Kim Fraser has to venture into the dark and dangerous Shiftertown to get answers for a client accused of murder, but the secrets she learns from the enticing lips of Liam Morrissey might just get her killed if the lion shifter doesn't claim her for his mate.


This had been in my Tbr pile for so long and I finally got round to it. So glad I did! Having those shifters all collared up is pretty brutal! I enjoyed her take on shifter life it had a strong story and strong characters. I’m looking forward to seeing the new little shifter and finding how they all develop with the change in leadership! Definitely one for shifter lovers!!
  
I'm not going to lie, I hardcore DNF this book after suffering through 30-ish%. It was advertised as being about a murder at Harvard, and that it may have been a professor. That sounded so interesting.
But no, I got a semi-autobiographical book about the paranoid, slightly-off her rocker author. She re-enrolls at Harvard, takes said professor's classes and tries to solve the case.
Surprisingly, that's not this book's biggest problem. The biggest issue with this book, other than being boring AF, is that this case was solved with longer overdue DNA testing... and completely proved the author's theory wrong. However, even though this book was published after, she still continues on her crusade. It was odd that they went ahead and published it, since it was all incorrect, incoherent babbling.

Decent crime thriller
One of the films I missed as it didn't get a long release at the cinema in the UK. Naomie Harris plays a rookie cop in a rundown area of New Orleans. With corrupt cops and gangs working together in the supply of drugs. Soon she is hunted by both through the neighborhood after capturing a murder by the corrupt cops on her bodycam.
Overall it was an enjoyable watch, a little slow at the start and middle section. It had quite a low budget feel to it despite some big cast names. Worth a watch but far from the better films with a similar plotline. @21 Bridges (2019) is one example that had more action.
