Dean (6927 KP) rated Slasher - Season 1 in TV
Jun 25, 2017 (Updated Jun 14, 2018)
Good killer costume (3 more)
Quite gory
Inventive kills
Lots of twists
A good Slasher series
I can't think of any other serious attempts at making a series of the Slasher genre, I've not seen the Scream one yet. This has a good go at it. Only 8 episodes long. It has a striking masked killer bumping people off in a variety of gory ways in a small town. There are some good twists but some plot lines felt a bit silly. Definitely one for the Slasher fans to check out.

Good story
Addictive
Omg!
I watched the whole 1st series in two days.
Wasn't expecting much from this but I was hooked after the first 10 minutes.
Joe seems like a normal guy meeting a girl at first but it gets really creepy really quick. Not only is he watching her through the window he also has access to her iCloud so can see every conversation between her family and friends.
Can't wait for a second series to see how it continues now his Ex is back.

Surprise
I picked up this book knowing that the series was starting on Netflix. I did not expect to be sucked in and unable to put the book down until I finished three days later nor did I expect to then go out and purchase the rest of the series based solely on the stories and writing of the first book. it is a relatively easy read but still full of interesting characters and stories and I'm looking forward to seeing them fleshed out further.

Kyera (8 KP) rated The Ship of the Dead (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, #3) in Books
Feb 1, 2018
Magnus Chase: Ship of the Dead is the final book in the series that blends Norse mythology with the modern world. Rick Riordan writes in his typical humourous fashion and makes learning fun (even if its not always entirely accurate.) As this is the third and final book in the series, there isnt too much to say that wouldnt spoil the first two books if you have not read them so I would recommend doing so before reading this review. You can also read my review of the first book as it is spoiler-free.
Our heroes continue their journey to postpone Ragnarok and defeat Loki. Magnus is joined by Samirah the Valkyrie, Hearthstone the Elf, Blitzen the Dwarf and his fellow Einherjar Alex, Mallory, TJ and Halfborn. They must battle giants, outwit guardians, and save the world from utter destruction. Just your average Tuesday.
I really enjoyed how diversity was represented in this series as we have main characters with different sexualities or orientations, religions, ethnicities, and disabilities. Since I am not most of the ones that were represented in the book, I can't speak to how accurate the portrayal was but I am glad that they were included. As a casual reader, the representation felt informative and not condescending or demeaning.
Rick continues his world building by sending our heroes off on adventures in the nine realms while simultaneously teaching us a bit about Norse mythology. His books are a very approachable way to tackle the topic and perhaps foster a sense of curiosity that will lead readers to want to discover more. There isn't much else to say without spoilers, so I would recommend this series to middle grade, young adult or teen readers who enjoy fantasy. It is a fun, easy read that I hope you won't regret picking up.

Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Shifter Woods: Growl (Esposito County Shifters #3) in Books
Feb 12, 2023
Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This is book number 3 of the Esposito county shifters series. Although it belongs to a series I feel it can be read as a stand-alone as you can understand what each character is to the story. I haven't read any of the other books in this series but I am interested in looking into reading the others.
I like Nicola as an author whatever she is doing in a story she seems to give with all her heart and make you feel that character's story.
This is a very steamy story with a lot of intimacy so if you blush easily then this is not a book for you! If you don't, go for it! I guarantee you will enjoy! It also has the element of danger and suspense with a bit of magic in there too.
I recommend it highly.

The Vessel (Semiramis, #3) by Maya Daniels
The Vessel is the third book in the Semiramis series, and once again, we continue where we left off. Alexia and her sisters (plus others) are reunited; they still have the tablets to find; and now Alexia is dealing with Lucifer too.
This series has completely enthralled me. I dropped what I was reading, to read this. Trust me, that NEVER happens. I am a monogamist reader!!! Except... I NEEDED to know what happened. Now, I'm not saying this book was perfect (although it came damn near close). Did I have questions at the end? Yes, I did. Did it matter or impact my enjoyment of this book? Absolutely not.
The wit, banter, and love is full throttle in this book, and one of the bits I loved most was when everyone thought Alexia was angry, and instead she was grief stricken. Her explanation was perfect! There are surprises aplenty in this book, and I will admit to crying throughout what felt like three-quarters of the book!!! The characters have drawn me in over the three books - becoming real in my mind. I laughed with them, and so therefore I cried with them too. ?
Now, this is the last book in this trilogy, but it can't be the end. It simply can't. I refuse to admit it. I NEED more, like at least another three book set! I won't say anymore as I don't want to give out any spoilers, but read it for yourself, and you'll see what I mean.
I have loved this #Fantasy #Romance series, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending either this book, or the series.
