Dawn Marie (22 KP) rated Resident Evil (2002) in Movies
Jan 21, 2018
I saw this movie originally in the theaters and I walked out so mad. As a fan of the games I was extremely upset that not one main character from the game was in it. After learning that there were reasons behind capcom s decision on that now I look at the movie as more of a prequel. I think the best of the movie series is two but this one as good as a prequel
Merissa (13937 KP) rated Matching Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant #3) in Books
Jan 27, 2020
MATCHING BLOODLINES is the third book in The Princeton Allegiant series, and trust me when I say this series just keeps on getting better and better! Although I would say you "could" read this as a standalone, the better question would be "why?"
At the end of the last book, Francisco (and us) found out that Sophia was alive and also got a location. The start of this book takes us to that location. Poor Francisco. That's all I'm saying. And what the hell is Loren thinking? He's got his mate so he should have some idea of what it is he's saying!!!
I am sincerely loving this world. It gets more amazing with every book. Francisco really shines in this, showing the reader just how caring (and possessive) a vampire can be about his mate. Charlotte has a hard choice to make. Well, hard for her, at any rate. The attraction between them is off the charts and I loved every moment of it. Sophia is playing a game and I really don't like her. Just saying!
If I could do half stars, this would definitely be a 4 1/2, but I can't so it's not. Do NOT let that put you off though. I sincerely recommend this book and the series, and I really can't wait to continue. But who is next? Is it Reese or Victor? Either way, I'm ready and waiting.
A fantastic story and highly recommended by me.

Merissa (13937 KP) rated The Dark Heart (Indulgence #4) in Books
Jan 23, 2025
THE DARK HEART is the fourth book in the Indulgence series and MUST be read in order.
After the ending of book three that nearly had me committing Kindle-ocide, we start with this instalment. One thing has become clear - Adom and Terah will do anything to be with the other - even take on another god!
This is a series I will be re-reading just as soon as the series is finished, just so I can enjoy it without any cliffhangers. I did find it a little hard to get back into as it's been some time since I read The Blood Chain, BUT once I was back on track, the pages flew by.
This series has more layers than Shrek's onion and you never know where the next betrayal or surprise will come from. The growth in all the characters, not just Adom and Terah (although their growth is spectacular!), and seeing Terah's family standing together was outstanding.
This is a complex and intricate world, blending cars and phones with science-fantasy that I am thoroughly enjoying and HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I can't wait for The Crimson Throne!

Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Caillou Plays Hockey in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Another contribution from this bright, familiar series. this book can quickly become a favourite and whilst this one is particular to the holiday season, Caillou has several different adventures for your child to pick up.
With this instalment we find Caillou getting all kitted up for his first training sessions in Ice-hockey, but as is often the case, he wants to run before he can walk and only with his fathers help can he see that practice is needed to progress. A lovely moral, a great message for our youngest and bright colourful presentation as well, what's not to love.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Renewed Spirits (Wiccan Haus, #18) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first I have read in this series but it is certainly not the last. I thought this was going to be another cliche romance story involving a female wronged by a man for a stupid reason and a man tired of meaningless sex. Honestly it would have been if the author wasnÂ’t such a good storyteller. I enjoyed both the characters and environment. Their love story was a delight, reading their journey of learning what they need rather than what they think they need.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent in Books
Jul 12, 2018
Oh man, I did not think I was going to like this book as much as I did. First off, I love dragons. They're some of my favorite mythical creatures so naturally this book intrigued me. I have to say, I really loved this book. The characters were strong & I could easily relate to them. Isabella was a fun character to watch grow. Her tenacity was admirable & I kept rooting for her. The plot was unique & kept me guessing which I really appreciated.
All in all, I loved the character growth & I will definitely continue on in this series.

This is yet another book from a list on BookLikes called "Books to Fall in Love with". Some of them I have fallen in love with, some not so much and this is one of the latter.
I think it might have been down to the simplicity of the story after the two previous very complicated books i read before it. This didn't really engage me at all. The storyline was kinda cliche and rather boring compared to the previous two and i dont think cowboys do anything for me anymore.
I won't be reading any more of this series.

Erika (17789 KP) rated A Discovery of Witches - Season 1 in TV
Apr 6, 2019 (Updated Apr 6, 2019)
I am a huge fan of this books series, it's one of my favorites. I debated not watching this series because I had heard from one of my good friends that the first episode was super lame, and then I saw the reviews...But, I bit the bullet and signed up for the free week of Shudder... The US distribution of this series was beyond irritating.
I felt like the series tried to appeal to both people who didn't read the books, and the ones that did, and I don't really think it worked. There were weird, unnecessary changes from the book, that didn't even really make sense... Marcus can't sire? Since when? Dude had a vampire army at one point... Normally, I try to distance the comparison between books and the adaptation, but you had to read the books to fill in the blanks.
The series is beautifully shot, but then we get to the corn factor. This show was SO LAME and CORNY, but I kind of liked it. I watched it all last evening, and ripped on it endlessly with one of my friends, but I still enjoyed it. I laughed out loud at how bad/corny certain moments were.
I do have to completely rip on Teresa Palmer, homegirl is not a good actress. It was a very Twilight performance, like others have mentioned, the open mouth breathing bothers the F out of me. Her American accent wasn't right, seriously, she said the word vampire like Sookie from True Blood.
I'm also wondering why Matthew Goode took the role of Matthew, it was super confusing to me when he was first announced. At the very least, he's nice to look at, and this made me want to go watch Chasing Liberty.
Overall, this was hilariously lame, but I'll still watch the next series, and probably will watch it again in the background before my free week ends.

Georgina DeBurca (2 KP) rated Paranormal Protection Agency (Paranormal Protection Agency, #1 - #5) in Books
Jan 29, 2018
I'm Not going to reveal any spoilers. This book features books 1-5 of the Paranormal protection agency series by Mina Carter.
My overall impression: It was an extremely well written and well thought out series. The stories are quick reads but in my opinion that is a good thing. Especially for women who have lots they have to do such as working and looking after the kids. I would have plowed through this in one day if not for my children, but it's fine because I can get to the end of a part and put it down and come back to it.
The characters were amazing to meet. The men were strong and domineering. The women were sometimes equally as strong but just needed a bit of brute strength in assistance.
The love scenes were hot hot hot. The men sexy, the women wanton. I loved it.
I'd definitely advise you buy this and read it. You won't be disappointed.
