Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) in Movies

Dark Scary Stories
This movie was very good, i jumped couple of times. I thought this movie was rated R, because of some of the death sences, cut to the first one. But it turns out its PG-13 and man oh man that first death sence was terrorfying and horrorfying. Guilmoro Del Toro only produces this film, but i wish he also directed. He knows how to make monsters scary and make monsters look terrorfying. I didnt read the short horror series of books. So i went in not knowing anything. I do want to read then know, because of this movie.
I would highly reccordmend going to see this film because it is very good.

One of my favorite book series
This book series is so under-rated! It's got a great story line and is an all around great young adult read. Just a little background, a girl gets moved from Illinois to Georgia because her dad got a better job. On top of not knowing many people, weird things start happening to her she then gets help from a lady in town to use her new gift. When she teams up with a few kids from school they become a great team in helping the lost souls in her historic new town.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated The Temple of Indra's Jewel in Books
Feb 21, 2018
The Temple of Indras Jewel is the first book in the Time Traveling Bibliophile series.
A potion meant to help Princess Sapphira communicate with the future somehow pulls Sophia back through time. As Sophia struggles to understand what has happened to her, she realizes that Sapphira had been in danger. Since everyone believes her to be Princess Sapphira, she is now in danger herself. She also finds that Sapphira left behind several suitors, not all of whom have honorable intentions. This was a fun read, and Im looking forward to the rest of the series.

Second of a series set (so far) in the late 1950s in coastal Devon. Main protagonist is a female reporter for a local newspaper but has a past life in wartime naval intelligence.
I read the first book in the series a couple of weeks back and this one I received via Goodreads.
I enjoyed both stories, but I didn't think they were really great either in the way they were written or in the construction of the mystery plot. They were enjoyable enough books, but not quite so good that I want to hang on to them to read again.

Disappointing. Very short.
This book was ok. I understand it is part of a series but it was very short and not that much happened. It didn't make me want to read the rest of the books in the series.
It is a genre of book that I would normally read and I am disappointed.
There were a few spelling issues and incorrect words which again was disappointing.
I didn't really get to know the characters as the book was so short.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

It had been a while (8 months) since I read books 1 and 2 in the series and had forgotten some of what went on but I remembered more and more as I read this, though not everything.
It's a nice conclusion to the series, though a pity that we had to lose more characters that we'd gotten to know over the three books. Nobody too major!
Perry and Aria and Roar and the rest of the Tides deserve a happy ending after going through what they have in the trilogy and I enjoyed reading their story.

David McK (3632 KP) rated Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, #11) in Books
Aug 27, 2021
Another excellent entry in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series: better than the one before it (Small Favour), but not the best entry in the series as a whole.
This time, Dresden must uncover who has framed Warden Morgan - formerly his chief prosecutor on the White Council - and see if he can uncover the traitor within the ranks of that body.
By the end of the novel, the world (as a whole) has become a somewhat shadier place: how do you know what the right thing to do is, when there is no clear-cut right or wrong?

Well I read this book directly after finishing the first in the series because it was really that good. As it usually goes with series though, this installment wasn't as good as the original. But that's not at all to say that it wasn't a good read.
The same characters are included in this book with the addition of thru Grey Man, aka Mr. Grey...a hit man who had been hired to hunt down & retrieve the Greywarren for his boss. The ley line is losing its juice. Gansey is no closer to discovering Glendower. Blue & Adam are still dancing around each other.
The story took a bit longer to really get going in this book. Once it did however, it grabs the reader just like the first book did. It will be interesting to see what path the third books takes us down...

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Beauty, Beast, and Belladonna (Fairy Tale Fatal Mystery, #3) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Beauty, Beast, and Belladonna is the 3rd book in the Fairy Tale Fatal series, set in 1867. I love cozies and historical fiction, and this story was a wonderful mix of the two. Variety hall actress Ophelia Flax finds herself at a hunting party in France, pretending to be someone she is not, and trying to figure out how to avoid getting herself married to the Compte de Griffe. When an unexpected guest turns up dead after a string of petty thefts, she must try to find both the thief and the killer to get herself out of more than one entanglement. I absolutely loved the colorful characters, the time period, and the setting in this story. I plan on going back soon to read this series from the start!
