A Wild & Fun Adventure For The Whole Family!
This a very creative adaptation of the Jumanji series. This time around, the characters are transported inside the game. The writers did an excellent job of portraying the film as though the characters were actually in a video game universe.

The film is packed full of humor. Especially Jack Black's portrayal of a modern teenage girl trapped in the body of a middle-aged man. There are even some jokes designed for the older audience to get a chuckle, making it not only a good film for the family, but fun for adults as well.
  
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I have to say, this final book of the Wolfpack Trilogy really wasn't my style. I enjoyed the story and the plot but I just got disgusted with the sex scenes. Honestly, whenever the sex scenes started my face would just get a permanent "ew" look. <spoiler> Beastiality, knotting, and almost wolf rape etc... </spoiler>

I really did like the premise of the book. The plot was semi unique and there were some things in the book that I wasn't able to predict which was refreshing.

Ultimately, the series was interesting but definitely not my favorite.

Out of fresh ideas
Hard to sat any 5th installment of a series stays fresh. This installment was released only 1 year after part 4 simply because the lead actress was young and they didn't want her to grow up too much.

The result is the same old same old feeling with a lower budget meaning bad lighting and not even good gore effects.

Actress Danielle Harris does a good job keeping the story going at a young age. She even has a tender moment with "Uncle Mike".

Overall, this leg of the franchise is complete and none too soon.

At the end of the previous book ('Ill Wind'), weather warden Joanne Baldwin had died and been reborn as a Djinn (or Genie).

What follows in this not only expands on the background story of that first novel, but is also told from a unique perspective: from the point of view of a Djinn, rather than as a mere mortal. Setting itself up nicely for the next book in the series, I actually found this to be both faster (I read it in two days flat) and more enjoyable than the previous novel - no mean feat as that novel was also a very enjoyable read.

A rhr and book 1 of shifter mates trilogy

Astrid is a fox shifter who finds herself fighting to claim her wolf mate from a black magic witch!

She becomes conflicted when her feelings for another fox shifter collide with her feelings for her wolf.



This is the second series of Crystals you I'm reading. They are shortish books and I tend to get them done in 24/48 hours.

I'm enjoying Crystal Ash Her books flow well and keep you interested. I'm left wanting not after this one I'm looking forward to seeing it develop. I like her use of different shifters. Her characters are interesting.

This took me a long time to get through but that seems to be the norm for me with paperbacks.

I enjoyed reading more of Roarke and Eve, seeing them both growing more comfortable with each other and their love; the lengths they'd go to to protect each other. I love them as a couple.

I had no real idea as to who would have killed the women but I did think the person was a little iffy. I only figured it out about the same time as Eve did.

I look forward to reading more of this series at some point but not just yet.
