"... I think it was called the bus that couldn't slow down"
That quote is, of course, from the incomparable Homer Simpson. Full quote something along the lines of:

"I saw this movie once about a bus that had to SPEED around the city, keeping it's SPEED above 50, and if it's SPEED dropped below 50, it would blow up! I think it was called ..."

Which is a pretty accurate synopsis of the movie as a whole, which stars a post-Bill and Ted (apart for the newest one)/pre-The Matrix Keanu Reeves, and a very early appearance by the future queen of the rom-com Sandra Bullock.

The film has 3 main acts: terrorist attempt to blow up an elevator, the bus bit (which is most of the movie) and finishing off in the subway. Truth be told, it may perhaps run only slightly too long as a result.

Still well worth a watch, though!

Queen of Light (The Chosen #4)
By Meg Anne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Only one of them can win.

Kiri Helena Solene is done burying her loved ones. She is going to put an end to this war, one way or another.

Even if it means she loses herself in the process.

But in matters of war, Rowena has no intention of losing. The Corruptor knows Helena's greatest strength is also her weakness, and she has every intention of exploiting it.

Especially if that means removing key players from the board.

The path ahead is fraught with betrayal. The only thing that's certain....

It won't end until one of them is dead.


Couldn’t have asked for a better ending! Also we had a happy start instead of one with death! Was so lovely to see nial get his make. I won’t say much because I wouldn’t want to spoil the end! I’m certainly ready to move on to the Keepers stories.

Revenge
By Martina Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️

He thought he was invincible. He was wrong.

REVENGE by the 'undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian) and Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Martina Cole is an unflinching novel that exposes a world that many would rather ignore...

Michael Flynn is untouchable. He's the boss of a dangerous empire, the biggest the criminal world has ever seen. No one crosses him, no one gets in his way, and everyone does what he says - including the law.

But you don't get to where Michael is without making enemies. Someone is out for revenge. And it's best served when least expected.

I liked this but it wasn’t my favourite of hers I found some of it too similar to some of her other stories and yes I know she has a type and way of writing but this wasn’t as good as those she’s written before. Although it was brutal and possibly more so than others.
