Merissa (13950 KP) rated Catching the Dragon's Heart (Heartstone Rescue #2) in Books

Nov 5, 2023

CATCHING THE DRAGON'S HEART is the second book in the Heartstone Rescue series.

Eyv finds out his betrothal is being broken in favour of his younger brother. In anger, he bites off the hand of his 'beloved.' In return, his father crushes his heartstone and Evy gets sentenced to death. Nice, huh?! Durango is Boone's brother and one of the dragons sent to rescue Eyv. Their attraction is pretty much instant, but they have to cope with the whole, you know, dying part of not having a heartstone.

This was a great addition to the series but I would recommend reading it as a series rather than a standalone. It is full of characters we met in the first book, as well as new ones. There are also more rescues so that ramps up the political situation too.

Lake's story was perfect for him and Boone, just as this one is perfect for Eyv and Durango. I love their family and can't wait to see what happens next for them.

Definitely recommended by me.

It cost a fortune to heat this place

A treasury plane carrying a 100 million dollars is attempted to be hijacked in flight ends up dumping 3 cases worth of cash in the mountains in Colorado. The team of Hijackers (lithgow) are stranded and can't even fathom on how to look for the money call for help from mountain rescue played by Stallone and Rooker. It ends of being a race on who gets to the money to either steal or prevention of getting it. Lots of action and I great scary opening that sets the pace for the movie.

Movie Rating

As a massive fan of war movies I was expecting a lot from this one.
Unfortunately throughout the varied and bloody action I felt a disconnect that somehow pulled me away from the story and made the whole story seem bland.
Mel Gibson was as usual good but not great here and as stated the action was ok, however the only connection I felt was with the helicopter medic and the trauma he suffers making the many heroic sorties to rescue the injured.
Overall not a bad film, I just cannot recommend it based upon my viewing thoughts.

Thunderbirds are go!

Thunderbirds is a great cooperative game that has elements of Pandemic and X-Com.

Players take on the role of international rescue and work to prevent disaters occuring around the world (and in space) Meanwhile the Hood works to sabotage the players.

Players move vehicles and character's around the board to bring the right equipment into play and then try to resolve the disasters with a dice role.

There are sevral difficulty levels and the expaniosns work well together.
