This was a verry good movie special effects wise .i liked the movie but seemed like the script and the actors wernt on the same page.this movie feels like it was thrown together after they figured out the special effects.over all i did like it.but the actors all seem like there was no actual feelings allowed .this movie lacked the sadness and drama it should have had .even the bad guy didnt protray much feeling .thats where this went wrong except for rhiannas charcter there was little to no feelings at all.verry dead pan .maybe im wrong but somethings off on the conection.

I don't even know what to say. Victoria's got me in a book funk! I had so many mixed emotions while reading this, I honestly didn't know what to feel. I can tell you that sadness and anger were the 2 prominent emotions. Part of me feels bad for Mare, but a part of me just wants to knock her upside the head and put some sense into her. She's so bitter and cold - honestly, I hate to say it, but I don't think I'd be upset if there isn't an HEA... I believe she's too traumatized to actually live a full life if she even survives.

A dark, compelling read.
I went through many feelings whilst reading this......sadness, anxiety, disbelief to name a few. It's hard to think of being many floors up and not being safe.
Although this happened years ago it still makes you stop and realise that things like this still happen. The thought of knowing a serial killer, being friendly with one, sends a shiver down my spine. How Mike, and the others, dealt with that afterwards, well, it's a testament to their inner strength.
I like how all the details thread together and the way things are easy to understand without being overly technical.

Bleak but beautifully written
I bawled while reading this as a child, especially reading this horrendously bleak tale. Orphan Oliver Twist escapes a rundown orphanage and workhouse only to live in further poverty at the hands of a terrible thief, who exploits young children to do his bidding. Oliver, a very simple and innocent boy, moves from one place to another in order to survive the harsh streets of early 19th century England.
It literally is a never-ending saga of one horrific incident after another, highlighting Dickens' strong views about how children were treated during Victorian times. And while there is a bittersweet ending, it leaves you with a feeling of deep sadness for these lost children.

This book was not meant to be an easy fluffy read. This book is going to bring out ferocity, anger, pain, and sadness. It is wonderfully written and beautifully poetic. Each character has a back story that unfolds in ways you arent expecting. You root for one side then switch as you find out more and more.
While I began with a dislike of the main character I think that was supposed to happen? As the book progresses she got less naive.
Perfect for fans of fantasy, retribution, and magic. But be forewarned that this book will destroy you with each page and require some serious reflection before you can move on.

Wow, so this one I was kind of iffy about when I asked to read it, but wanted to give it a good try and it sounded interesting. I really enjoyed it.. the first like 10% went a little bit slow for me but then it picked up amazingly and everything got super interesting. The action, the love, the sadness and everything inbetween that happened had me up until 2am finishing reading it. Very good and I cannot wait to read the next ones. I am hoping there will be books for each of the ladies and the guys :) Very happy the author let me read it for review

This story was very well done. The characters made me like them.. I laughed several times while reading this and it kept me interested enough that I had to keep reading and miss sleep so that I could finish it. I loved that it wasn't an easy love. It had a lot of complex emotions involved in this. The sadness from Brett devastated me.. and then when he started feeling and had no idea what to do with it. JT was just adorable and amazing. He understood.. he accepted. and he made Brett become who he needed to be. They had a rough go but got it together. I really enjoyed this
