Well, I'll Be Damned
I read the synopsis for Damnation when it was first released and it didn't grab me at all. A show about a farmer's strike just sounded extremely boring to me. Then I saw the trailer and decided to give the show a chance and I'm glad I did.
The show moves at a decent pace and tells the story of two brothers both masquerading as something they are not. The way that the show develops is interesting and keeps you hooked until the end of the season.
Unfortunately it was recently announced that Netflix aren't going ahead with a second season of the show, which is really disappointing considering the way that Season 1 ended and I would have loved to have seen where this show would go in the future.
The show could always be picked up by someone else and we could still see this story continue, but until then we have at least 1 season of solid television that is well worth checking out.

I was very interested to check out this journal because I wanted to find out more about anxiety and how to deal with it. All these terms regarding mental health are still new to me, so I was intrigued to find out more of the ways to identify it and deal with it. I have been sent a digital copy of the journal to review, so I am going to share my overview of what to expect. 🙂
The first thing that caught my eye was quotes written in watercolour! I have a weakness for beautiful quotes and watercolour art, and this journal has that on every second page! Also, this journal is a very well designed tool to write down your thoughts. There are plenty of prompts to guide you, and it makes you delve deep into yourself and your mind.
So, to conclude, even though I didn’t get the chance to actually fill in the journal, I really liked the way it is designed. The colours and the art are soothing and inspiring, and I liked that there are so many prompts to help with everyday and life fears and things that make people anxious.

I've never read any books by this author and neither have I read the previous books in the series but that wasn't a big issue as the events of the previous books are explained in short pretty early on in memories and discussions between the characters but you still feel like you've missed something.

There is a history between Reaper and Lilith and I enjoyed the chemistry that still sparked. It was definitely a second chance romance while trying to bring about a certain someones downfall.

It had some nice description in this but I did struggle at times to get absorbed in the story. I'd pick it up, read about 5% and then put it back down again and concentrate on my paperback instead. I think it sounded more like my kind of read than what it turned out to be.

If you liked the previous books or like futuristic stories set on Earth where everything has gone to ruins and people are doing what ever they can to make money and keep the peace between the remaining areas of the USA then you'll more than likely enjoy this.
