The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category

Excellent
I loved this series! The way the author described Panem and the district's was full of detail and really sucked you into that world. Katniss was a girl that I could relate to(whose got time to think about guys when your trying to survive). Expertly told and made me want to devour the next book in the series.

With gorgeous artwork, emotional writing, action packed fighting scenes and unnerving plot twists, the fifth volume of this fantastic comic series will leave readers on the edge of their seats and gasping for more.
Unfortunately one of the more underrated of DC's series, Red Hood and the Outlaws is perfect for those who appreciate dark humour, magic, and love in all its forms; as well as gratuitous well-earned and specacular butt whoopings.

5 Fantastic Stars. This is the first I've read by this author and even though it's book 3 of the series I didn't feel that I'd missed anything vital. The action started nearly straight away and it just didn't stop. Love the love, hate relationship between Jared and Sparrow and can you blame him after what he thinks shes done. If I could award more stars I would. Just bought the rest of the series.

The Best Of The Series
This is the final book of the halo series by Eric, and it is by far the best.
This book reminds you why you have to love everything halo, it introduces the spartan III's and gives a new face to how the spartans are.
With its amazing ending that leaves every halo nerd in tears as they feel the sacrifce a spartan makes to do the right thing

Hysterical
This series is brilliant. The mysteries generally are not very deep. But the characters will keep you howling. Stephanie is a bounty hunter, for whom nothing every goes right. She is surrounded by a hilarious cast of characters. My favorite is her pistol packing grandma who goes to funeral as the highlight if her social scene. Fast paced and funny, this is a great series.
  
Black Mirror  - Season 3
Black Mirror - Season 3
2014 | Sci-Fi
I think this is the weakest series of Black Mirror yet. Although the plots and storylines behind each episode are as intriguing as ever, I don't think they were as well executed as previous series. Most of the episodes came across as being overly long and a little boring after a while. Shame as each has a great cast, my favourite episode probably being Shut Up and Dance, can't beat a bit of Jerome Flynn!

Contains spoilers, click to show
This is by far one of my favorite books/series. There is no series that is so whimsically, hilariously, bizarrely funny as HGTG. From the moment when Arthur Dent wakes up to his house on the verge of being demolished, to the moment when Vogons once again destroy the Earth (with all of the proper paperwork, of course) You will enjoy the ride, as long as you bring your towel, and don't panic!

A very interesting addition to the Dark-Hunter series. I liked that it featured a Dark-Huntress and an 'other'. They were both very likable and there were some interesting characters introduced with this book. Also, it was cool that it had a different way for them to be together than usual; I really did not see that coming. Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was a great addition to the series!

Its an ok show. I grew up whatching the original series, TNG, Deep space 9, and the other Two series. Seen all the movies. (Step dad and husband big Star Trek fans) The show could be better if they allowed more characters development to the other characters. And it almost becoming predictable. Like what is Michelle Bernum going to on this episode? This is suppose to be Star Trek not the Michelle Bernnum show
