Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Darkness Becomes Her (Gods & Monsters, #1) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

This had been on my “recommendations” page for a while and when I saw it on Scribd, I thought why not?

I didn’t read the synopsis so I wasn’t entirely sure what it was going to be about. I really need to start.

This wasn’t bad. I liked some aspects and it was different to a lot of other stories out there.

I'm not the biggest fan of mythology. I don't mind books set in that time but this wasn't quite up my street. It was dystopian-y, paranormal-y and slightly romance-y, which sounds like it would be but I found it a little strange.

I have to admit it was easy reading but it wasn't for me. I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

"Chinatown, I just find to be so wonderfully stylish, so well thought-out. Great acting. For some reason, the scene in that that I found so wonderful is when Nicholson gets his nose sliced open, and then there’s a band-aid on it, and then later, he’s in the bathroom with Faye Dunaway, and she dresses the thing, and she takes the band-aid off. They were very honest and graphic about this, his nose and the stitches. And then there’s romance right after that. There’s a sex scene. I think it’s when they finally do it. I found that to be genius. I don’t know why that scene always has struck me as the most wonderful juxtaposition of beautiful and ugly. I think it speaks volumes about how to deal with violence truthfully."

Jonathan Donahue recommended Chances Are: The Definiitive Early Hits Collection by Johnny Mathis in Music (curated)

"It was my mother's favourite song. He has one of the smoothest voices in music ever. There's a strange sort of reverb going on there that's also present in 'Blue Velvet' by Bobby Vinton. Subconsciously, some part of me wanted to emulate what my mother found to be romantic. Again at a young age, I found that this was romance. Here was what made the girls smile because he was a huge heart-throb as well. So that early crooning, soft romantic style was a blueprint for us early on. From time to time I dive into it, as it's one of the constellations that's always in the sky for me. In fact, it's always on the radio and played more than Britney Spears or Alicia Keys, but only on oldies stations."

Well I might like my short stories but I should be wary if freebies--many of them or good, but some I just don't like/can't get into--and that was the case with this one.

It didn't hold enough romance for me. I get lust and that seemed what this was but the fact that they'd known each other three days and had sex all of those three days and suddenly wanted to be together...it just didn't ring true to me. Added in that erotica isn't my favourite genre and the spelling of "come" as "cum" pees me off, I wasn't exactly enjoying it that much.

The crime side of the story didn't hold my attention either, and I felt the ending was rather sudden.

Not for me.

Survivor This Island

Six Days, Seven Nights- is a decent adventure, romance, drama with some action in it.

The plot: In the South Pacific island of Makatea, career-driven magazine editor Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) is on a week-long vacation getaway with her boyfriend, Frank Martin (David Schwimmer). A work assignment in neighboring Tahiti requires Robin to hire a cargo plane piloted by the cantankerous Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford). But when a powerful storm forces Quinn to make an emergency landing on a nearby deserted island, the dissimilar pair learn to set aside their differences in order to find rescue.

Its downfall is david schwimmer he is not a good actor and personality i dont like him as a actor. Other than that, its a decent movie.
