Sometimes I feel I'm trapped in a recurring nightmare with an endless succession of Amicus-style horror anthologies. This one sticks nice and close to the formula as a bunch of nasty people are shown their eventual comeuppances by the movie's host: there's an evil Santa Claus, zombie versions of some well-known actors, another appearance by the Amicus crawling hand prop, and so on.
By no means actually scary, but good camp fun; the downturn in the British movie industry means this films like this one can attract really impressive casts. You nearly always know what's coming next, but it's pacy and varied and entertaining stuff.

This book made me chuckle aloud. It had heart warming, sometimes eye rolling moments and love.

As Elise's brothers best friend, and team mate, Elise is very much off limits to Justin, but their mutual attraction and long harboured crushes might just be worth the risk. A drunken night leads to a secret relationship with the potential to change everything.

This light hearted, steamy read is an instant page turner. The characters are likeable, the dialogue is far from cheesy and the hot moments are HOT!

As a sports romance lover, I would recommend to anyone with similar reading tastes.

Slightly predictable
So intricate
This book had me hooked straight away as for the most part it's set in the Forest of Dean which is half hour from me so it was bound to be immersive for me.

The characters are good and I really enjoyed the different viewpoints interlinking. I thought the transitions between each person were good like a movie almost.

The story was really good although perhaps slightly predictable once you have all the characters. I couldn't put it down for the last 100 pages.

Sometimes the cliffhangers were frustrating with nearly every chapter ending in one.
