Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Stilts (Tessa Dark Trilogy) Book One in Books
Jan 12, 2021
4.5 stars.
I loved the world building and the stilt walking. Very imaginative.
This is my third book by the author, the others being Vampire Seeker and Witch, which were both brilliant. This was no different.
The author has this way of writing a good romance mixed with paranormal elements that are sometimes a little creepy. This was a little less on the romance but it was still amazing and has left me wanting the next book NOW!
I need to know what's going to happen when they get to the Island!
If you haven't read a Tim O'Rourke book yet, you totally should!

This remake of the 1989 version, changed a lot from the oringal version.
Dr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, relocate from Boston to rural Maine with their two young children. The couple soon discover a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near their new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his neighbour Jud Crandall, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unspeakable evil with horrific consequences.
Instead of the son dying, now its their daugther who dies. The ending is soo scary, the cast is great. Overall its a great remake to a already great oringal fim.

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Tully (2018) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
A mother of three hires a night nanny to help with her newborn.
Firstly, I'd like to say how impressed I am that the twist of this wasn't spoilt in anything that I saw before going to the film. I was pleasantly (?) surprised by it.
Tully was an interesting film, slightly awkward and quite emotional. It's a fairly niche movie though, and I can't see it appealing to a very large group of people.
I'm struggling to find a lot to say about this one. Definitely not an indication that I didn't like it, as is sometimes the case for my silence. It's just very difficult to sum it up.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Alpha Minor in Books
Oct 7, 2019
The second of Simon Haynes 'Peace Force' series, set in the same universe as his 'Hal Spacejock' series (although, as of yet there has been no crossover), this is probably best described as a light sci-fi mystery read: science fiction because of the setting (obviously), and light in that I blew threw this in about two days flat, having already solved the mystery quite early on, with no real plot twist coming that I hadn't already seen.
I'll probably still pick up some more of these, though, not every read has to be a full-blown course: sometimes you just want a nice palate cleanser!

AT (1676 KP) rated Kaijumax, Season One in Books
Jun 5, 2020
Kaijumax is about huge monsters that are in prison. Humans round them up to contain them so that they don't destroy their cities. It's a funny, violent story about the monsters trying to survive inside of their maximum-security prison. Reading the words that they use for curse words took some getting used to, but they're repeated often enough that you remember fairly quickly. There is a lot of actual drama going on in the story from all angles. The illustrations are cute and brightly colored, so it's definitely fun to look at, but the story, itself, is funny, gory, and sometimes intense. It's definitely not a series for young children!
