In all honesty this is the first book by J.A. Armstrong I picked up. It drew me in as a teacher but when I realized it was a spin off of the By Design series I put it aside and started that one. I read this one at the time it seemed to fit into the other series. I love the characters and how their relationship develops. Michelle and Melanie's relationship evolving from just friends to more just flowed. As with all of Armstrong's characters they all have flaws but that makes them real.

So, truth: I wasn't happy with how this book ended... and it's the last in the series!!! There are so many open-ended plot holes that were never answered. And there was a weird twist with one of the secondary characters that I wasn't expecting... it left somewhat of an odd taste in my mouth.......
But there is some good news! Day is working on a kinda spin-off series that is supposedly going to answer some of the questions and plot holes left unanswered. So we shall see.

The humor in this movie was spot on. The cast was excellent. The story line was great and it fit perfectly with the original Jumanji movie.
I think it is really important to mention- this is a spinoff. It is not a remake of the original. My fiance was confused about that and a little annoyed but in my opinion if you can understand the difference between spin off and remake then this is an excellent movie that lovers of the original movie should definitely take the time to check out.

Ready For Book Two
Can I start by asking, "When does the second book come out?! This retelling of King Midas surpassed all my wildest expectations and then some. This spin was written rather creatively and I found myself enjoying this adventure full of pirates, first loves and curses. I will tell you that I was shocked and caught off guard by some startling revelations and I eagerly await with anticipation for the next book. Kudos to this author's storytelling and spell weaving as I fell in love with the web she spun!
Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn was undoubtedly the best thing in the mediocre 'Suicide Squad'. How you take to her livewire, hyperactive and at times a tad grating character will depend on how much you enjoy this spin off. Luckily I thought there was a good balance of action and humour here and plenty of entertainment to be found in Quinn's amusing narration and her interactions with the other Birds. It's got its faults certainly particularly in Ewan McGregor's hammy over the top villain but it's still worth a watch for Robbie's performance.
Too many slow episodes (1 more)
Not what I expected
Disappointing
This looked interesting, a spin off series from silence of the lambs set a few months later.
It's all over the place with some very good episodes but far too many slow rather dull episodes. Rather than tracking serial killers as you might expect this covers many areas of the FBI. The main plot running through the series is of some murders to cover up the results of a drug trial of a major company. It goes off track at times and can be hard to follow. More due to lack of interest. The ties to the Silence of the lambs which pop up tend to be the best episodes.
Overall not a very gripping storyline make it slightly disappointing.

A (mostly) enjoyable start to this MCU spin off show
Contains spoilers, click to show
Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson was a fan favourite in the MCU before his untimely demise in Avengers, so it's a pleasure to see him back, heading a SHIELD based spin off show.
The first season, for the first half at least, is pretty average, every week, Coulson and his team come across some kind of comic book threat, and swiftly put an end to said threat, rinse and repeat.
It's when the events of Winter Soldier happen when things really go up a gear.
As soon as the HYDRA plot point from the second Captain America film is put into action, the show turns into a thrilling drama, full of plot turns, good guys turned bad, and pretty solid action for the most part.
The main cast are all extremely likable and in turn, it's easy to become invested in what they do.
Add in some comic book characters here and there (Dethlok was a highlight here) and a cheeky cameo from Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, and you end up with a debut series that is pretty entertaining, even if it does take a while for it to find it's footing.
