Laura Turner (36 KP) rated The Vampire Diaries in TV

One of my favourites
Elena Gilbert loses both her parents and from then on her life becomes entangled in vampires, werewolves and witches. It is one of my favourite shows ever. The Salvatore brothers are gorgeous even for blood sucking vampires.
The storylines are always really good and each season has something different to offer.
The characters throughout are fun and you fall in love with their stories and lives.
If you love vampires and supernatural stories this is definitely worth a watch. As is the originals which is a spin off from the show.

Great action scenes (1 more)
Totally over the top
Full on Action
A fun full on non stop action film, once it gets going to the main story. From the director of @Hardcore Henry (2016) and it shows as this is is a similar vein. A bit like the John Wick films as a guy goes up against the odds a Russian Gang seek revenge. I like Bob Odenkirk but this is very different to his Saul role in Breaking Bad and the spin off, little hard to see him as a lethal weapon. One for action fans to enjoy.
David McK (3649 KP) rated Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) in Movies
Apr 28, 2024
The most recent of the Mad Max movies (as of early 2024) and with Tom Hardy replacing Mel Gibson in the lead role, this is essentially one long car chase movie.
And the best, IMO, since 'The Road Warrior'.
This one also stars Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa - soon to have a spin-off movie of her own (albeit recast) - with a strong argument that this is really *her* movie instead of belonging to Max Rockatansky.
It helps, of course, that a lot of the (insane) stunts are real rather than SFX - for example, the polevaulters on top of cars? Real stuntmen.

Dec 17, 2018
To Covet The Fae is the first book in the spin off series, The Kincaid Wolves. As such, it involves characters and places that we have already met. Although you could read this as a standalone, to get the full benefit I would recommend reading the Deathless Night series first. Plus the fact, they are wonderful books so it will be no hardship, I assure you.
Heather is Grace's friend and has come with her from China to Seattle. However, there is more to her than meets the eye as Brock finds out when she is taken unwillingly to meet with "the Prince". Through certain machinations, Brock and Heather find themselves separated in a different dimension, with only the toss of a coin to guide them.
This is well-written, with no editing or grammatical errors. However, as the first of a series, even a spin-off, there is a lot of groundwork that has to be laid. Also, it helps to provide the build up to the future books. This looks like it is going to be a series just as hot as the Deathless Nights, and so I have no hesitation in recommending it!
* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *

Audible makes this a better book!
I found this to be a truly enjoyable experience with Audible on my side. I am an avid reader, but something about Finty's voice and her ability to paint characters with just tonality is mesmerizing.
This is a unique spin on the typical zombie apocalypse story, and I have to say it's done exceedingly well. I loved the idea of Melanie being raised as she was, and even though the end of the book could be predicted, the perspective of the child and the changes that some characters made caused me to be particularly thrilled with this book. Off to find the movie now!!
