Jessica Cashen (1 KP) rated The Bone Curse (Benjamin Oris, #1) in Books

May 16, 2018

Excellent read. Well written, with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. I couldn't put it down. This book is a supernatural suspenseful thriller. Ben Oris is a sensible, medical student until he cuts his hand on a old bone in the catacombs of Paris. The cut becomes a horrible wound that leads him into a world of Voodoo curses that threatens everything he knows and loves. He doesn't have to do this alone, he has his best friend Laurette to help him through this nightmare.

Book Rating

I love Susanna Kearsley's novels, they are, in fact, my favorite sort of novels. Partially historical fiction, modern fiction, with a hint of supernatural in the form of ghosts, typically.
I was excited when I read the synopsis of this novel, and couldn't wait to read it. I was slightly disappointed by it, because it wasn't as good as her other novels. The historical portion was a little slow, and the modern novel portion was fairly predictable. I still enjoyed it, just not as much as I would have liked to enjoy it.

Movie Rating

This was a strange one. Not sure what category it should actually be under, and it was weird. Seemed like it couldn't decide either. The cinematography and acting were decent. The story played out well enough(for what it was) but the description really only scratches the surface of this movie. It's only on Netflix so if you're interested in this 'sci-fi, supernatural-horror-thriller' you'll have to go there to see it. Overall I'd say it's worth a watch if you're bored and looking for something to pass the time.

Glorious storyline crescendo

Contains spoilers, click to show

Such a beautiful rounding of the 3 seasons of Penny Dreadful. To finish with Vanessa and Ethan's scene may have made my eyes leak! And to see that the past of the Monster entwined so deeply with Vanessa was a great added depth and completely unexpected. I adored this season and am currently rewatching for my 5th time. For any lover of classic horror literature, or doomed romance, or the thrill of supernatural I would recommend in a heart beat!

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt (Johnny Dixon, #2) in Books

I'd honestly forgotten how good this one is!
Hi Fergie!
So, it deals with fear on two different levels. The fear of abandonment. Grandma has a brain tumor and his dad's plane is shot down.
And fear of the supernatural. An evil person with a magic box that can turn people into mummies.
Johnny's determination to find the will and the way he goes about it is one of my favorite things. Because he's far from perfect but even with the mistakes he makes, Johnny is a good bean.

No scares

A present to be returned

I was surprised to see yet another Black Christmas film as we have 2 already. The trailer looked OK if a little silly. Thought it might have gone down a tongue in cheek route. Unfortunately it tries to go down some weird preachy girls vs boys mess up with a supernatural element. So many daft decisions, no real scares and just bad storyline. Should have stuck to a more traditional slasher film. Skip this one like a gift of grey socks at Christmas!
