Fun, flirty and emotional


Being a woman heading towards forty this actually resonated with me. It highlights the wants and needs that are ever present and how we can convince ourselves of certain things, along side doing many things at once.
    Hadley, our lovely main character, is strong and independent. She's also likeable and a survivor of the well known thing..... heartbreak.
    Babe in the Woods is my box of chocolates read, accompanied by a favourite drink and snuggled up on the sofa. Alternatively, gift to a friend so you can have a natter about it over a coffee! It's fun and flirty but with an emotional edge.

I received a free copy of this novel direct from the author in return for an honest review.

The fact that I received it free and from the author in no way influences how I feel about this book ... it was absolutely brilliant and I loved everything about it. It sounds corny but I really couldn't put it down.

It is an exceptionally well told, well written story with really well thought-out characters. It was fast paced from the start with plenty of violence which is graphic but written in such a way as not to be gratuitous.

Nate Overbay is all ready to commit suicide when he stumbles on a bank robbery. But this wasn't an ordinary bank robbery, and suddenly he has some nasty men after his estranged family. Can he figure out a way to save them?

While it wasn't quite the heart pounding suspense I was expecting, I enjoyed the book more as a result. The characters were richer and the writing so good it brought every scene to life. This is a thriller with characters you truly care about, and it is better as a result.

Meh
This one on Netflix is labeled a horror movie but it's not scary at all. The cinematography was ok. The acting was mediocre. The effects were basically just run of the mill gore. The story was weak. Seems this movie was made just to have a bunch of people mutilating themselves in different ways. Supposed to be truth or dare but it was almost all "dares" or rather, "commands". There really was no plot of any kind. And when it was "explained" by a previous survivor of the game, she knew things that she couldn't have possibly known just from "playing the game". Poor excuse for a movie. Not really worth a watch.
