Kristin (149 KP) rated Murder Red Ink in Books
Dec 7, 2018
Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
I personally loved "Ghosts of San Francisco" and I'm an avid reader of anything having to do with Jack the Ripper, so when I was given the opportunity to read and review "Murder Red Ink," there was no way I could pass it up. And once again, Mr. McGhee does not disappoint!
This book involves a very interesting take on the Ripper murders, and it kept me engrossed from beginning to end. There were many times I had to put it down because of that pesky thing called "life," but I just didn't want to, and that's how you know a book is awesome.
Wonderful novel, tantalizing plot and theories, and another great story from this author. Keep 'em coming! =)
5 stars

This is another great book, I could have finished it earlier than I did but I had to put it down. This book is amazing, it makes you cry, scream, and want to throw the book around. Only a few books have ever made me want to throw the book around and cry at the same time.
It has a good plot and some great characters that you fall in love with and truly care about. I had to take a break from reading but that didn't keep my mind from constantly thinking about the characters and what would happen next.
But I will warn you, it is a book that is very hard to stop reading. It keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next page.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Strava Running and Cycling GPS in Apps

It is basically social media for athletes, you follow different people and then see when they upload a run, cycle ride or swim. You can award kudos or comment on their activity.
I believe you can track activity straight from strava however I have mine set up to sync with Fitbit [running] and garmin [cycling] just as I already had both of these devices and don’t always take my phone out with me. Once you have set up the connection with another app you don’t have to do anything it will automatically upload any activity to strava for you to view.
I enjoy using strava for the different insights it gives you, you can pay to have premium membership which gives you even more info, however I don’t bother.

Not Okay
I'm normally a fan of road trip novels, and the crazy adventures they feature. I picked up this book expected to really enjoy a cynical take on life as a teenager. Instead this book pissed me off. I would never ever want any teenager who suffers from depression or bullying to read this book. The attitude in this book is that bullying happens, and no one cares so don't bother asking for help. By the end of the book the attitude is a little better, but never enough to make up for the awful things that adults allow to happen in the beginning. I will say there was a few shining moments mostly involving a dog, but even that only pulls my overall rating to a 3.
Natari (73 KP) rated The Boy Who Cried Wolf in Books

As a childrens story book, you have certain expectations, but Tazhibis art transcends mine. The cover is bright and inviting, and the illustration is relatable. Many childrens books are block colours, whereas Tazhibis has an innocent, crayon-like quality to it.
The overall style of the page does put me in mind of British Gas sphere worlds they have in the adverts, as Tazhibis rolling hills are quite literally rolling beside each other. Because screw gravity right? The choice makes it cute, and the crayon style colouring makes it appear like something a child could achieve. Dont take that the wrong way, the detail, shading and proportions are that of a very skilled hand, but, on looking at it, a child would be inspired.

Surreal Horror
This intrigued me after seeing mixed reviews and I guessed that it was going to be something very different to the norm. The problem with films like this is they can be misleading. It starts like a drama, then takes what you think might be in a romantic film direction and then flips it on its head to become something entirely different. I didn't mind that as I had an idea this would have a weird twist. It ends up having several. Not a bad story and the lead characters are good actresses. Maybe the story becomes a bit too surreal by the end that it loses some credibility. If you don't take it seriously you should enjoy it more.

Really great look at Freddies life, how it all began, things he had to endure over the years, to writing the classic hits. The bit that brought me to tears is when he went to the hospital for diagnosis and the track playing is 'who wants to live forever'. This film will take you on highs and lows, and at the end you'll just be left with your mouth open, thinking, BLOODY WOW! Highly recommended watch if you haven't done so already.
