What was that about?
Contains spoilers, click to show
After my nagging my husband to take me to see this, I was disappointed with both the fanciful plot and the completely mystifying ending - the film just appeared to stop for no good reason, and everyone in the theatre where we were watching this went "Eh?" or "What??!" as one man/woman, because they couldn't understand it either. There were a few amusing scenes but overall, I was expecting so much and was left just feeling confused.
I will probably have to go and get the book it is based on to make any sense of it, from what I have looked at it wasn't really historically accurate in any way, other than the characters existing in real life.

Excellent read!
In January of 2018, I told myself I would take more time to read more books this year as a way to get back into my love of reading. This was one of the first books I discovered as I was standing in a line at the grocery store. I picked it up and threw it into my cart and started it as soon as I got home. I couldn't put it down! It had me stuck in its grip and I was too involved in it to even try. I loved all the twists and turns it involved. I was completely surprised to find out who the kidnapper was and what the plan had been all along. It was well written and kept my attention. I plan on recommending this book for my book club.

A movie that horror fans should watch
Contains spoilers, click to show
Wes craven's: new nightmare takes a different approach in the nightmare of elm street franchise. After freedy's dead bombed, but grossed money and killed Freddy. Wes craven came back with a new take. What if reality and fiction came togther? What if fiction happened in reality? What if Freddy hunts the actors and the director of a nightmare on elm street? What if reality and fiction collided? New nightmare is 2 hours long but its a perfect length of time to tell a story that horror fans should watch. Wes toke elements from real life and put them in the movie. Like heathers stalker, heathers husband and kid, wes craven's nightmares, earthquakes and more. This one to me is the best one in the franchise. I think horror fans should watch this film.

So I'm currently working through my backlog of Kindle books. Ones that have been on my Kindle for 6 or 7 years and this one was the latest.
2.5 stars
It started quite good and I was enjoying the relationship between Hunter and our girl but my interest started to waver a little after the middle when Hunter kept getting annoyed at being unable to tell her the truth for the thousandth time. I was growling at my Kindle, saying, what are you hiding?!
Admittedly, it did take me a little by surprise but not enough.
And then in relation to a certain boy. I figured it was you from about half way through, probably about the time my interest started to wander, with all your glaring and huffing and general moodiness. A bit too obvious.

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Working Stiff in Books
Oct 2, 2019
Bryn Davis knows working at Fairview Mortuary isn't the most glamorous career choice, but at least it offers stable employment--until she discovers her bosses using a drug that resurrects the clientele as part of an extortion racket. Now, Bryn faces being terminated--literally, and with extreme prejudice.
Wit the help of corporate double-agent Patrick McCallister, Bryn has a chance to take down the bigger problem--pharmaceutical company Pharmadene, which treats death as the ultimate corporate loyalty program. She'd better do it fast, before she becomes a zombie slave--a real working stiff. She'd be better off dead...
A new spin on the idea of zombie or living dead. This is a reread for me and I love the series. Rachel Caine is definitely one of my favourite Authors. This has strong female lead with a good storyline.

Not having read the first in this series, I really wasn't sure what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised.
This book is full of strong characters that grow on you as the story develops. They are a disparate bunch of people from various walks of life but they work well together. It did take me a while to get to grips with the story; it was quite confusing to begin with but I think that's because I haven't read the first in the series however, I stuck with it and found it quite absorbing the more it developed.
Full of action and tension, this is a good read and I look forward to reading more in the series so thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
