Auburn (57 KP) rated Blood Heir (Blood Heir, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
I enjoyed this book but I didn't love it. The plot was fantastic but it was so long. It took me a few days to finish which is weird because normally when I start a great book I rush through it. The slow burn was there and the characters had growth. But it's book 1 in the series and we all know what that means.
The Affinities were something that really got me into the book. I wish they had more of a presence. Otherwise I have all good things for this book. It was great and interesting the slow burn enemies to lovers is a favorite trope of mine.

Feb 24, 2018
There's no doubt that Ralph Bates could have been a brilliant Frankenstein, but not in a film with a script like this one's. The film attempts to appeal to a hip young audience by including cleavage by the yard and lots of sub-Carry On film humour; script is also thick-headed and repetitive. The moment Frankenstein's experiments included resurrecting a tortoise everyone involved should have realised there was a serious problem here. Not funny, not scary, not interesting, barely worth watching except for Hammer fans. They got Peter Cushing back for the next one.

Another strong entry makes it easy to see why this long running series is so popular. The characters are sharp; in fact, it is a pleasure to see how easily the author creates characters with just a few sentences. The plot moves along well, although I did figure things out a bit before Kinsey did. That’s a minor issue in this enjoyable novel.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated King of Hearts (Hearts, #3) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
My first completed read of 2016! And it was pretty amazing!
This pulled at my heart-strings in a big way. I loved the beginning bit where she was lying to him about her relationship preferences and then the modelling bit and then the falling deeper bit. The dad thing threw me a little just before it fast-forwarded 6 years to the time we see in "Hearts of Fire" at the circus. And then it tugged at my heart-strings even more and I just wanted to cry like a baby.
It was lovely to read Oliver King's story. How he started out so different to how we read him in Hearts of Fire, how he was a powerful man in London, how he fell in love with this Alexis we hear so much about... Thinking back, I think I'd like to cry for him.
This a brilliant addition to an already pretty amazing series. I can't wait to read more of them!

Rebecca Billcliff (2409 KP) rated Batman: The Animated Series in TV
Nov 12, 2019 (Updated Nov 13, 2019)
The odd episode may miss the mark, but otherwise you are fully drawn in to a Bat man that is dark, has depth, but also some humour. While it is suitable for kids (Not too young, and I would advise parents take a look, just incase) it does not pander to them and is great for adults too. Some other DC animations have tryed to emulate this, and done well. But none have quite found the same beauty the original has achieved.
A Must for any Bat-fans out there, and I can not wait for my son to join me in a binge session on this classic.
