Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2518 KP) rated Some Like It Hot-Buttered (Double Feature Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A new series from a favorite author left me a little cold. I didn't find it nearly as funny as his old books, and the mystery was weak. What's funny about this is the series centers around the owner of a comedy movie theater. Owner Elliot Freed investigates when a man is poisoned by his pop corn during the nightly double feature.

David McK (3752 KP) rated Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover in Books
Jul 21, 2019
Mention the words Spider-man, and I'm sure the first thing most people think of is the Marvel comics.
Maybe closely followed by the 70s TV series or 90s cartoon, and the more recent big-screen outings.
What I'm pretty sure is not commonly thought of, however, is a Spider-Man prose novel, which is exactly what this is, alongside being a prequel tie-in to the really-rather-enjoyable 2018 PS4 game.
That game - and, by extension - this novel, sees Peter Parker roughly already 7 or 8 years into his career as Spider-man, with the novel serving to set up the entry levels into the game in which (no spoilers) Spider-Man takes on Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin of Crime, and showing how he got to have his contact in the police force Yuri Wattanabe (sp?)

Emotional yet exciting read.
Okay, why did I wait to pick this series up. Seriously. It's just so good! Sarah J. Maas just knows how to pull at your heart strings and every emotion known to man (and woman). I cried, I cursed at the characters, I was happy. I was not expecting this serious to be held dearly to my heart so soon. But only being a book in, this is a series that I will read over and over again. Well-written, great plot, a great background of the characters. I can't wait to see where Celaena's adventure takes her!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2518 KP) rated This Pen for Hire (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Freelance writer Jaine Austen takes on the job of writing a love note for a desperate young man. Then the object of his desire is killed and he is accused of the crime. Can Jaine free him? This is the first in a very funny mystery series. Light and fun. If that's the kind of mystery you enjoy, this is right up your ally.

Blown away!!!! Save Underground from Cancellation!
Holy crap! There I was, innocently minding my own business on Hulu. Saw the actor from Leverage (older than series) pop up on the screen, have always loved him, figured hey let's give it a go. I had never even heard of this series. I can not believe more people aren't talking about this freaking series man!!! It's a portrayal from the eyes of the slaves during slavery. Very much like Roots, but in my opinion, just as life altering, without ever truly repeating the story. The actors and actresses are just breathtaking. The costumes and soundtrack are mesmerizing. The cast literally just gets better from one season to the next. So incredibly impressed with this show. We need this show, its a shame WGN cancelled it. I really hope Hulu picks it up.
starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Heart of Stone (Gargoyles, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
One of my new favorite series. I love gargoyles and don't see many good stories with them. Mix gargoyles with sexy and you get this book. Amazing characters, amazing plot and storyline. Sexy man/gargoyle. I loved the way the story played out and how everything came together. I loved the attraction and the twist in the story. Everything in this makes me excited for the next book. I can't wait until it comes out. Amazing!
