Odd and more intense than previous books
This third book, again in a different city to the previous ones, is set in central Paris. A group of people have made a life for themselves in the catacombs and tunnels underneath the city, largely safe from the strange monsters and beings that have taken over the city.
Loic, the main PoV character, is a former street child who has quite easily adapted to life under the streets, scavenging for food where he can. The main threat they face is the Impressionists, a race of paint-monsters who roam the streets and tunnels rounding up the people they find.
This book is more focused on people who have made a life for themselves following The Change (still a mystery, but safe to assume that weird things can happen now), rather than those struggling to come to terms with it.
It is quite an exciting tale of rescue, bargaining and trying to evade some very strange, but very Parisian, enemies who are never as they seem.
This book, for once, is fairly self-contained and has an ending and was a good short read.

I received a free ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

The Salem Witch Trials have always intrigued me as I am fascinated and appalled at the naivety of people. This book's story line takes place 19 years after those trials and the author's creative writing transported me in to the story. Strong and well developed were the story and its characters and the revelations that are revealed via a journal were outstanding. I cannot wait to read the second book and I highly recommend that everyone reads it.

I'm glad it was better than I thought it would be
D.C. Should just give Patty Jenkins anything she wants. She made a well thought out blockbuster with heart and brains. I love the world she created for Diana and woukd love to revisit the island. Other than some pacing problems I had, this was the movie that I had hoped it would be. Loved Gal gadot and I am curious to see Diana/WW and her interaction with people of those times.

Back to basics
A cool addition to the series which surpasses the AVP films. This is more back to basics to what made the first film so enjoyable but with more Predators and more people to hunt. You only get to see a bit of the alien planet they are located on which was a surprise. However there are some cool fights and good action scenes, the SFX are pretty good. It's predictable but it will please those who liked the original film so much. The second best film to feature the Predator creature to date!

classics never die, unlike graboids
I first saw this via those discs you get when you used to first buy a DVD player, a handful of B movies and this hidden gem, this film convinced me to give B movies a second chance, Tremors is made up of a small cast of good actors, it takes place in the middle of a desert in a nowhere town, two guys going about their business until something starts killing people, what follows is B movie gold, well worth a watch.
