The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category

original content
I can NOT say enough great things about Netflix original content. My boyfriend and I have found a lot of shows we can enjoy together. Netflix makes a night at home easy and fun.

I'm a total binger and love the chance to watch a full season in one sitting. It is a bummer that some movies and shows leave Netflix but they are always adding new content as well.

The way the various stories cross over
The visual look of the film
Comic book comes to life
A very stylish film based on a graphic novel, the film has a largely monochrome look which works well with the comic element. The film consists of a few stories that cross paths in Sin city. All of them are very good as well as the main story piecing them together. Very original.

It's early nineteenth century and you have an unusual case that Scotland Yard is just not getting anywhere with. So who are you going to call!? Sherlock Holmes. What? No. Boswell and Flynn! I love when oddball characters who in theory should never work blend so well together and have crazy adventures. A suicidal alien, a hooker, and a cowboy there is a bad joke somewhere in that but, I'll leave it be.

Charming and wonderful
I love seeing older actors and actresses in leading roles, these days Hollywood has age washed EVERYTHING. It's refreshing to see the leads are 70+, their daughters are 40+ and it's charming to see how life changes for all the characters. Both me and my husband enjoy watching together, well worth checking out!

Not going to write a big review on this. Another WMC book that did not disappoint. The main focus in this book is Yuki trying on a new job and her case is connected to Lindsay's case about alleged cops robbing dope houses and check cashing stores. Cyndi has wrote a book and went on a small book tour, and she and Rich are back together.

I'm sure there is going to be a 15....

This is an absolutely amazing book. Melissa has a way with pulling in the reader and making them care about her characters. In this book, you following Junie as she tries to first understand why her 4 year old daughter is regressing back to toddler-hood and then she takes you on her journey of discovering hidden things from the past which impacts everyone's future. Several different story lines come together with a surprising ending.

A very interesting addition to the Dark-Hunter series. I liked that it featured a Dark-Huntress and an 'other'. They were both very likable and there were some interesting characters introduced with this book. Also, it was cool that it had a different way for them to be together than usual; I really did not see that coming. Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was a great addition to the series!

Verging between Excellent and Very Good as I did stop what I was doing and actually sat and watched the film. The film goes off on all sorts of tangents which keep you wanting more and keeping the viewer intrigued, you don't get to tie all the pieces together until fairly near the end. Don't expect to watch a film about a corrupt accountant, it is so much more and surprisingly good.

Justice sacrifices him self for his brother who he could never tell and he lands in the void. Keeley has a gift of object reading that causes all around her to think she is crazy. When they meet an the adventure that follows they realize that only together can they be whole. My favorite Warrior of Poseidon. It is a wonderful tale of hope and love with destroying a few vampires in the mix.
