Jessica Cashen (1 KP) rated Unrest (Unknown #2) in Books
May 16, 2018
A Fantastic second book. Unrest starts right where Unknown left off. It is fast paced and full of action and suspense. I couldn't put it down, I was up way past what I wanted to be. Questions I had from book 1 were answered but now I have more! Overall a great read! I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed.

Not my usual type of film, recommended by my mother. The story is about an unknown Indian maths genius who managed to stun the maths world and Cambridge professors and how his formulas are still being used today. Very good film and you may recognise Dev Patel who plays the main character. Another bit of history that everyone should know about.

A cautionary tale of mob mentality
This is absolutely tragic. The last few scenes remind me of Frankenstein. This mystery novel surrounds a quirky young woman, her older agoraphobic sister Constance, their disabled uncle and an enigmatic cousin. They have a rather hideous family secret that is revealed midway but the reasoning behind it remains unknown. It is a fascinating story, engaging, and straightforward.

Unusual horror film that will have the hair on your neck stand up.
It deals with loss and loneliness and fear of the unknown as a single mother struggles to raise her disturbed child whilst dealing with grief at the loss of her husband and the deep emotions involved.
Very effective and fresh approach that expertly builds tension and the Babadook itself will freak you out!

Hazel (2934 KP) rated For Reasons Unknown (DCI Matilda Darke, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
What a great book and, hopefully, the first of a series of many involving DCI Matilda Darke and the fantastic cast of excellent supporting characters. Well written at a great and unrelenting pace, the story follows the investigation of a cold case and the, possible, link to a recent murder.

Mar 1, 2019 (Updated Mar 2, 2019)
Have you heard of Gertrude Bell, no neither had I. Another bit of unknown history that nobody really knows. The film is a bit ploddy and seams to drag in places but the scenery and music is quite atmospheric and if you watch this film, watch it for that. Quite interesting though and makes you wish that this was taught in history in schools otherwise it will soon be forgotten.

Badass sci-fi and the power of friendship
So almost everyone has a computer in their heads, and a new drug hits the streets that could take down the entire infrastructure to this online world. Who are you going to trust when some unknown force is trying to get in your head, kill you and your friends?
Bluescreen is an engaging look into the town of Mirador, and what’s destroying it.
