Description from the website: As Dr. Abbey knows, there are difficulties in running an underground virology lab in a post-Rising America. And unwanted guests must be dealt with.

A newsflesh novella this book is based at Dr Abbey's lab, during which we get to meet the people who help it run as smoothly as an undergound virology lab can run. The novella is hilarious, well written and has some brilliant one-liners would definitely receommend a read,

This novel is reminiscent of Gone Girl in its style and plot. The dual points of view with at least one, maybe two, unreliable narrators propulses the story making it a page turner. The twists are well executed and some of the characters are well fleshed out. However, there are many questions left unanswered, some loose ends that could have been tied up nicely and a few eye-rolling moments. All in all, an excellent psychological thriller with a twist.

Monochromatic vampire love story similar at times to Let the right one in, however this is a little more quirky and has some beautiful cinematography.
The cast isn't a long line of the well known and its filmed in Iran in limited locations, but this doesn't detract from its compelling story and amazing turns from the two main cast members.
Vampires need love too I guess and I would highly recommend this story be seen, its touching and surprisingly well told, highly recommended!

I loved this book I read it before the film came out so the film was pretty disappointing to me as it was so different to the book. The story is gripping right from the start and there is a great amount of backstory so the setting is easy to picture for the reader as well as gives them a greater understanding of what the characters are going through. It is very unique, the characters are well developed and I enjoyed every page.

This one came from out of nowhere
never heard of Claire Fuller before or this book and actually got it in a secret santa at work. Well Santa knows me well because it was bloody fantastic. My poor kids were hungry because I found it hard to not pick it up when I came home from work and hard to put it down afterwards. This is a disturbing and gripping story that is so upsetting because its entirely believable.

Best re-watchable comedy since Friends!
This has got to be one of my all time favourite shows, if I've only got 20mins to spare and want something to watch it's always B99. The characters are well fleshed out and really work well with each other. Most of the jokes hit and even if not laugh out loud are very enjoyable. The standard of acting us very good for an ensamble comedy.

I loved this retelling of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire coughing scandal, the acting was superb, Sheen did a fantastic job as Tarrant. The story is well told without ultimately giving you an answer. It has an amazing retro feel and I thought I remember this so clearly but when you look back so much if forgotten. Well done ITV for also being able to have a bit of a laugh at themselves!
