You need to listen -
Wow.
I have been hooked, still am.
I have listened to the 1st series more than once. The episodes are so intriguing and draw you in.

An investigation into the death of 21 year old Christian Andriacchio, the first series dives into timelines, exclusive interviews, evidence and the 911 call. The family are suspicious and are 100% convinced foul play, but a 45 minute police investigation ruled it a suicide.
What happened? Was this murder? Or just a tragic story with a sad ending?

I must say I did my own research alongside the podcast, and if you jump down the rabbit hole like I did, you are bound to dig up things the P.D didnt want you to see.

Let me know in the comments if you listened, and if you are excited for season 2.

I am...

This twisting, turning thriller follows twin sisters, Bel and Rose who attend a prestigious high school after they are taken in by their grandma after the deaths of their father and mother. Bel is the "bad girl" who makes choices that are not the best, however, it is Rose who suffers the consequences of Bel's decisions, which ultimately causes the death of one sister.
Along with the twins, there are numerous characters who seem to think they are above everyone else, who have narcissistic personality traits, and who want only what is best for them.
Then you have Sara who is a loving, doting mother, wife and student advisee who is caught up in the middle of the murder mystery thrill ride.
You also have the Detective and Police woman who are investigating the murder of one of the twins which adds a great layer to the book through their interrogations and investigative questioning of many of the characters in this book.
It is a multi-layered, well written novel you will be thrown into and will have you guessing at times what will happen next and what did happen. It is a perfect blend of narcissism within characters, a blend of trying to decide who did what, and what will happen in the end.

Portal to hell
Hellraiser- when i first saw it i thought what in the hell did i just watch. But overtime i still think what the hell did i just watch.

What clive barker does he brings you into his mind, what dark mind he has. He brings you into his world, his creepy world.

The plot: Sexual deviant Frank (Sean Chapman) inadvertently opens a portal to hell when he tinkers with a box he bought while abroad. The act unleashes gruesome beings called Cenobites, who tear Frank's body apart. When Frank's brother (Andrew Robinson) and his wife, Julia (Clare Higgins), move into Frank's old house, they accidentally bring what is left of Frank back to life. Frank then convinces Julia, his one-time lover, to lure men back to the house so he can use their blood to reconstruct himself.

Hellraiser introduces you to the cenobites, and their are creepy.

Its a very dark twisted movie. That is very underrated, but over time more people have seen it.

I would reccordmend hellraiser if you are a clive barker fan, want to know the cenobites and watch the other hellraiser movies. Yes this is the start of the hellraiser franchise.

I did enjoy it but cringed at some of the visual effects, well it was nearly twenty years ago, but what made it interesting for me were the amount of modern day Hollywood actors who were obviously younger, you would not get them all together in todays film as the budget would not be there.

The Spanish Bride is one of Heyer's Regency novels, but unlike the others we are not in the social whirl of the Ton. Most of the action takes place during the Penninsular War and Harry and Juana are real historical characters. I did enjoy this, but it might not be what you are expecting.

I've never seen one of those.
I've heard legends of such things but never knew they were real.
What on earth is that?

"It has a strange beauty about it. It has a deceptively simple story. It has all the classic trademarks of someone who introduces you to a special, magical world, and yet you are able to then see your own world completely differently. There’s always something slightly uncanny about what Powell and Pressburger did — if you think about The Red Shoes or The Tales of Hoffman, and things later like Peeping Tom, films like that. They’re just extraordinary."

I did not know what to think about this book especially since the cover comes off a bit negative for something that is suppose to help you. I should first start by saying, I don't buy into the whole "God told me so," so I was immediately displeased with this book. Regardless of that, there was not a single thing in this book to help any negative aspect of my relationship. It may work for others, but it did nothing for me.
