Old school feel to it (0 more)
Good low budget slasher
Caught this on TV, surprised I had not heard of it. A decent little slasher film with some emerging young stars in the cast. Not very gory but feels like a good old school slasher. Produced by Kevin Williamson who had a hand in Scream and I know what you did last summer!

Fantastic story line and character progression. (0 more)
This book was an endless road of twists and turns. The main character Venus commits a terrible crime at the very beginning and by following her through life you don’t learn exactly what it was or why she did it until she is ready to come to terms with it herself. Fantastic story line and character progression.
  
I did think this was a novel in itself, albeit there are 2 sequels, but actually this is only a third of the story and you have to read the next two books to find out what is going on! This book leaves on a cliffhanger and with none of the threads looking like they will be tied up any time soon.

Movie Favorite

"Great performances from a great ensemble of actors. Jonathan Demme did such a great job of making that look so real, creating an atmosphere that felt very immediate. It’s a funny film, but it’s scary as hell in parts. And it’s a completely unpredictable movie, I think. There’s no expectation, as you go into that film, what to expect or where it’s going."

not sure this was for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I will be honest, I don't usually read other reviews before I write mine. But I did here. I wanted to see if anyone else was struggling with what I did. But it appears that what I struggled with, every one else loved and had expected it of this author, who I have not read before.

Let me try to explain.

I could not see where this was going, at all. And that is a good thing. I do like being kept on my toes.

BUT I'm still not sure what actually happened when it all went down! I'm confused by it all, I have no clue what it was about, apart from a witch moving from body to body? Maybe? I'm not entirely sure what Joanna was, either. A vampire maybe? I dunno.

I actually liked that only Alex had a say, I think putting Jago into the mix would have confused me even more. Especially when it becomes (somewhat) clear that Jago is not just Jago, you know??

So, I think, I just didn't get it! But I did finish it, so . .

3 stars
