Serial Killers at the movies
By Christopher Berry-Dee
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bestselling author, Christopher Berry-Dee, talks to the serial killers whose wicked stories have most thrilled and fascinated us at the movies and, through far-ranging and disturbing interviews, he tells the stories of the mass murderers who provided the inspiration for some of cinema's most shocking films.

This was a very interesting read I’m enjoying reading his opinions and his outcomes on research. There are certain a few films from this to add to the list and also some to rewatch with new eyes.

Okay where to start with this review. I liked the book a lot and its a great addition to the series, but Dovey didn't resonate with me the way Nora did in Very Bad Things. Dovey was hard for me to relate to, but that doesn't mean she was a bad character by any stretch of the imagination. I loved her back story, and I loved the fact that she was attaining what everyone said her entire life she couldn't attain. I LOVED Cuba's backstory and I wish we could have delved into that a little deeper. I also wish we could have spent a little more time with Dovey and her Very Wicked deeds and her time with Barinsky.

I loved Heather-Lynn and Sarah. They were a great addition to the story, and really what made the story more emotional and tug at your heart strings.

I know I keep going back to how I didn't care for Dovey as a character, I really felt like she didn't grow as a character. Yes her perspectives changed, but she ultimately stayed the same. Cuba on the other hand grew and changed massively throughout the book, which is why I think I liked him more. He lost a lot, ditched the self blame, dropped the walls around his heart, and learned how to put other people first. It was a great journey. In my opinion I think this book is more about Cuba than it is about Dovey.

I did enjoy this book, and do hope for another book in the series, perhaps Sebastian or Emma (we HAVE to know what happens there). I recommend this book to everyone who likes a good series, this is definitely one of the best series I've read in awhile. I do also recommend you read Very Wicked Beginnings as well.

3.5 Very Wicked Stars

*I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*

Once upon a time is a mash up of all the different fairy tale characters and them living happily or not so happily together in modern life. You have all the favourite ones such as The Wicked Witch, Hook, Snow White and many others. The musical episode in one of the later series's is brilliant and will have you singing the songs. They needed to end it on a high when the last story line came to an end and some of the main characters left, but they have tried to keep it going by introducing new characters and people but didn't work, sorry stopped watching it then.

The Glass Slipper
Cinderella- With a wicked stepmother (Eleanor Audley) and two jealous stepsisters (Rhoda Williams, Lucille Bliss) who keep her enslaved and in rags, Cinderella (Ilene Woods) stands no chance of attending the royal ball. When her fairy godmother (Verna Felton) appears and magically transforms her reality into a dream come true, Cinderella enchants the handsome Prince Charming at the ball, but must face the wrath of her enraged stepmother and sisters when the spell wears off at midnight.

Dont you feel bad for Cinderella, i mean i did.

"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", is my favorite song from this movie.

A classic animation film.

Album Favorite

"There are some wicked arrangements by Jimmie Haskell here. The string arrangements and this diving, swooping orchestral score is something you'll hear on our new album. It's a composing style that I was enamoured by - just look at how the strings dive in and out of the lyrics. This was popular pretty much from when I could listen to radio from about 1969. I was three or four at the time. It's always been on the radio in America on oldie stations, it never stops! Especially where we live in the Catskills, we don't get alternative radio stations. The ones that do call themselves ""alternative"" play Dave Matthews."
