Cross by D.A. Roach

Cross is a young adult contemporary fantasy that not only deals with our main character having vEDS, but also we find out about magic, and barriers, and witches, and dragons. Trust me, there is never a dull moment. Ray is an excellent character, being charming but not cocky. He reacts to his parents' news in a completely understandable way without overreacting. He also sees people as they are, and doesn't prejudge them at all. With an action-packed story, this fantasy is one to enjoy.

With a solid story-line, great world-building, and excellent characters, this story was a delight to read. There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow, making this a very smooth read. Absolutely recommended by me.

Dull as Ditchwater

The trailers for this show looked so exciting. We saved it on Sky+ so that we could watch a few episodes at a time and not have to wait a whole week for the next one. I love shows that are a bit supernatural or spooky, and couldn't wait to see this.

There were entire episodes where, at the end, we both wondered did anything of any note or point actually happen? The main characters just seemed so wet and, frankly, pathetic. For such incredibly powerful beings encompassed by this raging passion, Diana and Matthew are rather boring. There just seems to be no oomph, no real force behind any of them.

The one thing that did intrigue me was the demon race - we all know what witches and vampires are, but what can the demons do? That said, I'm feeling more inclined to read the books than to persevere with the next series.

This was totally amazing. I love a good demon series and this series has sooo much more then just demons. It has witches, demonesses, and so much more. I loved loved loved the tiny demoness. I loved the demon's mate. I do think that they are all idiots at times. The demons need to tell their mates who they are to them and stop trying to make it "easier" lol. They always make it worse. I was soo sad for Val, she is amazing and so strong but she went through so much pain to get strong. Jake is a favorite demon for me.. The pain.. the love.. how strong he is and how much he cares and how much pain he had to go through to become who he needed to be. I love them together with his niece. Amazing story and I'm so glad that I have been introduced to the writing of JL Sheppard. She is amazing!

Amazing!

Couldn't be more engrossed every time I watch this film!! I grew up watching this with my sister's and it's the right amount of comedy witchy romantic horror.

Story about two girls that loose there father to a curse and there mother from heart break, they move in with there aunts who are witches like them they grow up learning spells and then part ways one goes off to explore the world one stays home, they both fall in love one has two witchy girls and the other..........turns out she loved a psychopath working together the two sisters 'get rid of him' with the police investigating them and the ex boyfriend coming back to haunt them this witchy comedy soon turns to a darker setting and it's a race in time to get rid once again.

Incredible film if you have not watched the two brilliant actresses sandra bullock and Nicole Kidman together in this film, you need to!
