Jessica - Where the Book Ends (15 KP) rated Wet (The Water's Edge, #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Wet by Stacy Kestwick is such a fun book! It's so hard to believe this is her first book.

Sadie and West are fabulous characters! They are both so full of life and easy to relate to in their own ways. Their story is super, spicy, full of witty banter, and very sexy.
Rue and Theo are great supporting characters. They helped shape and make the story what it was. I saw a lot of myself in Rue and her clever attitude and as a result she was one of my favorite characters.
The settings throughout the book were described in such a way that I could imagine myself there as part of the book.

I am a huge fan of Stacy Kestwick and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us!

Stephanie Neve (104 KP) rated Arrested Development (2011) in Movies

If I was rating it on the first three seasons it would get a 10 (0 more)

The move to Netflix pretty much destroyed this show. (0 more)

Arrested Development was a beautiful cult television right up until it was picked up by Netflix. It is dry, witty comedy and hosts some of the best one liners in TV history.

Tobias Funke is quite possibly my spirit animal.

However season 4 was filmed differently as the cast all had commitments when they came back together. Even though the directors recut this to make it similar to the others (which improved it considerably) the plot still didn't hold up to the rest of the previous seasons.

By season 5 it was just a mess. The cast look tired and the aftermath of that awful New York Times article can be felt.

Just watch the first three seasons guys.

This show has had a lot of mixed reviews. Some people love it and some people don’t like the way that it represents body issues.

Personally I thought this was a great show. If you don’t think too much about how far fetched some of the story lines are and just take the show for what it is, a show, then it’s very entertaining, funny and a joy to watch.

I found it quite addicting and ended up watching the entire series over a few days. I enjoyed the witty dialogue, quirky characters and personally thought that they approached some touchy subjects in a way that people can relate to but also in a way that made the show fun.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed watching insatiable and am looking forward to the next series.

Phil Leader (619 KP) rated Holiday for Skins (Bongo Fury #2) in Books

Nov 11, 2019

Following on from the events in the first Bongo Fury book, this novella once again follows the music shop owner Jimmy Black as he unwillingly gets mired in the underworld of Northern Ireland. After the events of the first book, a silent struggle for power among the criminal elements is escalating and people are dying. All Jimmy wants to do is make sure he isn't one of them.

As with the first book the charm of this sequel is in the leading character. Wry, witty, foul mouthed with an eye for the darkly humorous observation, having Jimmy once again show us his world is very welcome. Together with the twists and turns of the plot (a little less straightforward than the first novel) this makes a cracking quick read that combines noir thriller and laugh out loud humour.

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Fire Me Up (Aisling Grey #2) in Books

Mar 9, 2020

Aisling Grey is back-and in more trouble than ever. She thought being a courier would be easy. It's not. She thought being a Guardian would come naturally. It doesn't. She thought she could get out of being a wyvern's mate. She can't. And she never thought she'd be irresistible to men. But she is.

I really really struggled with this one! I was looking forward to the witty funny and Sarcy attitude from Aisling that we had in book 1 it just wasn't there! There were a few moments with Jim I found funny I do love that demon but it still wasn't enough to keep me from putting the book down! The ending seemed quite rushed. I will give the next book a go in the hope it's a little better. Drake is really doing my head in!
