KyleQ (267 KP) rated The Signal (2007) in Movies
Jul 21, 2020
Mya (Anessa Ramsey) is traveling across the city to escape from her crazy boyfriend Lewis (AJ Bowen), while Ben (Justin Welborn) seeks Anessa too.
The Signal (2007) is done in three parts, the first part introduces the characters and the plot and throws them into a world of violence. It's brutal, crazy, and disturbing. The movie starts out like a good horror movie.
The second part shifts the tone entirely. It becomes a hilarious dark comedy. The cast is perfect in their dry witty delivery. I loved it!
The third part concludes the plot, returning the tone to a serious one again.
Overall, the acting was solid, the action was well done. The horrifying moments were disturbing, the comedic moments were hilarious. I minus one star for the big tonal shifts, which may turn away some viewers. But I still loved it. Highly recommended.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Miss Tavistock's Mistake (The Brides of Mayfair #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
Miss Tavistock was a great mix of personalities, pretty much one to match each of her “names” right until they all become one in a great character arch. She was witty, engaging, and made me smile. The Captain… Ooo… Where to start with him? He was a handsome dashing guy with a misunderstood personality right from the beginning. He grew throughout the story and finished as any Captain should. Rescuing his Damsel in distress. Truly a good cast of characters that I look forward to seeing in future books.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the engaging cast of characters, the interesting twists in the story, and the morals/themes in this book.
