Rian Johnson is a genius.

With his directorial debut he crafts an excellent story, that features some of the best young adult actors in recent history. It becomes even more impressive when you realise how few adults feature in the film.
With a mystery that puts you on the edge of your seat, a murder, a drug den and adult themes that most would refrain from showing in this context, this neo-noir is a reminder of what is great about the noir genre.
Expertly filmed, edited and scored, with some beautiful shots that leave you breathless, this film will not disappoint.

"I remember this movie winning everything right around the time I was starting to pay attention to film. Seeing it as a little kid, I thought it was scary and thrilling and very “adult.” Now that I’m an actual adult, I find that the film remarkably hasn’t aged at all, and that there are new things to appreciate each time I return to it. The filmmaking is so masterful it’s become a kind of blueprint, and the way Demme is able to use his craft to transform the pulpy, lurid material at the core of the film into something so serious and artful is really incredible"

This is my first young adult dragon shifter book. I've read the first in an adult series but I didn't reckon much to it but this, this was right up my street.

I liked almost everything about it; the description of being a dragon, the characters--though I thought it was a little selfish of her mum and sister to want to do what they were doing to Jacinda, the romance and connection between Jacinda and Will...

That ending has definitely got me wanting to find out what happens next and considering the books are only 99p each currently I think I'm going to go buy them all!

Holy fluff!

Oh....my....goodness!! This is as hot, if not hotter than the first in the Heartwood series. It follows on from Dallas & Delilah and I'd definitely recommend starting with that one as it sets you up for this.

My heart aches for Layla and I was rooting for her all the way, especially as Levi is so awesome. As with the first book there's a bit of hot loving and lots of emotions. With a deep, dark past waiting to engulf her Layla really struggles to trust and watching her transform is amazing.

Definitely an adult read with adult themes and trigger warnings.

Perfect for younger young-adult readers. This reads like a classic Dickensian ghost story, plenty of creepiness but nothing that will keep a young reader awake at night! This story was very well told, and I enjoyed it even though it was written for a much younger audience.

Has lots of family shows and kid shows. (0 more)
Don't have many popular shows for adults (0 more)
I like Netflix don't get me wrong. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that they went and got rid of a bunch of adult comedy toons like family guy,futuruma.
