Cynthia Armistead (17 KP) rated Wild Thing (Includes: Warriors of Poseidon, #1.5; Guardians, #1.5) in Books

Mar 1, 2018

I picked up this book solely because it contains "Hunter Kiss," the novella that precedes <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2281814.The_Iron_Hunt">Iron Hunt</a></i>. Liu certainly didn't disappoint me.

The other three novellas didn't suck as much as most romance-centered works do. Maggie Shayne's "Animal Magnetism" was working for me, but then a mention of a dog seeing a color brought my suspension of disbelief crashing down around me. "Paradise" by Meljean Brook was, eh, okay, I guess. I just couldn't really get excited, and the "plot" seemed a lame excuse to bring the man and woman together. Alyssa Day's "Wild Hearts in Atlantis" would have been much, much better without the all-too-common "Oh, I'm so unattractive!" crap from the female lead. I suppose it would be fine for romance fans.

Another fabulous book from an incredible author!! I'm in love with every word Pepper (Tess) writes and have been a huge fan of her incredibly dark stories. Taking a chance and letting out some personal emotions she has written and shared with us something totally unlike anything she has ever written and yet its as amazing as her previous works. From dark to rom-com... she does it all flawlessly! <3 This book had me laughing my a$$ off from page one! The hysterical banter, heart-wrenching stories of animal abuse and rescue and the incredibly huge heart both Vesper and Ryder have, make this a book you won't want to put down. I struggled wanting to rush through it to wanting to savor every moment. A beautiful and hysterical love story that should not be missed!! HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended read & author!!

Description from Mira Grant's website: Post-Rising Australia can be a dangerous place, especially if you’re a member of the government-sponsored Australia Conservation Corps, a group of people dedicated to preserving their continent’s natural wealth until a cure can be found. Between the zombie kangaroos at the fences and the zombie elephant seals turning the penguin rookery at Prince Phillip Island into a slaughterhouse, the work of an animal conservationist is truly never done–and is often done at the end of a sniper rifle.

This novella is part of the newsflesh trilogy and explores how Australia would deal with a zombie outbreak. The answer is they would not bat an eyelid. This book is hilarious, well written and we get more of an insight into Mahir as he investigate's a story in Australia.

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.
