Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Shady Lady (Corine Solomon, #3) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
To be honest I don't think this book should be shelved with paranormal romances at all. It deserves to be called urban fantasy, or something along those lines, because relationships are not the main focus of the plot.
Corine has changed a great deal from the beginning of the series, and we learn much more about her background in this volume, explaining some of her behavior. The exposition is never tiresome or without reason — it's worked into the plot very nicely. I enjoy seeing character development, and getting more of the "why" helps the reader make sense of her decisions.
This volume feels like the end of the series, but it was a nice little trilogy and well worth reading.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated The Kill Switch (Tucker Wayne, #1) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
In The Kill Switch, Sigma enlists the help of Tucker and Kane to get a scientist and his daughter out of Russia. They are pursued by the Russian military, secret service agencies, and hired assassins as they try to escape the country and then locate an ancient plant specimen that is the focus of the doctor's work. The story was very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to Tucker and Kane's next adventure, whether that is with Sigma Force or on their own.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated The Equalizer 2 (2018) in Movies
Jun 26, 2020 (Updated Jun 26, 2020)
The plot: If you have a problem and there is nowhere else to turn, the mysterious and elusive Robert McCall will deliver the vigilante justice you seek. This time, however, McCall's past cuts especially close to home when thugs kill Susan Plummer -- his best friend and former colleague. Now out for revenge, McCall must take on a crew of highly trained assassins who'll stop at nothing to destroy him.
So after the first movie, he retired being a equalizer and became a lyft driver.
Anyways its a good movie to end the month of Denzel. Next up Mel Gibson.
