Latter-day Almodóvar movie doesn't have the warmth or lightness of most of his best films, but retains an undeniable emotional power. Julieta (Adriana Ugarte and then Emma Suarez) meets a man and falls in love, loses him, and struggles to resolve her relationship with her daughter. The themes of the movie include the danger of secrets, the cruel randomness of fate, and the corrosive effects of despair and isolation, and this is certainly a very poignant film; tough to watch in places.

However, Almodóvar's deftness remains unimpaired and the two lead actresses give superb performances, remaining fully sympathetic even when the character is less than entirely accessible. Some may find the style of the film a bit overblown, even a touch camp, and others may miss the cheery transgressiveness and humour of earlier Almodóvar projects. But on its own terms this is a very successful and impressive piece of art.

Hunted ( The Warrior chronicles book2)
By K.F. Breene

With a new Chosen coming forward, Shanti has lost sight of her duty. With her plans unraveling, she does the only thing she can think of-- frees her brother and a mysterious stranger from a Graygual camp before heading back to beg for Cayan's aid.

Unfortunately, that stranger was precious to the enemy, guarded by one of the elite. A Superior Officer known as the Hunter, this man always catches his prey, and his focus is now on the elusive, violet-eyed girl and the man she ripped from the his hands.

With danger mounting, and one of the best constantly on her heels, Shanti will learn that running will never be enough.


Well it was ok. Only marginally better than book 1. I stuck with it despite wanting to DNF it a few times.

Wren is a witch who has disaster unintentionally follow her wherever she goes people get hurt around her. For some reason she has been sent to a boot camp to become a special agent even though she would rather go to prison!

She finds her self, friends and more all whilst training.


This is the first book in the series of the wring witch and I already want to read the next. I was so completely engrossed I felt like I was speed reading. The descriptions given of the different species for want of a better word, and the gifts they have I could see the character come to life.


We have mystery, laughs, hard work, heartache, fights, friendship, and love making (very, very steamy love making) it's a real feast for the imagination


A captivating book with a gripping storyline I really can't wait for the next!
