The Bane of his exisitance
A little more than half a decade has passed since the Joker tried taking over Gotham and the Batman has gone underground. A rouge mercenary known as Bane has now come to Gotham to stake his claim and make crime first and innocent last. This obviously draws out the Bat for a new fight and ends up getting help from an unlikely criminal ally known as Catwoman.
Bale has not been one of my favorite Batmen for as he is portraying a darker version. We have all grown up on different versions. Tom Hardy is good as villainous Bane and Hathaway isn't half bad as Catwoman.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2554 KP) rated Tilt-a-Whirl (John Ceepak Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Danny, a seasonal cop in a Jersey shore town, has been partnered with Ceepak, ex-military and very by the book. The two take the call of a murder on the boardwalk's tilt-a-whirl. A billionaire was shot while his daughter was on the ride next to him. Who could have done it? Definitely darker and more graphic than I normally read, the twists and very real characters kept me turning pages. I love this series still, and it's wonderful to see how the characters grow as the series progresses.

Nora awakes one cold January morning to discover the unthinkable - her husband has committed suicide. As she tries to figure out why, she begins to uncover things about his past she never knew. Will she figure out why? What else will she uncover?
Definitely a darker book than I normally read, but I am glad I did. The characters were real, the plot was tight, and the writing was so good I felt the cold of an upper New York State winter. Hard to believe this is a debut novel.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated nightbird (Gilded cage #3) in Books

fantastic third book in the series
This is the third book in this series by this author.This is the final book in this series. Wow, what a final book, I just couldn't put this book down. This is darker and more intense than the other two books. This series can not be read as stand alone reads, they must be read in order. This is a dark romance read with an element that is beautiful interwoven in the story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended series
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Unusual take on a classic story
This story follows the ups and downs of Peter Pan before the conventional stories with Wendy that we all know from Disney. Christina Henry has a knack of showing the darker side of what is a classic story. Even though it focuses on the life of children I feel like it still has a very adult feel.
I first found this amazing author when reading her book 'Alice' and have since read all of her books.
If you want to read a fantasy novel that is unusual then this is the book for you.

The fifth (and final) book in Douglas Adam's <i>Hitch-hikers Guide</i> 'trilogy', this is a book that I have read many feel should never have been written.
This is a lot more serious than the previous novels, with the overall tone a lot darker than before: for example (and very early on) Arthur Dent is back to wandering the universe, after having the love of his life whisked away from him while traveling through Hyperspace while, in an alternate reality, Tricia ('Trillian') McMillan regrets not going off with Zaphod Beeblebrox. I have to say, as well, the novel also ends on rather a down-beat note!
