A dysfunctional team of young assassins set out to make a name for themselves by killing the most notorious hitman of all time, Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Killing Gunther. Hiring a documentary crew at gunpoint to record their every step, including the undeniable proof of the execution itself, they attempt to discover Gunther’s true identity and whereabouts. But before the team can even cock their guns, things go from bad to the most horrible ever; Gunther is onto them and gleefully plots some deadly punishment of his own. The infamous killer torments the team, turning them against each other, as he remains seven moves ahead. It doesn’t take long for the hunters to become the hunted in this non-stop, cat-and-mouse dark comedy.

A film that tries to be a little quirky but doesn't manage it, still does a good job of following the story of Patti Dombrowski (Patti Cake$) as she tries everything she can to claw her way out of her ordinary town and dead end job while juggling the dysfunctional relationship with her mother, the illness of her grandmother and the constant mockery she faces for her aspirations.

The soundtrack is addictively good, none better than PBNJ and Tuff Love and there's definitely a lot of talent within the cast. The only part of the film that gets particularly touching is towards the end when they're performing the last song but otherwise the emotion is pretty absent, which is a shame because it's a film that does try to drum a lot of it up.

I really enjoyed this book! It is a creepy, atmospheric tale of a dysfunctional family full of secrets. Its a bit of a slow burn, but I think that adds to the tension. The characters are all very well written, but especially Hal. Despite knowing that what she is doing is wrong, you can't help but root for her to just get that little break she is hoping for to help get her out of the mess she has found herself in after her Mothers untimely death. Trepassen is the perfect setting for this story, complete with creepy housekeeper and was a character within itself due to the descriptive writing. 
Overall, a really good read with twists and turns to keep you guessing and a few surprises along the way.

I had an opportunity to receive an Arc from the Author Sage Spelling to read this dynamic book. I really enjoyed reading this book. You meet Emma and Chase and his father and Grandmother and other teammates in this very emotional book. The story takes place at Haywick University where Chase plays Basketball. He meets Ms. Emma and an attraction between the two becomes more then just mire acquaintances. Although there is dysfunctional behavior in this brilliant novel, it also shows the tenderness and the sense that there is a break in the cycle when Emma and Chase finally get it together and make their relationship a real go. This novel is a definite must read and should be put on your TBR to read and bought where you buy books. You will definitely love this novel by Sage Spelling.
