I like the author and have read other series by her. the book is well written with a fantastic story line and even better characters. this is a fairy tale romance with a dark hero who need to save his damsel in distress. again a fantastic written book by a fantastic author
highly recommended

Halfway through the woods
If you are not familiar with the stage show, but with fairy tales then you will love it. If you know the end of the original musical then you will be saying WTF more than once. With a talented cast and a great selection of songs, it's highly entertaining movie. Don't walk in thinking you know what's up though, since disney changed the end to save their already established characters

A fairy tale
The babadook- is a very underrated horror movie. It is chilling, frighting, scary, horrorfying, terrorfying, suspenseful and overall a great horror movie.

The plot: A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.

I would really reccordmend this movie, because not only its scary but its spooky and so many other things.

Movie Favorite

"Charles Laughton’s only film as director, scripted by James Agee from the book by Davis Grubb. It’s a fairy-tale version of a crime-suspense drama, as two children are pursued through a magical, haunted landscape by a demented yet canny preacher (Robert Mitchum). There’s a grown-up story about a stash of stolen money, but Laughton’s masterstroke is to ignore that and present the human monster from the children’s point of view, as a remorseless bogeyman."

Maleficent (2014)
2014 | Adventure, Family, Fantasy, Sci-Fi
Despite an intriguing premise - basically, Sleeping Beauty from the Evil Fairy's point of view - and Angelina Jolie (with cheekbones so sharp you could cut yourself) in the lead as Maleficent - said evil Fairy Queen - this is a somewhat insipid retelling of the tale, that just (ironically) never really takes flight at all.

Maybe worth a watch (Jolie is always good value for money) on occasion, but not one that I'd be rushing back to re-watch.

First book of a great series
I listened to this on Audible, and really enjoyed it (so much so I'll be buying the hard copy). Fae, magic, humans, adventure, romance and spiciness... A great combination! The narration on Audible is good, and I got sucked into the story very quickly. Highly recommended for anyone into fae and fairy stuff, fantasy, and magic etc.
