Short to play, but incredibly fun
Oxenfree was a beautifully styled coming-of-age story that pulled the player into the relationships between characters as much as into the drama of the ghost story. At times intense and a little scary (I'm a baby about stuff like that though), but also sweet and compelling. I really wanted everyone to be okay, although I fudged a bunch and not everyone made it out alive.

The actions have consequences aspect is great. The choices felt like realistic situations for the teenagers and each bad/good decision was believable.



Plan on playing this again in the near future to try and better improve my favorite character's chances!

Wow!!! What an awesome book!! I had not read anything by this author before and I must say that winning an ARC of this book turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Montanari is truly a masterful storyteller. The book was dark and sinister but I was sucked in from the get go. The mystery kept me guessing until the very end which doesn't happen all that often to me with books in this genre. The best part is the story is believable despite some crazy unexpected twists and turns.
The two main characters, detectives Byrne and Jessica were interesting believable characters. They made the story what it is and didn't let it get too far over the top. I definitely look forward to reading more by this author in the future!

A Tale Worth Telling
Before this show came out I didn't know much about it, but after the first few episodes dropped and the buzz around the show began, I looked into it and decided to give it a go. I can certainly say that I'm glad I did.
This is a dark twisted tale, taking place in a near future dystopia. We follow a young woman called June, who's life is turned around when new laws are brought in that essentially brings America back to the dark ages. She is resilient though and she won't give up and won't stop fighting back, which is gripping to see play out.
If you are looking for an exciting thriller to make you think, check this out.

Hit and Miss
I am a huge fan of both leads in the movie and I thought that the trailers leading up to this were hilarious, so why did I feel let down with this one?
I reckon I need to temper my expectations more in future and not go in expecting anything of significance. The vast majority of the jokes in the movie were already shown in the trailers leading up to the film's release and really the only character that felt fresh and genuinely cracked me up, was Salma Hayek's character. If you like these actors you will have a fairly forgettable good time with this one, but if not feel free to give this a skip.

Potential and Change
Set in a future where people have retreated to walled cities, if they are lucky. Between the cities lies ravaged wasteland, mutants, polluted landscapes, disaster. Only Native American Enclaves have avoided the pollution running rampant through land and society. Years ago they withdrew with their superior technology, waiting for the day when their skills are needed to restore the Earth and heal the people. Gazhee, dogscout of the People, has been sent from his Enclave to report back on conditions and serve as the eyes of his people. His first task is to find out what happened to the Enclave plane brought down by someone in the nearest city. Has the time for healing begun, or is all hell about to break loose?
