Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated By Chance (Courtland Chronicles, #1) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

Hmmm...I read this because after finishing Cut & Run yesterday I was still in the mood for a little m/m romance. Unfortunately this didn't hook me as much and I was a little bored by the story line, that's not to say it was bad, because it isn't. It just didn't hold my attention as much as a thriller.

I've even had a nosy at the rest of the series and after reading the acknowledgements section after the story, I have to admire the author for her...balls? in writing a series that spans twenty years and involves the development of Eric and Nick's life's while involving a wife for one of them.

I'm not entirely sure if I'll continue it yet, but I'll certainly keep it in mind for the future.

Director Ari Aster returns with another homage to the classic horror movie Wicker Man. Every 90 years, a secluded Swedish town holds a festival to honor the old gods. It is expected that anyone raised in the town will ensnare gullible undergrads to serve as guests of honor of the festivities. While this serves as the plot of the surface story, the true horror is the toxic romance of a dying relationship. The woman is an emotional burden who is starting to see the cracks in the relationship. The guy is hanging out with his guy friends too much, he has no future goals and emotionally immature, and is about to forget her birthday. When she suffers a major tragedy, leaving her completely alone even if she has that boyfriend, she tags along to Sweden.

Weakest of the trilogy but still enjoyable

So this movie picks up right where chapter 2 ended with john going on the run.A brutal first 20 minutes of action follows (the library scene is brilliant) but once that is over the story starts to get a little dull.Everything feels rushed with john going from one country to another, then the massive fight scene with halle berry and 2 german shepherd dogs which felt like it had so much going on in it that you just couldn't keep up with it.

But thankfully once john is back on home soil things improve again leading up to the big finale at the continental hotel.All in all another excellent addition to the franchise and things are set up for a fourth movie to come along in the future
