Kristina (502 KP) rated Berkley Street (Berkley Street Series Book 1) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
I wouldn't necessarily call Berkley Street "bone chilling" or "spine tingling", but it was certainly interesting. Kind of put me in the mind of Rose Red, not that I've actually read the book, but it's how I imagine the house is explained. I was curious about the ghosts - who they are, how they got there, etc. The bonus chapters in the end gave me insight that I truly appreciated. I'm not sure if I'll continue with this series, but it's a possibility!

Exceptional Read
The story grabbed at me from the beginning. It was an author that I had never read before and it is now one that I will continue reading books from. You have to be one that enjoys a good romance with a few ghosts thrown in, but even if you are not one of those types, this book may still be one for you as it grabs at you until the very end.

At last a decent low budget horror that was quite entertaining! It had a good cast with a few familiar faces from TV of yester year. The story was something a bit different from the normal. What really made this for me though was the design, largely on animatronics and prosthetics than cgi, of the ghost characters. The production of the whole film looked pretty good for the budget. It reminded me a lot of Thirteen Ghosts. Hopefully there is scope for a sequel.....or two!

Pleasantly surprised by this horror series. I thought the trailer was a little tacky (the preview you get on netflix) but I was hooked from the first episode.
The most epic thing about this series is the hunt for the hidden ghosts. we spotted so many, purely because we are paranoid at horror series haha. But even so, it added to the intensity and anxieties of the episodes and was masterfully done. It is nice for anything horror to not rely on stupid jump scares.

Plot
Musical numbers
Prepare to get musically scrooged.
In this alternative take on the much beloved Christmas classic, things are quickly changed up when the ghosts of Christmas's past, present and future begin to skip out on fulfilling their duties due to personal issues and one particular character who is unredeemable begins to question the past of of the ghost of Christmas present.
Great musical numbers, plenty of laughs and a brilliant alternative take make this a movie definitely worth watching.

Alice (12 KP) rated The Furthest Station (Peter Grant, #5.5) in Books
Jul 3, 2018
<i>Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review </i>
<i>The Furthest Station</i> starts off with the same flair we've seen in previous installments to the Peter Grant series and I'll tell you, it's good to be back with Peter.
Though short at only 144 pages The Furthest Station is packed with enough information to give you an insight into the trouble peter can get into when left to his own devices.
This novella is about ghosts predominantly and we experience Toby the wonder dog in his element. The same characters from the previous books star with a special mention to Jaget and Abigail - Abigail in particular was brilliant - incredibly smart and up on all thing supernatural.
Ben Aaronovitch's typical descriptive monologing through Peter is as always brilliant. My favourite is below:
<blockquote> ...it is the cry of the guilty middle-class homeowner.
This sort of thing always creates a dilemma since the scale of guilt you're dealing with ranges from using a hosepipe during a ban to having just finished cementing your abusive husband into the patio.</blockquote>
The ghosts eventually give Peter the information he needs to locate a crime happening and in true Folly flair it's filled with supernatural hijinks and Nightingale at his best. The magic was few and far between but the ghosts made up for it and the relationship between Peter, Nightingale and Abigail as well as Abigail and Molly were written very well. I look forward to seeing where the growing friendship between Abigail and Molly goes in the next books.
It was a touch odd reading book 5.7 after reading book 6 but there were no crossed boundaries that made things seem complicated so great news there. Overall, very well written.
