Decent remake
Didn't have high hopes for this when I originally saw at the theatre, but I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't just rewatched, it holds up as a decent horror thriller with some great make up gore, work with wax (obviously) and some gruesome horror kill scenes.

It's your typical young adults stranded in backwater USA when the ghouls come out to play, but I found it entertaining if you don't think about it too much.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book contains discussions of childhood sexual abuse This is a very tense, well-plotted thriller that managed to surprise me quite a few times! It's the story of two men, Jakob in 1973 and Matthew in 2014. Both deal in some pretty gruesome murders and their fates are linked when a mummified corpse is discovered.

Love/hate relationship of main characters (0 more)
Great modern take on vampire genre
I won this book in a giveaway by Smashbomb, thank you. That said, it will not influence my review.

I haven't read many books with a prologue, this one had one and set the book up nicely that it wasn't going to shy away from the gruesome, being a vampire story you would expect nothing less.

The main characters Taz (no relation to Warner Bros one that ate everything) and Morgana (Morgan) I liked pretty much straight away for their love/hate relationship in and out of the bedroom (Some steamy scenes, be warned). Taz, arrogant, egotistical and generally full of himself, then you have Morgan, she reminded me of Selene from Underworld films in that she took no nonsense and was her own woman. They are forced to work together to solve the gruesome murders that threaten to uncover the centuries hidden vampire world that Kayla (human) thinks she is very close to uncovering.

A book that you can't put down, full of excitement, sex and vampiric action. I would highly recommend it and can't wait to read the next book.

Stephen King, when asked in an interview, claimed Carrie is the most terrifying story he has ever written and that he will never read it again.

While I don't think Carrie is THAT terrifying, I do feel that it had its moments. Everyone is familiar with the iconic image of a girl standing in the spotlights drenched in pig's blood--but what they don't know about is what comes next. A little bit gruesome and a little bit twisted, psycho nightmare, Carrie is one book that I will never be able to forget.
