Predictable
Very Basic, but still Enjoyable Enough
You know, I actually enjoyed this film. Yes it’s predictable and doesn’t do anything that hasn’t been done before. AND it feels like a typical Liam Neeson film. Not to mention the one dimensional bad guys.

But I can’t help but love Liam Neeson. And I’m a sucker for those “older man helps kid” storylines. I find the film heartwarming and it somehow struck a cord with me. Plus it wasn’t too long so it didn’t feel like it dragged on. Not an amazing movie by any means, but I found myself fairly engaged.

By and large, films based on video games are never that great, with the odd exception.

This isn't one of those exceptions
While I have played a few of the MK games in my life, if you'd asked me to name any of the characters I'd probably have a hard time, beyond the 'big names' of Scorpion, Sub-Zero and (maybe) Jax.

Cole Young?

Never heard of him.

Fighting games also don't - generally - have all that much in the way of plot, which carries across to this: something about a tournament (d'uh!), and the fighters needing to train for it whilst the bad guys ignore the rules ...

took a while for me to fully engage!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Keyes is a fully fledged patched member of the Disciples of Havoc club. Alec is a member of the DA's team who seems to have it out for the club. Can the biker see past the suit? Can the lawyer see past the tattoos?

I love Kindle Alexander and their work, you know I do, but I did struggle a bit with this one!

It took me til well past half way to fully engage with Keyes and Alec and I've no idea why, and you KNOW that pains me so! And just when I thought we would get an HEA?? NO, its a bloody Happy For Now sort of ending and that really did annoy me! There is a bit at the back that says about the continuation of Key and Alec's story, but that's not the point. I was expecting a Happy Ever After, I WANTED a HEA, and I didn't get it.

Once I'd fully immersed myself in the story, I did enjoy it. Both guys have a say, both guys are polar opposites and it shows in so many ways, but I love those sorts of pairings. Key and Alec have instant and powerful attraction, hot off the charts chemistry that burns long and bright the whole way through to that HFN ending.

We still don't know just why that particular DA is going after the group, I expect that will become a little more clearer in the next book.

There are a couple of mentions of other Kindle Alexander characters, and they slot in well into the overall plot line. Not gonna say who though, and they ARE just mentions. But well played there!

I really do need their next book, Chaos, to see if that gives me my HEA I want for these guys.

Now I've gotten over my little hissy fit about the ending, I've decided NOT to let it show in my rating, cos that's really not very fair. So, ONLY because of the long time it took me to engage, . . .
