The second book in the Mythology series continues pretty much where book one finished. Micah and Hope are together, but Micah is having to fight his instincts every step of the way, which has an impact on how he and Hope are. She is supportive in every sense, but she can't fight every battle for him. Things are not easy for them both though, either at school or in their personal lives. They both have choices to make and things to do, which will lead them in differing ways. Will they be able to work this through?
This is a full-on and action-packed book. Although I enjoyed it, it didn't have as much impact on me as the first one, I think because it is quite fragmented into which story is currently being told. Don't get me wrong, I understand that this is the way it needs to be to cover everything and to get the story told, I'm just not a big fan of separate storylines within one.
This is well written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found. The storyline was smooth (within each particular story) and culminated together nicely at the end. A good addition to the series, and I'm still looking forward to continuing Micah and Hope's story.

I am a sucker for horror books ever since I picked up The Rats by James Herbert when I was a teenager and I have been hooked ever since so when I saw this title offered for review by the publisher, Samhain Publishing, on Netgalley, I requested a copy in the hope that I would be chosen to provide an unbiased review. I was. Unfortunately, what I read wasnt horror for me which was a bit of a disappointment to be honest; it was more like a murder/mystery.

Dreamy, 80s quality
Hope it's not following me
I really enjoyed this movie. Nowadays, it takes more than a jump scare and some blood to get me to hop out of my seat and pay attention. I need atmosphere and creep factor and this movie delivered.
The old "killer goes after those that have sex in a horror movie" rule gets turned on its head with a new and, dare I say it, modern perspective.
I loved the eclectic, old Polaroid quality of each shot, giving the movie a retro vibe while being futuristic at the same time -- setting the movie in no exact time frame.

Similar to his earlier book 'The Rest of Us Just Live Here', Patrick Ness switches betweens a main narrative and a parallel narrative within the same world, with an unexpected cross between the two at the end. I brought this book and finished it the day after, an easy read but one full of very real characters battling with homophobia and the inevitability of growing up and change. With this book I only hope more diverse LGBTQIA+ representation occurs throughout literature.

Initially, I really loved this film. I loved the nostalgia, and the fact that the original trio was brought back. I liked the new characters, and how everything came together. The opening scene was probably one of my favorites out of the film. The new trio had perfect casting, but I do think The Last Jedi ruined it a bit.
Then I realized I liked it so much because it mirrored A New Hope. Episode 4 is my favorite Star Wars film. Yes, it works, but Ep 4 does it better.
Anyway, I'm just glad this trilogy is being given back to Abrams to fix.

Wow. Just wow. What a story. This reminded me heavily of The Lovely Bones. The stories bore some similarities. I liked how the book was referenced in the story (pay attention or you’ll miss it).
The story moved along well. I personally had the plot figured out mid book but then again I watch hours and hours of criminal programs so I’m kind of an armchair expert haha.
I enjoyed the fact it jumped from perspective. It gave personality to the story.
The loss of a child. Unanswered questions. A runaway? Murder? Kidnapping? Hope. Heartbreak. Betrayal. Guilt. This story has a plethora of emotions. Definitely a must read.

Better than Lord of the Rings
I read this when I was a child. It was the first proper book I ever reviewed. I loved it. I listened to it on Audio which was ok. Ive seen the cartoon film and I loved the most recent films. The book is still the best. Reading it as a child, I could conjure up vivid images and hear them speak in my mind. I went adventuring along with them, and felt what they felt. It was written for children but still inspires me as an adult. It's a fantasy tale of heroism and hope against the odds. It's definately worth reading.

Since I'm home, sick with the flu, I decided to watch both Fyre Festival documentaries.
This was the one I watched first, and it focused more on the setup of the festival itself. It was kind of amazing to watch the clusterf*** from the inside, and it was kind of humorous. It was interesting, and a complete train wreck. I really hope that d-bag that was in charge of it didn't profit from it at all, because that'd be really messed up.
I do find it hard to sympathize with all of the rich kids and ridiculous 'influencers'. If it seems too good to be true, it is.
