Mirror Sacrifice ( Dark Legacy book 2)
By Margo Ryerkerk
⭐️⭐️⭐️
After escaping a serial killer, Sierra travels to London, ready to embrace her supernatural heritage.
In addition to training, she has to assert her place among the snobbish elite and decide what to do about Gavin as he grows more distant and teams up on a mission with his charming ex.
To claim her spot in the supernatural world, Sierra trains harder than ever with Cooper who tasked with protecting her soon becomes more.
But matters of the heart will have to wait as the Culpatus returns with unexpected allies and the intention to fulfill a dark prophecy that spells the end of the world.
It was good it picks up with Gavin and sierra arriving in London so she can start her training. Her and Gavin are separated as he has to go hunting for killers with his ex and she’s left with Cooper learning her powers. Safe to say all hell breaks lose and a lot of things become clear. It was decent and well written.

Merissa (12069 KP) rated The London Monster in Books
Feb 10, 2021 (Updated Jun 10, 2023)
THE LONDON MONSTER is set about one hundred years before Jack the Ripper, and tells the story of a man who attacked women at night. It became known that he would only attack beautiful women, so it was almost a 'badge of honour' to have been chosen.
I have to say, I had no idea who it was, right up until The Final Note. The characters all intermingle, and you have no idea how much until it is revealed by the author. Simply wonderful!
This book reads as a standalone and I have no idea if the real London Monster was ever truly identified. I would love to know more about Tom, Sophie, and in particular, Dalton and Cuthbert. Those two got off very lightly in my opinion.
A long book that you can fully immerse yourself in, I found this to be one of the best mysteries I have read in a long time. Absolutely recommended by me.

Cutesy but boring
Critic review by Tom Huddleston - Timeout
Read full review: https://www.timeout.com/london/film/the-boss-baby
‘The Boss Baby’ is one of those snarky, post ‘Shrek’ cartoons that desperately wants to appeal to parents as well as kids, but its snappy, pop-culture-referencing script feels workshopped to death (there’s a running joke about Gandalf that’s bafflingly unfunny). Undemanding kids might get a kick out of its jazzy, restless visual style and poo jokes, but grown-ups may well find themselves taking some impromptu nap time.

Lee (2222 KP) rated Sherlock Gnomes (2018) in Movies
May 6, 2018
Too many new, pointless characters (2 more)
Ridiculous, predictable plot
Sherlock Gnomes himself. Completely dull
A disappointing sequel to a great family movie
Gnomeo and Juliet is a firm favourite in the Boardman house. A clever mix of charm, humour and Elton John songs. Unfortunately this followup, Sherlock Gnomes, is the complete opposite. As the gnomes move to London, they get mixed up in some strange plot involving gnome kidnapping. And it's up to Johnny Depp as the dull Sherlock Gnomes to try and solve the mystery. Predictable, unfunny, and crammed full of unnecessary and uninteresting characters.

A good quick romance, hot and steamy read. This book has fantastic characters. There were some laugh out loud moments in this story. This author has a fab way of bringing emotions and experiences to each character. This is only the second book by this author that ive read by ill definitely be on the look out for more. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

This is the sequel to Me Before You. It picks up roughly 6 months after the book ends. Louisa had been traveling and returned to London. She is working in an airport bar pretty much hating the job. She meets Sam, an ambulance worker at the same time that someone from Will's past comes into her life. The book goes through Lou and the tentative beginnings of a relationship with Sam, dealing with some unexpected family issues in addition to this person from Will's past and all the feelings that dredges up. Very well written.
