Cori June (3033 KP) rated Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock #1) in Books
Dec 3, 2018 (Updated Nov 8, 2019)
This is a good series. The main character is a little different. not only because Jane Yellowrock is a Cherokee shinkwalker. She is a walking contradiction that is socially awkward. For a sexually charged series (seriously, what kind of Vampire book isn't?) Jane is a bit of a prude; in the first book she does blush a lot and while the author does have slightly small not quite choppy sentences throughout the series, there it's a point to it.
Slight Spoiler:
The sentences get smaller/choppy when Beast is at the fore and/or when there is a lot if action.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Open House (2010) in Movies

Well I spotted this was directed by Anna Paquin's brother and also had Stephen Moyer from True Blood on the cover, unfortunately they are not the main stars of the film. Rachel Blanchard of the TV series Clueless is the main lead.
This falls into the category of weird films, there isn't a lot of back story or explanation really into the why or what of what is going on. Reminded me a lot of Funny Games. Quite bloody and brutal, ok for a low budget film but a bit more plot would have be nice....and Anna Paquin!

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated A Fool There Was (Sukey Reynolds, #10) in Books

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I liked this book need a teensy bit less than #9 but i can't really put my finger on why.
Sukey and Vicky see a suspicious man passing off an envelope and then he dies in a car crash that seems very suspicious.
A head found on the beach is connected and our friends s and V are on the case .
I don't know, this one just seemed a lot more slow going for me.
I like it a lot, though!

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was a really cool take on the little mermaid story. I have no idea if that was intentional because this book is about sirens not mermaids but there are definitely parallels.
I really like Annie's family issues. They informed a lot of her character and explained a lot.
It was a bit slow at first but once it gets going it does not stop. This could easily be a stand alone but I'm really hoping for a sequel!
