This book is such an amazing, attention gripping story about the adventure of half blood Percy Jackson. The link between the real world and the fantasy world of Greek mythology makes this novel stand out amongst others, it makes the whole plot of the story much more exciting as well as being educational about Greek beliefs in mythology.

Funny, easy watching
Somehow I keep watching Dave Bautista films and wondering why I end up writing reviews like this. He is very obvious actor. In AOD the main story between Dav and his daughter is very forced down your throat and could have been done subtley.
I love the characters, the setting, storyline and general zombie stupidity. I think there were a few plot holes that were filled hastily and it was interesting to see the twist on the usual zombies.
Long for what the story consists of.

Beautiful and heartwarming
This beautiful short story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Vicki and Nicholas, both amazing people, both struggled with self-confidence for different reasons. Their meeting is a definite meet cute and is just the start of sweet story that combines romance and surprises.
This is perfect for a chilled out afternoon. By the end I was wanting more, I'd love to delve a little deeper, see where things go from where we left off.
I'm thrilled that this is part of the In Darkness series, more supernatural stories to enthrall and delight!

When I read the blurb I thought oooooooh I can't wait and a started it, read the first chapter and thought hmmmm this may not be for me and I read a different book.
I then went back to it and it must have been me just not being in the right genre mindset because the 2nd chapter onwards I was hooked.
I love love love vampire books and it was a new take on the human / vampire love story.
The character building was amazing and there are so many layers to each character.
I think it's awesome that she was the one to chase and stalk the vampire and I'm gutted the book ended as I want to know what happens next so I'm looking forward to the sequel :)

Funny script
I love Rebel Wilson. She is funny, smart and everything she is in seems a little bit brighter and this is no exception.
Yes it's your typical rom-com, cheesy love story and funny script, but it knows it is and it makes sure that you know it too.
It almost has a 13 going on 30 twist too it although with their own take on it and although I love Rebel I thought I was going to be a bit bored... But I wasn't.
If you want something light hearted, funny, eye candy for the guys and girls, with a bit of love thrown in there then check this film out.
Oh and the sound track is amazing, great choices there, couldn't help but sing along too it!!

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Hunted: An Erotic Retelling of Beauty and the Beast (Hunted by the Beast, #1-5) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I ended up having a love-hate relationship with this novel that leaned more towards hate than love. I was excited for this story because the story of the Beauty and the Beast is one of my all time favorite fairytales, and I love erotic fairytales. However, the story was off-putting from the very beginning.
I am very much against slut-shaming, but Danya was obnoxious. Even as someone who enjoys sex, I found her character unbelievable, unrelatable, and extremely childish. I thought she made poor decisions and her sex drive bordered on ridiculous. I couldn't force myself to like her, or her sister for that matter who fell in love after being ravaged by a man she didn't even know.
This story had a lot of potential, but somewhere early in the beginning, the train jumped the track and never seemed to get back on. I almost did not finish it. I reached the sex scene where the Beast was shoving Danya's chest onto a steak she was eating as he took her savagely from behind and just had to set the book down. I could not even pretend to find this erotic. Most of the erotic scenes were not horrible, some were actually very steamy, but some reached a point of absurd.
I did pick it back up at a later date to finish it. It never became any better, but it also did not get worse. What I did appreciate about this book was the author's courage to write erotic scenes that differed from the cliche and overused mainstream formula you can find in pretty much any novel you pick up.
