Holy wow, this was wonderful. It has magic, to be specific earth magic, and it has mystery and love and paranormal. There is fighting, making up, love, night life, magic, and so much more. Alex Conner is witty, sexy, strong, and a mystery. Parker Sinclair's writing takes you on a whirlwind of emotions and intrique and mystery. It is an amazing start to a wonderful series and it will pull you into this fast paced story that you have to keep reading until it's over and you still need more. I cannot wait for book 2 and to see what happens next.

I love romance. I am a sucker for a good love story. I will aww and sob my way through books and movies and pray for my prince charming to come and whisk me off my feet.

You: Aasiyah, that's not how real life works.

I know, I know, rose-tinted glasses and all that, but honestly, sometimes that kind of view can get us through the day and give us something to look forward to.

Sometimes it's nice to take a break from reality.

WOW
I love Robin Williams so I was hesitant to watch this,,,but my man, Dwayne Johnson, did a good job on this one. It was quite different than the original, although the premise is the same. They jump into a video game and start living it. The best part is the characters that they become and how they learn more about themselves by being those characters. I love the movie, the story line and the ending. Amazing

I cannot stop the story from spinning in my mind still. I have been stewing over this read for the past hour or so. I love her storytelling. Her descriptions make you feel like you are truly there and can nearly feel the breeze blowing off the lake into your window... or her writing would make you think you can. I cannot get enough of this writer. I have read Never Knowing and now this one, Still Missing and I am pre-ordering her next book due out in June. I couldn't put this book down. I just love these thrillers.

If you love the likes of A Fault in Our Stars, Everything Everything or 100 Days or Sunlight you will love this coming of age story. It focuses on two people; Finch who has had a tough childhood and suffers from depressive episodes and Violet who has recently lost her sister in a car accident. The find each other on a ledge and Finch makes its his mission to save Violet from the spiral she has found herself in by exploring Indiana. It takes you on an emotional ride, but only one of them makes it in the end and it is heartwrenching!

Robert Downey Jr. is fantastic

Iron man is fantastic. I dont think anyone else could portray Iron Man as well as Robert Downey Jr. He has captured the perfect amount of arrogance, sass and comedy in this character. I also love his vulnerability and subsequent power found from this with the shrapnel in his chest.

 I love the whole idea that this could be true as the technology is quite believable. Jarvis and Pepper are great characters that really bring out the Iron Man character aswell.


The story is good with some interesting twists and turns.

"From the opening shots of Daniel Day Lewis running through a forest in chase of a deer, to the finale when he’s sprinting across a mountain to protect his brother, this is my kind of romance – men and women living upon the earth, fighting for love, and willing to die for nothing more than honor. It may not be the ‘greatest love story’ ever told, but when Day Lewis promises to find Madeleine Stowe’s character, no matter where she goes, before jumping off a waterfall, that’s one of the great scenes in cinema history. Kudos to Michael Mann."

"This is a record I've just fallen in love with. I've known Miles Davis and some Charles Mingus before, but this is something else. I was given it as a present, and I've just been captivated by it. It's so packed with emotion, and it takes you to all these different places in love: struggle, pain, joy, transcendence, chaos and calm. 

It also feels so complete in the story it tells musically. And to have this whole new musical adventure now, to be thrown into this other world, in this music I never listened to when I was younger, is really exciting."
