Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Unbreakable (Unbreakable, #1) in Books

Jan 11, 2021

Hmmm...

I struggled with this. I think it was because we missed the relationship build up between Gabe and Jess. It just started with them getting together and I liked to "read" it happen. From there I just sort of lost interest.

That was until the incident around the 40% mark. And it was Gabe I felt sorry for most, with how she pushed him away when all he wanted to do was hold her and love her. You could see and feel his torment in his chapters and I felt his pain.

That being said, I have to say I liked Landon. He was a cocky bugger, but we got to read about the build up between him and Jess, which we missed at the beginning with Gabe, and I felt sorry for him too, near the end.

I have to admit, I'd love to read his story when it comes out.

Movie Rating

Ensconced in her sprawling California mansion, eccentric firearm heiress Sarah Winchester believes she is haunted by the souls of people killed by the Winchester repeating rifle.

I find this house really interesting, it's on my list of things to do on a road trip of America. It's bizarre, and I love bizarre. Throw in Helen Mirren and I was going to be all over this film.

I did discover one thing from going to see this though... I really can't watch horror films in the cinema. I generally don't find them to be very good films, but that being said I do easily jump at things even if I know they're coming.

I love the idea behind it, and I thought the story was a good way of doing it, but the end result felt a little lacking to me. It does get some kudos for not being as predictable as some horror movies though.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Web of Lies (Elemental Assassin, #2) in Books

Sep 5, 2019

As a romance reader, I love any hint of romance between the characters in books and in this, after what happened between Gin and Donovan in the first book, my hopes soared. But with it being Urban Fantasy, romance isn't really a major plotline in it.

The more I read the more I understood that things probably weren't going to work out well between these two. A (semi) retired assassin and the only un-crooked cop in the force? Hmm...

But lo and behold we have a new love interest! So I'm still pretty happy.

As for the rest of the story, I got dragged into it. I really wanted Gin to kick everyone's arses and come out on top and although it got a little dicey in places she did!

I'm off to start book 3 to read what she's going to get up to next (and hopefully she'll get a little hot and heavy with the new guy!)
