Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Running Blind (One-Eyed Jacks, #3) in Books

Cindy Gerard really does know how to write military romance. I really do love her writing but I felt like there is something missing with this series. The writing is good, I always am enraptured by the characters but it just doesn't have the quality of her other military/special ops series.
With that said, I really liked this book. I felt that it was a little slower paced but all in all, the characters were well written and the plot was interesting. I wish that it help my attention more but it was a good read.

The search for a missing daughter unfolds before our eyes on a computer screen, pulling together clues and information from social media and messaging services. While there have been a couple of decent horror movies recently employing this method of storytelling, none of them have been as effective as this. Edge of seat, intense drama with a few twists and turns towards the end. This may have gripped me a lot more than it normally would, as I have a daughter in her early teens, just starting to build an online life of her own, but wow this movie was 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.

Campy 80s goodness
I love movies like this in my basement alone the Saturday night before Halloween!
When a bunch of teenagers start coming up missing, the authorities are baffled. Who could be responsible? It couldn't be the mysterious Virginia could it?
The death scenes are kind of what an 80s version of a Final Destination film would look like I think. The main star is Melissa Sue Anderson who must have wanted to break stereotype while filing Little House on the Prairie s she played the bad girl this time.
Thoroughly enjoyable film.

David McK (3745 KP) rated Firestorm (Weather Warden, #5) in Books

I quite enjoyed the first Weather Warden book ("Ill Wind").
The second ("Heat Stroke") was even better
Unfortunately, the third, and then the fourth ("Chill Factor" and "Windfall", respectively) were a bit of a let-down.
Thankfully, this is a return to form: picking up almost exactly from the end of "Windfall", this is faster-moving than it's predecessor, more engaging and more action-packed.
R.E.M. sang it best: "It's the end of the world as we know it ..." (even if, for some inscrutable reason, that track is missing from the authors' own suggestion of what to listen to while reading)

It was better than the book (1 more)
The casting
A mindless but okay movie
I liked the casting and watched this because I do like some Nicholas Sparks on occasion. I'd read the book and it was mediocre at best. The film exceeded the book but still there is something significant missing in plot development. The main story in the house has some feeling but the background story as to why Gere's character is in the area lacked realism. It was still a decent movie to pass the time, but not desperately memorable.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Only Built 4 Cuban Linx by Raekwon in Music
May 2, 2020
Rolling Stone's 480th greatest album of all time
This is Raekwon's, real name Raemond Kwon (joke), debut solo album on a brief break from WuTang Klan. I like my hip hop with a good amount of focus on the actual music, and for me this was somewhat missing throughout the album. This means the album is more of a collection of shouts over basic drum beats. Add to this the frequent interludes of people arguing and swearing at each other (seriously how and why do they record these interludes?!) it makes the album a little boring and samey.
