The Bell Chime
By Mona Kabbani
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Can you hear the bell chime?"

A girl suffering from paralyzing night terrors finds a missing poster hanging from the door of her apartment building. On that poster is a photograph of a frighteningly familiar face.

It’s her.

Only, she’s never seen this photo before and something about its grin scares her. How its eyes seem to follow her no matter where she finds herself in the room.

Over a series of strange events to follow—events that will make her question whether her sanity is still there or fleeting—she must discover:

What is real and what is the nightmare?

This was eerily sad in so many ways. As someone who deals with psychosis and depression it struck home so hard! The question in the the foreword is thought provoking what exactly would you give up for peace of mind or happiness? Really well written.

The Perfect Wife
By J.P. Delaney
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Abbie wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. By her side is her husband Tim, the driven British founder of one of the world's most ground-breaking tech companies. They met when she joined his startup as artist-in-residence, their marriage a Silicon Valley fairy tale.

But as Abbie's memories return, she realises there's something missing from Tim's version of events. Because, five years ago, Abbie Cullen-Scott was pronounced dead . . .

I couldn’t fault this book I had to go with 5⭐️. It was so bloody good. I asked my husband if he could remake me would he? He said no bloody chance ones enough! Guess I’m not the perfect wife 🤣🤣.
The ending to this was intense and definitely a twist I didn’t know where it was going. Really enjoyed it.

"I see you"

This film once more immerses the viewer within the planet of Pandora, with the movie itself far more of a.direct sequel to 'The Way of Water' than that movie was to the original.

As such, we're more following the Sully kids (including their adopted human son, Spider) than Jake Sully or Neytiri themselves as a new Na'vi nihilist clan - the Ash, who live near a volcano and reject Ayawa - are introduced, showing a side to Na'vi culture that has previously been missing in that not all clans live in peace and harmony with each other.

I've read some criticisms that say this is largely a repeat of 'Fhe Way of Water' and - while there is some truth to that - this still is largely it's own film, although it does assume the viewer is familiar with the previous films (and tests their bladder control somewhat).
