Some kind of Monster ( Friends with Monsters book2)
By Albany Walker

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Naughty girls need love too.

A beautiful monster, that’s what I am. My packaging is just a little nicer than the creatures you hear about dwelling in your closet.

With three baddies for my mates, things are definitely getting interesting. I think I’ve even convinced them not to kill each other.

But I have a new purpose, someone is hurting our kind. Stealing Charmed magic in arcane rituals that leave my friends drained and dead, and I won’t allow it.

It’s time for them to find out why even the Monsters fear me.

I am the bad guy



I absolutely loved this books! The only reason they are not getting 5 stars is at a few points I Dami got on my nerves. But other than those few moments it was a good story with amped up spice for the second book. Also good spice not the boring sort you just flick through. Highly recommended for those that love supernatural books with some good spicy bits! Plus if you only read it for one thing then read it for Grim!!!

Not my favourite
It's been a while since I saw this film, but one of the most important things I came away with after watching this film was how forgettable it was. It was no way in the league of other renowned Pixar films such as Monsters Inc or Toy Story, and it was too far fetched and a little silly in comparison to the other films.

While I enjoy mythology, and it's a great way for young people to explore other cultures, I don't think it's for adults as such.

This is a story about a 10 year old boy named Jack. Jack has Aspergers and is misunderstood by other kids and adults. To complicate things, he has a major fear of the outside and will not leave the house at all. Recently, he has been enthralled with drawing. Drawing monsters... Very eerie! I won't say horrifying, but it was definitely good and creepy. It starts off easy, and gradually it gets harder to put down. The ending was ALMOST abrupt, but all of a sudden was a perfect ending. Also, this one takes place in Maine!

Can be played solo. Excellent Story lines. Streamlined combat. (0 more)
Would like more variety to monsters. Everything seems like a Zombie, and they make a lot of unnecessary noise. (0 more)
Join a Secret Society and Save the World.
Secret World Legends is re-released and is free to play. It has been simplified. The combat is streamlined. The story lines and acting is still engaging. A player can advance in level with a minimum of grinding and most quests are appropriate for solo players. Funcom has just released a end game raid for New York. They have been committed to releasing new material.

I put this one off for a long time because I heard it wasn't very good. I'm glad I finally watched it. The effects were pretty cool and the acting was on par with most action movies. The story was "fantastical" like any sci-fi movie should be- not really believable but fun to watch. It played out well and had plenty of great action sequences. The monsters were pretty cool too. This eas like "Halo" meets "Godzilla". It's even "kid friendly".If you love sci-fi action adventures(and haven't seen it already) this one is worth a watch!

McKellen teamed up with director Bill Condon in 1998 for Gods & Monsters. This period drama recounts the partly fictionalised last days of the life of film director James Whale, whose experience of war in the First World War is a central theme.

Although criticised for being overly-simplistic, McKellen’s performance received rave reviews, and he was nominated for his first Academy Award in the Best Actor category. Unfortunately, he didn’t go on to win this time around, but it remained a highlight in a career filled with fabulous work.

While Percy and Annabeth battle through Tartarus to reach a way to get back to our world, the rest of their friends attempt to reach Greece to help them. But with monsters attacking both groups, will anyone make it?

While I wasn't happy with the last book in the series, this one was much better. The plot kept moving forward quickly and all of the main characters got some great development. Fans should be pleased.

I was able to purchase this app after winning the Google Play App giveaway here on Smashbomb.
My brother saw this game on his Nintendo Switch a couple of months ago, and since he sent me the name, I'd wanted to download it. Luckily, with the giveaway win, I was able to.
Cat Quest is a fun, cute RPG, where you play as a cat that goes on quests, defeats monsters, and learns magic. It's easy to play, and to level up to get some serious questing done. Overall, I love this game, and will continue playing it every day.

Ssshhhhh!
I wasn't sure about this film to start with but gave it a go.
The main story is basically about a family who have to be quiet or the alien type monsters that live within the grounds will attack.
The family use sign language to communicate and have mastered various methods for getting around the house and local area without making any noise.
It is a survival film and although it was strange watching a film with barely any talking in it i did actually enjoy it!
