My name is Terra, and I’m a Psychic. I have visions, and I need them now more than ever. Of the twelve that escaped from Portiside Prison, one is back behind bars but the rest are still out there, desperate and all the more dangerous for it.

I need to focus, but things between me and my boss are spiralling dangerously out of control, and I’m starting to see my partner in ways I’ve never seen him before—ways I’ve never even considered. I need a moment of clarity, but a body’s been found; our only lead being a single feather, black as night. Clarity can wait.

There’s no rest for the wicked.

Can’t tell you how much I love this series and writer! I love Terra she is a main character that is so well balanced I took an instant like to her. Cole is a bit of a dick in this one I’m slowly starting to switch loyalty and rooting for Kaleb to win her heart instead. Loved this storyline and actually felt pain for Raven such a sad existence. Really good book can’t wait to see what havoc is caused on Earth side!

BookInspector (124 KP) rated Hank Brodt Holocaust Memoirs: A Candle and a Promise in Books

Sep 24, 2020

For me, it is always incredibly sad to read holocaust memoirs or any memoirs related to concentration camps. The amount of suffering it has brought to the innocent people, it is hard to comprehend.

The description of this book is pretty accurate. This book is a story of a poor polish- Jewish boy called Hank, and how he survived the Holocaust. The story starts with Hank’s childhood to post survival activities. After being taken to the concentration camp, Hank did not stay for long in one place, he was transported many times to different camps, and he shared the events he had to endure and people he met.

The book is accompanied by plenty of photos of different events, different concentration camps which Hank was transported to, and also pictures of Hank’s family. I loved the short chapters, and I finished this memoir in one sitting. For me it was gripping and I really wanted to find out what happened next after each chapter. So, to conclude, I am very happy that Hank had a chance to survive and shared his experiences with all the readers. It was a horrible period in human history, and I believe that it should not be left forgotten. So, if you into WWII books, give this book a go, it is a chilling read, filled with pain and sorrow, but it shows, that even in the worst of times, some people can still keep their kindness.

Not Enough Conflict For Me

A director is forced to confront his past when an old flame shows up.

Acting: 10

Beginning: 4

Characters: 10

Cinematography/Visuals: 10
From a cinematic standpoint, I dare call the movie a masterpiece, or this portion of it rather. Love the way the movie unfolds on screen. Regardless of how I feel about the movie as a whole, it is visually beautiful.

Conflict: 2

Entertainment Value: 7

Memorability: 8
This movie is full of poignant cinematic moments that remain etched in your brain. Director Pedro Almodovar has an extreme talent for capturing just the right moment in time that is perfect. It is like watching a beautiful dream unfold.

Pace: 7

Plot: 5
There is a story here, but too often it felt aimless. This was one of the biggest misses for me, the fact that I could never really get a good grasp on where this movie was going. I was hoping for more of an arrowed directive.

Resolution: 6
Decent ending, but again I felt like there was something lacking here. I was hoping for more closure for Salvador (Antonio Banderas) the main character. It didn’t feel like the proper sum to its parts.

Overall: 69
Heartfelt, Pain and Glory certainly means well. I can see what it was trying to do, but I felt like the execution could have been much better. A stronger story most certainly would have sold me.
