Auburn (57 KP) rated The Warrior Maiden (Hagenheim, #9) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
Another fantastic addition to some wonderfully reimagined fairy tales. The author does a beautiful job weaving the classic story of Mulan in a Lituanian world. It also gives us a look at two of the youngest members of the Duke of Hagenheims family.
Throughout each book another fairytale unfolds and one of the Dukes children is a central part. I enjoy seeing what happened to the older children now married and how we receive a glimpse of their furtures through these books.
As always it is a well done version of Mulan that captures the soul of a warrior. A must read for fans of romance, fairy tales, and Melanie Dickerson's stories.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2271 KP) rated Attack of the BULLIES (NERDS, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Now that Miss Information has entered the scene, the kids in NERDS are over worked trying to stop her many schemes. But when she creates her own team, the BULLIES, will Ruby be able to leads the NERDS to stop them?
This is the final book in the series, and it goes out in fine form. There's action. There's laughs. And Ruby gets her turn in the spotlight as well. The book does a good job of wrapping things up in a way that will satisfy fans. It certainly did for me.

AVAILABLE NOW!
Like most other reviewers, Im digging the way this was laid out. Its set up as if were reading a blog, we get the post and then we get the comments too. Its fun and informal. My only issue with the blogging aspect of this is that the characters type like idiots and occasionally use abbreviations I dont understand.
There are a number of characters in this novel when you include all the blog family. Our main characters are Fickel, Mysterious Hottie and Burly Bear and I didnt particularly like any of them...

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated The Guard (The Selection, #2.5) in Books
Jan 2, 2019
By now you will be quite familiar with Aspen Leger. The man who first broke America's heart and the main reason she signed up for the selection in the first place. But who is the man behind the sweet words and tender kisses? The man who thought he had nothing to offer.
"We know you're strong, but accepting help is its own kind of strength."
- Happily Ever After (The Guard) - page 244
There are several scenes that overlap from The Elite in this novella. It was enlightening to see these scenes unfold through Aspen's perspective. Very helpful overall to learn more about his character. It is perfect to read AFTER The Elite.

Ducklady (1174 KP) rated Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) in Movies
Aug 29, 2019 (Updated Aug 29, 2019)
Started off well and the actors were great
It starts off with another set of "loser club" like kids. They were a pretty decent set of actors although their characters make some questionable decisions (but dont all characters in horror). The monsters were so well-made and didn't rely heavily on CGI which was really fantastic.
The ending was very predictable and the scares got lost and folky tales got completely lost.
Now im gonna have to read the book and hope that the sarah bellows storyline was made up for the movie, as that was weird and didn't quite cut it for a background story.

Vengeance ( Out for Blood book 2)
By CY Jones
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
I never thought I'd be that girl.The one that would sacrifice myself, but I did.For him, for love.Now I'm in Hell, and O'Donnell is King of this Underworld.Revenge was my mission, now Vengeance is my goal.Warning: 18+ This is a Dark RH, and contains strong language and certain triggers
I’d go with 3.5 stars on this one as it just lacked that bit of action I was expecting when rescuing Shadow! I expected it to just have more oomph! But overall I did enjoy the book!

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Take Your Breath Away in Books
Feb 6, 2022
This is a quick and enjoyable read and one that didn't disappoint.
Brie disappeared off the face of the earth 6 years ago and whilst the husband, Andy, was prime suspect, no evidence could be found against him. Now, a woman who appears to be Brie reappears and this sets off a chain reaction that has devastating results.
Written at a fast pace, with many twists and turns, this is a book with an intriguing plot that had me guessing most of the way through and although I did figure it out before the big reveal, it didn't spoil my enjoyment.
Thank you to HQ and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
This sequel to the 1984 movie that was based on Stephen King’s short story follows on from the first film as the bodies of the adults are discovered in a cellar, which grabs the attention of the authorities and the media.
Now if you have read my review of the first film the other day you will have seen how much I still enjoyed the film that starred Linda Hamilton, Peter Horton and John Franklin, but when it came to Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice which came along in 1992 (8 years after the first film), it becomes a bit more tongue in cheek over the original film.

Chill Factor ( Weather wardens 3)
By Rachel Caine
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin has protected the human race from monster storms, been killed, reborn as a Djinn, and then restored to her original form. Now she's throwing the dice to stop an infinitely powerful, deeply disturbed kid-who is holed up in a Vegas hotel-from bringing on a new ice age.
There were a few shockers in the last half of the book and I enjoyed it much more than the first half. I struggled at first and found some of it a little annoying. But overall a good read and a must for important information in the series.
