Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I'll begin by saying the cover is fantastic; I couldn't stop looking at it! That being said, it's that feeling, the one that every picture has a story to tell, that is the inspiration behind the stories in this anthology. They go from "drabbles" of 100 words to short stories and novellas, and each is as unique as the author who wrote it. It's amazing how so many people can look at the same picture and yet draw a completely different tale from it, all the while bringing those thoughts and images into reality for the reader. I hope this idea will be continued into another book (or several!), using different pictures, or perhaps with each author being given an opening line and having to write a story from that. Loved it!! =)

Insanely good!

Words cannot describe how much I love this fantasy series by Anne Bishop, but I'm gonna try anyway. First, the characters are fully formed. From the cover one would think that Jaenelle is the main character, and in a way that is true, but in reality each of the players are equally important with rich backstories and thus become real people to the reader.
The world Bishop created in this series is intricate, deadly, wonderful, and beautiful. The books handle some pretty intense subjects, like child abuse, rape, and prostitution, which sounds bad as I write this, but Bishop handles it beautifully. They aren't extra things thrown into the story for attention--each horror is a catalyst for the characters to grow into their destinies. If you read these books, you will love them forever, I promise. These have a special place on the shelf.

Pretty good

I've been waiting forever to watch this film, but it's not as I expected, so many people die so quick and there was alot of humour in throughout too.

Standard film a bunch of rich folk hunting down your average everyday person, but each person has badmouthed the rich and so they make what's being said about them a reality, fair is fair. The film concentrates and is mainly about one person, Betty Gilpin. She gives most the humour I found her character hilarious there was just no facial expression no matter the situation she was just badass 😎. The film is definitely worth the watch but as per usual like most films the ending annoyed me the film was good the final scene was good but I am one of the people I want to see what happened next but that's never the way.
