A Turkish superhero story
The story of the protector is one that we are familiar with: unlikely orphaned hero suddenly finds out that he was destined to defeat a big evil villain. A story, that over the years we have seen many times in many different ways. Somehow however, this did not bore me as much as it should. The backdrop of Istanbul made the plot line much more interesting to me (having no Turkish background and little knowledge of the country).

The characters were intriguing and I did genuinely care for them, as well as being interested in the love triangle that emerged between Hakan, Leyla and Zeynep. The female characters in the series were portrayed as strong women, which I particularly enjoyed. Hakan was goofy at times, but a likeable character overall. The immortal villain in the series could have been a bit more sinister, but this is just nitpicking.

Overall, I found the show really enjoyable, and hope that Netflix find the opportunity to make a sequel.

Great romance book (0 more)
Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie's life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle--from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she's trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.

Then, just as she's finding her feet--not to mention a possible new romance--the worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family's farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away--until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie's future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life.

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

I'm on my 4th reread and I've possibly reviewed this book before. This is my favourite of the of the the first 3 books. Apart from Bella still drives me crazy she is so pathetic sometimes! But yes I still like the books! This is seeing an end to all her relationships before they change in my opinion. My heart breaks for Jacob in this book he definitely gets the elbow and strictly friendzoned before the book ends!
Victoria is finally dead and the voltorie is all that's left to worry about.
