A little OTT
So today was my first trip back to the cinema since COVID kicked off, and Unhinged was my film of choice (figured it’d be fairly quiet during the day - I was right). I had seen nothing about this film other than reviews on here and overall it didn’t make for a bad return to the cinema.

Let’s start with the major negative and positive, this film is ridiculously over the top. From the hammy overacting from Russell Crowe (who must have had a hoot filming this) to the excessive number of unnecessary deaths, this doesn’t hold back. There’s a good amount of gore and the car chase scenes are quite tense and exciting. My biggest problem is that the major of the main character’s actions don’t make sense and just become irritating when she does things that seem ridiculously stupid. Some things were that unbelievable that I was almost screaming at the screen in frustration (and only just restrained myself when I remembered I was actually in a public place and no longer in my home cinema 😐 ). However there were at least a few incidents that made me laugh too.

Overall this isn’t a bad film and was vaguely entertaining. If they had toned back the ridiculous aspects and made it more tense and believable, it would’ve been a much better film as road rage is a major problem for some people. Sadly I probably enjoyed and got far more excited over the Tenet and The King’s Man trailers beforehand than during this entire film, but it was still fairly enjoyable for my first foray back to the cinema.

Strays is the first book in the Werewolf Academy series and is a spin-off from the Silver series. As you may know if you follow my reviews, that last book about killed me and was the very thing that set me onto this series. This one focuses on Alex and Cassie, Jet's younger twin siblings.

In the Academy, you are not split into years. You are split into Packs but for one year only. Alex and Cassie are usually one of the last to be picked so it comes as a huge surprise when one of the newcomers picks Alex to be his Second. Usually the Packs stay divided between Lifers and Termers but Alex shakes things up by giving Jericho names of both, in the hope of making a strong, all-rounded Pack.

I love Cheree Alsop's worlds. I really do! This one drew me in just as much as Silver did. It was great to see Jaze and the others that bit older. I'm still not keen on Chet but he does provide a great counter-balance to Dray. With excitements, hormones, hunts, training, this is a fast-paced book that still managed to have me in tears!

Seriously, this is an amazing start to the series with a new cast of brilliant characters, supported by old characters that I adore. I can't wait to continue and have no hesitation in recommending this book.
