Brilliant trilogy
Contains spoilers, click to show
This book 3 on a trilogy.
This series was recommended to me by a friend as im doing an A to Z book challenge this year. The first book is called Z.
Quick run through.....
Z and her adoptive brother are on the run from the police wanted for murder, they are forced into the streets after their adoptive parents tragically die in a cat accident.
When cornered in a dark alley her brother is killed and she saved my a mysterious stranger claiming to be her real brother from another dimension. Oh and she's some long lost princess.
Over time she regains her memory and her family, all except dear old dad who happens to be called the dark king. While trying to find a rare ingredient for s potion to save her mother z or rather Nadya gets taken by her dad.
We pick up in book 3! Nadya had her memories manipulated by the general Allen who she thought was dead. When her friends come to save her she has different memories of them and tortures Her best friend for potion ingredients them send them all through a portal to earth. They find there way back in time to save her but lose a lot in the process!
I can honestly say I'm sad to see this end! I have enjoyed reading it and following Nadya and her friends. Victorias was so sad after all the plans she had made.
Loved seeing Nadya become the queen she was meant to be. I love Lizzy's contrast between our earth and theirs bringing some of a fairytale world into ours.
I'm looking forward to seeing what she does next!

From the makers of critically-acclaimed "Project Phoenix" comes a new, exciting creation....

The Last Classic Monster
Creature From The Black Lagoon- is the last monster of the classic universal monsters. And its sad. Its sad, to see the classic universal monster, last movie. This creature is scary, terrorfying and horrorfying.
The plot: Remnants of a mysterious animal have come to light in a remote jungle, and a group of scientists intends to determine if the find is an anomaly or evidence of an undiscovered beast. To accomplish their goal, the scientists (Antonio Moreno, Richard Carlson, Richard Denning, Whit Bissell) must brave the most perilous pieces of land South America has to offer. But the terrain is nothing compared to the danger posed by an otherworldly being that endangers their work and their lives.
Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed in 3D and originally projected by the polarized light method. The audience wore viewers with gray polarizing filters, similar to the viewers most commonly used today. Because the brief 1950s 3D film fad had peaked in mid-1953 and was fading fast in early 1954, many audiences actually saw the film "flat", in 2D. Typically, the film was shown in 3D in large downtown theaters and flat in smaller neighborhood theaters.
For marketing reasons, a comedic appearance with Abbott and Costello on an episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour aired prior to the film's release. The appearance is commonly known as Abbott and Costello Meet the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Ben Chapman reprised his role as the Gill-Man for the program.
The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:
2001: AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills – Nominated
2003: AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains:
Gill-man – Nominated Villain
Iike i said a classic universal monster.

What an sad but enlighting movie
One of Jim Carey's best films ever that isn't a comedy. This movie has look at life as if we could erase what we don't want to remember. However once we get a better view at what we want to lose sometimes we want it even more. This is what happens when the girl he is seeing wants all the memories of him and her erased and when he wants the same treatment so he can't feel the pain that's when he see things in a whole new light you may say and sees how much better his life is with her and wants to love her more and be with her. Carey rarely plays dark and emotional roles but, maybe he should have done this more because he hits it out of the park.

Very moving
I don’t know what I’d expected from this book, but I hadn’t anticipated liking it as much as I did. And I haven’t seen the film yet either.
This is a beautifully written tale of a kind of love story between a young teenager and his family’s summer house guest. The confusion, frustration and heartbreak of his first gay relationship really comes across throughout the entire novel, and you really feel for him. Elio is an endearing protagonist and I was really invested in the outcome although I feel like the ending and the summary of the 20 years following that summer were a little too short and very sad. I would’ve happily read on for longer for a slightly happier ending. But that said, it’s still a well written book and a very interesting plot.

this is the first book by this author that I've read and I couldn't wait to start it after reading the blurb. this is a beautifully written book, it has a feeling of sadness to it which makes the story very black and white in places. the story will have you on the edge from the start to the finish. the relationship between the two characters is fully explored within the book. this book is a fantastic read and I couldnt put it down till id finished it, the story really sucks you in and keeps a hold of you till the end, leaving you wanting more, I was definitely sad when it had finished, I really wanted it to carry on. I cant wait to read more from this author.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Heart of a Bad Boy (Destiny #3) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is the third book in the series and what a fantastic read. this author is becoming one of my favourites as the stories just keep getting better and better the more you read. these book can be read as stand alones or part of the series, id say read them all just because they are really good. this author has a fab way of writing that just sucks you in and keeps a hold of you till the last page. the author always writes such good epilogues, you can help but be sad when the books have finished. the characters are fantastic and very well written and the hot steamy scenes definitely set the pages alight. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

I received a e copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Can I just start by saying I absolutely loved this book one of my favourite reads in a while and reminds me of the books I avidly devoured when first dipping my toe into the romance genre.Duty is a lovely medieval read where we become attached to the to main characters from the start Brielle and Tomas , they were both such strong characters with amazing positive attributes, I loved travelling the journey of there love story and was sad to finish a thoroughly engaging tail that kept me captivated from start to finish.on a final note I absolutely hated the king he was vile and I felt like giving the little brat a kick up the derrière while reading.but even with that little gripe this is a fab read.

After watching the first Deadpool and laughing harder than I had in a long time at the movies, I couldn't think of any way that they could improve on the anti-hero's story with a sequel. I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline and new characters that were introduced along with the reappearance of beloved old faces. Deadpool's growth in this movie, while hilarious, was refreshing to see despite the sad undercutting of a death early on. Many times during the movie they introduce topics and people that at first has you confused and thinking that it was probably a terrible decision, quickly leads to you loving every second. Although I never thought that I would say it before watching this movie, in my opinion, this is one case where the sequel might be better than the original.

Escape Clause by Mary Billiter
Four Stars
This story was seriously funny and sad at the same time. You have Ollie's family betraying him and each other. Then there is the family businesses that are failing. I like Ollie he is very sweet and loyal. He is the type of guy you want around when you have pms. Kelsey was a strong person and I give her mad props for putting up with the mess her son's father put in her way. On top of her family not supporting her and believing her. Their relationship was quirky and fun. Ollie treated her son like he was his and you have to appreciate anyone who steps into a rule for a child. I enjoyed the story and how the author twisted the plot. The characters were relatable and well written.
