Amria ( cursed book 2)
By Meg Anne & Jessica Wayne

She loved him, and he was going to die.Skye Giovanni's visions have always felt like a curse, but never more so than now. Plagued with nightmares of a future she cannot escape, Skye must do the impossible: stop fate in its tracks.Detective Lucas MacConnell has never met a case he couldn't crack. But one night at an art gallery changed everything, throwing him headlong into the war path of an ancient Druid.Now they're hiding out in Scotland, hoping to stay out of sight long enough to find what they need to stop the Druid once and for all.Unfortunately their names are at the top of his kill list, and the only way to get off is to get him first.




Oh I loved this more than the first one. The foursome head to Scotland. Not as much action in this one but the story building was just so good! I had already worked out the revelations that they uncover but it was still really good reading them! The relationship building was also so well done and not in your face. Wonder where pope has taken Skye.

An aptly-timed anthology amid political turmoil
It's a wonderful array of female voices from all walks of life, my criticism comes in the form of possibly too many perspectives from Scotland and not many other places. There were a few too many arts focused viewpoints with third person interviews, a little amateurish editing, and the compilation of women could be more finessed.

That being said - I'm over the moon about intersectional feminism being discussed. A joy to read and a bit of a relief. It's no Vagina Monologues, but's still fairly decent.

Strange
A very strange and quirky film. It has some scenes filmed in Scotland high streets with the cameras hidden whilst the public walk past Scarlett Johansson, in a wig, unnoticed. Even featuring a couple of people in the film who were just volunteers really to take part.
The score is good and helps with the eerie feel. The main problem is that the film doesn't seem to know which direction to take. It does turn quite dark suddenly as well. More well known for other reasons.

Easy read (0 more)
Predictable storyline (0 more)
I read this book for a book club on good reads a couple months ago. I enjoyed it, even though it was fairly Predictable, and kind of repetitive. The main character was a little two dimensional. This book is set in Scotland, which I thought was cool. The descriptions the author gave were very well written.

If you're looking for an easy read to while away an evening, look no further. But if you like a little more intelligence and actions in your reading, you might want to keep looking.
