The movie itself was original and good. It kind of got boring becuase it was too long. The acting is fine and some of the action sequences were good but it was the CGI work that gave this movie its saving grace in my oppion.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2603 KP) rated To Brie or Not To Brie (A Cheese Shop Mystery, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Two strangers are lurking around town, and no one can quite figure out who they are or what they want. Then one of them is killed in the local ice cream shop. As his identity comes out, Charlotte has to find the killer before the case reveals secrets that will impact her future.
I have truly come to love these characters this year, as evidenced by how anxious I was to visit them again in this book. However, I did find the mystery a little slow as the book got sidetracked by several sub-plots.

Binary is cool!
This is the sequel to Bluescreen and it definitely adresses some of my qualms with the first. There is a lot more action in the game in this sequel, the Cherry Dogs get into a tourny and it is the main focus of the novel. I love the group effort that present throughout this book, unlike many dystopian society novels where the main character can barely trust anyone and they feel like they have to save the world all by themselves and keep secrets and feel personally responsible for every death their stupid plan caused, this is a breath of fresh air. Everyone plays a part and Marisa definitely couldn’t have done it alone.

As the story continues you will get drawn deeper in the lives, lies and secrets.
This book contains quite a few flashbacks to Huntley’s childhood, particularly with her mother. It’s very nice to get to see these moments and they progress the story well. However as is the theme with a mystery they do manage to raise more questions than they answer.
I was not prepared for the ending and am still upset months later, still eagerly awaiting the release of The Dauntless in October.
Despite this I would still 100% recommend the book, however if you’ve got this far you are probably hooked like I am and don’t need a recommendation.

This book is a good lighthearted read. It is a complete story, however it is the first in quite a long series so there are still quite a few unanswered storylines at the end of the book.
The character development is slow, and some characters we don’t see enough of. I got the first 3 books as a bundle, so I think that is part of why I read this series as I’m not sure just one book would have got me hooked.
I did enjoy this book and getting to know Lucy and uncover the secrets as Amaris. I recommend this book if you are looking for an easy fun read.

This book grabbed my attention from the beginning and held it. The things that brought the rating down for me were the transitions between years toward the end of the book. It wasn't until you were a few pages into the chapter that you knew it was 5 or 10 years later.
Knot is the kind of woman who does what she wants no matter what other people think about it. This story takes us from 1942 all the way through 1987. Telling the story and secrets of West Mills. Each character has a different story that all melds together in one incredible telling. I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to other books by this author.
