Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Fracture in Books
Jan 6, 2021
4.5 stars.
ARGH!!! What is it with authors lately and cliff-hanger endings?!?! First the Gypsy Brothers series and now this one.
BUT I love Zeth. He's not your typical bad guy; he is the baddest bad guy who's sexy as hell and into some rather kinky stuff.
Yeah, erotica is not my favourite genre ever but sometimes...well I find the perfect blend of erotica and budding romance and that is this series. You can just tell that something amazing is going to happen between Sloane and Zeth.
Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Magnum P. I. - Season 3 in TV
Jul 10, 2021
Amazing location (3 more)
Great action
Cast chemistry
Ferrari
Another entertaining series
This is great easy viewing, plenty of action, cool Hawaii locations and good cast chemistry. Always plenty of action whether it's car chases in the Ferrari, shootouts, fights. All set against a beautiful Hawaii backdrop. The writing is good and there is a good sense of cast chemistry.
This series is a little shorter at 16 episodes and maybe less dramatic story wise running through the series but still very enjoyable.
If you need to fill a void left by @Hawaii Five-0 this is perfect.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Bulletproof - Season 3 in TV
Jul 23, 2021
Only 3 episodes (1 more)
Very few of the main cast
Just OK
Well this 3rd series is advertised as more of a special. Only 3 episodes set in South Africa as the boys look to take a break. Although trouble is never far away as they get mixed up in a kidnapping case.
If you like the series you should enjoy this as it's mainly more of the same formula. At only 3 episodes it is short and most of the cast don't really feature much. Seems unlikely there will be a 4th series though.

Kristina (502 KP) rated Betrayal (Infidelity, #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
I read Aleatha's Consequences series last year. I waited a whole year after reading Consequences to be able to purchase the rest. Despite how it started, I found myself really enjoying the series and experiencing the ups and downs. I was hesitant to read Infidelity, because I didn't know if it could live up, but I truly believe it has surpassed Aleatha's other series. Betrayal was a whirlwind of secrets, surprises, and wit. It was also downright sexy. I read the free e-book in a matter of hours and was left wanting more. I look forward to reading the next installment!

Dean (6927 KP) rated Slasher - Season 3 in TV
Dec 11, 2020
Feels low budget (2 more)
Poor acting
Predictable
Disappointing
I waited a long time to see this, as it only recently became available on UK Netflix. The first 2 series were great and felt like very good Slasher films and were done well as a series.
This is no where near as good though sadly. Low budget, mainly filmed in a small apartment block. The story isn't as good and becomes fairly predictable by about the 5 episode. It felt like a bit of a slog to finish even at 8 episodes. Stick to the first 2 series.

Calling all passengers for flight 828
A decent follow up series carrying on from the cliffhanger ending of the first. It's all very much the same as the first but with a new threat and more info revealed about flight 828. Though one major plot line also goes missing for about 5 episodes which was odd. Sadly it does start to drag a bit near the middle episodes before a stronger finish to the series. There will be a 3rd series but I'm not sure I'm going to check it out.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated In Daylight and Darkness (Worldwalkers #1) in Books
Oct 6, 2021
An interesting start to the Worldwalkers series.
Years of medication and therapy to get over an imaginary friend and world go out the window when Coran returns.
Coran, the "imaginary" friend wants to protect Kate, which is so sweet considering the years Kate has denied his existance.
It adds more depth to the story and keeps you thinking throughout. And I really feel for kate and Coran, both on opposite sides, so to speak.
A massive plus side for me is that this is the start of a series and I do love a good series!

Marvel's latest made-for-tv, and (apparently) the first in their 'Spotlight' series of more adult-orientated affairs (think Netflix's Daredevil, The Punisher, etc), following the character Echo first introduced in Hawkeye; the niece of the Kingpin.
Yes, the same Kingpin (and actor) as in the superb Netflix Daredevil series.
Charlie Cox Daredevil also has what amounts to an extended cameo in the latter half of the first episode, the first half of which is pretty much a recap of previous series!
Only 5 episodes long; starts strong but seems to run out of steam a bit.

Sam (74 KP) rated The Reptile Room (A Series of Unfortunate Events #2) in Books
Mar 27, 2019
A Series of Unfortunate Events is my favourite series on Netflix, so a few months ago I decided I was finally going to buy the books and read the whole series, and I don’t regret that decision.
The Reptile Room is the second book in the series and is much better than the Netflix series.
The book opens with Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire on their way to live with their uncle, Dr Montgomery Montgomery, a semi-successful herpetologist with a large collection of reptiles.
Dr Montgomery’s assistant, Gustav, left him without any notice just before the Baudelaire orphans arrive, and his replacement, Stephano is strangely like Count Olaf.
The thing I love about The Reptile Room is the dark humour running throughout it. There are constant jokes that are definitely not aimed towards children which make it such a fun book to read.
It’s funny, sad and entertaining all at the same time and I really do wish I’d have read it when I was younger because it’s just the ideal book for me.
