graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Sex and the Single Vampire (Dark Ones #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I enjoyed <i>Sex and the Single Vampire</i> much more than <i>A Girl's Guide to Vampires</i>. Allie was a refreshing change from Katie MacAlister's usual heroines - she was smart, not hyperactive, and an interesting person. And of course Christian was just as intriguing as he was in the previous book of the series; he made the perfect hero ('nuff said). The plot was very well-done, as was the pace. Unfortunately, Roxy was still an annoying, hyperactive puppy, but at least she wasn't in this book as much. The only reason I'm not giving this a five, is that I'm not quite sure if it's a keeper or not. Still, I think I'll hold on to it for a little longer.

Daisy Jones and The Six has it all love, Lust, heartbreak, rock n roll, sex, drugs, addiction to it all. The interview style which it is written in with so many points of view was easy to follow. It reads like a behind the music show with a little of where are they now thrown in. I can't say enough amazing things about this book. I was laughing and then crying following the story of the band and how they became Daisy Jones and The Six. A story so layered with emotion it speaks volumes in more than just the words. Including the lyrics of the songs along with this book makes it truly unique.

Representation goes higher, further, faster!

Captain Marvel wasn't the best Marvel movie to date, but was one of the better ones. Brie Larson was fantastic as Carol Danvers. She very well portrayed a woman who was told to suppress her emotions her entire life to fit within a patriarchal society. The big twist being that she didn't have to prove anything to the men in her life to be the strong powerful woman that she is. Probably does more for representation of women than WonderWoman. The Skrull also teach us that we cannot demonize sentients before understanding them. Excelltent! 9/10

Hmmm... How many times can a book say the C word... I am not a prude but using the C word over 10 times in a chapter is just...different.
I thought that the basic consept of this novel was interesting. This was a quick read. The characters were interesting yet unrealistic. The main girl character made me want to scream half the time. The sex was a little too much, most of the time I had to just turn my brain off and try not to think that it was sexually assault. I understand that at the moments of passion the brain turns off and they are animalistic but seriously, it read like a woman's wet dream and not like a thought out novel.

A good action adult film
Polar
This is definitely not for the faint of heart. This is a brutal but fantastic film. You just can’t turn away.
If you're not a fan of gratuitous, over-the-top violence, lengthy sex scenes, and gory detail, stay away from this movie.
If such things don't bother you, or you see such things as essential in a good action movie, Polar is the film for you! Evocative of Tarantino, Charlie's Angel's, and any number of violent, Hitman-style films, Polar earns its place among the classics, with gusto.
An aging hitman on the verge of retirement, our protagonist finds himself hunted by his former employers, they get more than they bargain for.

A master storyteller
Janice Galloway knows how to tell a story and this one (memoir) delivers like a skelp on the heid when you wurnie expectin it. A follow up to This is Not About Me,' (which I loved) , this book didn't disappoint. From starting high school to discovering a love for music and Latin, all while avoiding her rocket of a sister, Janice Galloway doesn't skip a beat. From boys, love, friendship, sex and learning how to live in this world, you'll find it all. Honest, cringeworthy, sad and funny and all written ever so poetically, All Made Up delivers.
