I'm sure it's sacrilege saying so, but I got absolutely nothing out of this - in fact I'm deathly sure I hated it. Not because it was exactly awful, per se - moreso because it was just so exhaustively timid, top to bottom. Seldom has a sex comedy ever been more self-conscious of itself, I sat in almost pure impatient silence the entire time waiting for it to end. I mean is it not enough that we rarely ever get to see these tiresome (less than) one note characters actually ever interact as a group? Or that even the overly-familiar sorta-half-jokes have to fizzle out before they're even delivered? And while we're at it, why is the direction so violently bland? And why is the film so indifferent about its own story while also trying to bolster it up as the main selling point? I mean there's hardly any stakes let alone momentum, nor even light fun because everyone just sort of "Yeah sure, whatever"s to everything that happens which is allegedly of consequence. Are we supposed to care? Basically the bone marrow of every sex comedy ever made, stripped down of all the meat and other fixings that made them funny/interesting/charming/memorable. Zero personality, and deliberately stops itself from having any anytime it threatens to use some. At best only mildly amusing, whatever made this entirely pedestrian British 'comedy' get shot up to Best Picture status over something like the mega superior ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ, ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜›๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ ๐˜š๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜‰๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ด I will never grasp. The whole time I just wanted to see the "Always Sunny" gang or even the Broken Lizard troupe take a stab at this premise and give it the non-passive justice it deserves.

Resilience ( The Demon and Shadows Duology book1)
ARC copy
By Kandi Vale

Ok folks strap in itโ€™s a bit of a long one!!

*** The books do include scenes of BDSM and scenes of a sexual nature. Adults only ***

I was extremely lucky and privileged to be given the chance to read the ARC of Kandi vales new book Resilience which is the first book in a Duologly featuring Joro and Mattheus from the slivered souls trilogy. I was first introduced to this author in February 2019 and I absolutely fell in love with the world she has created. This new book tells the story of Joro and Mattheus, we get to see how Joro came to be the person she is now. It is full of action and some of the hottest sex scenes Iโ€™ve read, now donโ€™t let me mislead you with the sex scenes they are also some of the best Iโ€™ve seen written. If BDSM is not to your taste Iโ€™d still recommend reading this book as they are done so well in my opinion (and I can only write from my opinion so donโ€™t shoot me). This book had me hooked from the prologue and it was one of those books that kept you hooked! It answered so many questions and brought every emotion you can think of.
I can not wait for book 2 to see how this ends! Iโ€™m a huge fan of supporting authors like Kandi these writers put their heart and soul into the worlds they build and you can definitely see it in her work!

So I highly recommend you check this book out when it officially releases Tuesday 28th July!!

In the meantime go find slivered book 1 of the slivered souls trilogy
