Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Tears of Tess (Monsters in the Dark, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
I dunno with this one. I'm hit and miss with D/s books. Sometimes I like them sometimes I don't. This one, that side of the story, I'm not that big a fan of. I don't always understand it, and I think that was definitely the case with this one.
I loved the storyline and everything--minus the above mentioned thing, anyway--the kidnapping and the owner who isn't all bad. The romance between them. I think it was the sex side of things, I skipped through the first one (at least I think it was the first one? About half way through?) and skimmed the rest, looking for the more romantic take on it all.
Hmm. I'm not sure if I'm intrigued enough to continue the series. I'll think about in my sleep and see how I feel in the morning.
Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Red Sparrow (2018) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
It surprises me a little bit that this film is only rated 15. There's violence, sex, torture, nudity... so many things that make this one classic fodder for an 18 rating.
Red Sparrow was a good spy flick, gripping throughout but a little bit predictable at times. The more I think about this one the more I'm tempted to give it only two stars. While I found the story line interesting, there isn't much that made me enthusiastic.
People ask me what I've seen recently and this is the only one I can never remember. I don't think it's going to be one of this year's must see movies.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Breathless (Jesse, #1) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
Hmm...I struggled with this book. It isn't anything like the other New Adult book I've read and I just couldn't get into it.
It might have had something to do with the two main characters not meeting until about 35% into the book and I'm not sure how I felt about the dual POV. I normally read one, generally the female perspective.
I can't say I really felt anything towards the characters either, they both wound me up a bit: Jesse, with his having sex with anything female until he met Niki and Niki throwing a fit when Jesse got into the fight protecting his friend and when he defended her honour.
Not for me, really, but I also have the second book, Fearless, to read too.
