In the 9th installment of the Stepahnie Plum series Stephanie finds herself as the "prize" in a real-life game of murder. The players in this game are set up to hunt each other down by being given email clues from the Web Master an unknown person who directs the game & controls those who play it. Stephanie unknowingly thrusts herself into the game when she goes out to hunt down a guy who has bailed on his visa bond.
This book was much more suspensful than the last few in the series. There's lots of tasering, shooting, kidnapping, & bodyguarding. I figured out who the Web Master was with about 100 pages left to go...though I had my suspcisions earlier on. That didn't take away from the plot though.

I recently watched the first Bad Lieutenant film, not sure if this is a sequel of sorts or not? It is no where near as dramatic as the first, but I actually prefer this version as it has a bit more structure to it and less random. Cage plays a cop who may do bad things but often it is a means to an end. He has a drug problem, gambling and is walking a fine line on being the wrong side of the law. Can he redeem himself when a family of 5 is killed in a drug shooting. This is an enjoyable film, Cage's performance does get a bit trippy at times. Overall it's a entertaining film with a good story if not anything ground breaking.

Animated films, I feel, do snow a lot better than the majority of live-action movies. Why? Well it’s much easier to render snow when you’re creating a film that is solely CGI, you don’t need to worry too much about realism or shooting on location.

Ice Age remains one of the all-time greats of the genre, and in my opinion, it’s a little underrated. It’s spawned numerous decent quality sequels and has a cracking cast and a light, witty script that’s perfect for adults and children alike to enjoy. The snow is part and parcel of the movie, so that’s why it avalanches its way to number four in this list. Get it, avalanches? I’m on a roll.

This book was recommended to me by my barista and I'm so glad that read it. It was truly hilarious! I couldn't help but laugh when reading/listening to it.

First off, I normally don't truly laugh when reading a book but I found myself laughing (really laughing) throughout this book. This book was disgusting, horrifying, hilarious, and I would recommend it to anyone that likes something unique, and crass.

The characters are definitely interesting and I kept wondering what else could happen. The twists and turns were exhilarating and I felt like I was on a roller coaster that wanted to not only make you say "What the F***" but laugh while you were shooting down to your inevitable doom.

If you want something fun, unique, and a little taboo definitely read this!
  
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood VR
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood VR
Simulation
Take a ride on this VR horror rollercoaster through madness
Rush of Blood is a spin off of the original Until Dawn. It dives into the psyche of one of the characters and revisits several locations as well as taking you to new ones via a roller coaster. There is a very creepy atmosphere as well as really good jump scares. Your mind warps your environment between the asylum from the other 2 games and an insane carnival ride. Gameplay is basic but incredibly fun, you ride the roller coaster, shooting your enemies as well as collectibles. It's not overly long or difficult but has great replayability trying to get collectibles, trying alternate paths, beating old scores, or just enjoying it. It uses the DS4 or Move Controllers.
