If you are new to the series, you really don’t want to start here. Yes, I said guide, but it comes with lots of spoilers for the first eight books in the series. Back up and start at the beginning; it’s worth it. This is more a love letter to fans. If you are a fan, you’ll definitely enjoy the information contained in this book. And the novella will leave you satisfied. It feels like a complete story and made me laugh and cry. Yes, there is another cliffhanger, so now begins the wait for book 9.

One good thing is that this film jumps right into the story. No preamble or hours of filler, it cuts right to it and gets down to the point, which explains the rather short and refreshing 90 minute run time. The plot idea itself is good, I just think some of the jump scares are predictable and that some of the characters actions are so stupid - not quite on the level of Scream's "running up the stairs when they should be going out the front door" but not far off. This relies in some parts on stereotypical horror movie tropes like obvious jump scares and poor character decisions, and it had so much potential that wasn't realised. But that said, the gore was wonderful and the ending was a refreshing change to the norm. And I loved the little cameo from Michael Rooker. My only question is, was this meant to be an evil rip-off of Superman? I'm assuming that was the point to make an evil version, but I'm just surprised they got away with it...

I was gripped to this book and really could not put this down. I had to see what happened next. Some of the things I guessed but this was at the end. I couldn't of guessed the twists through the beginning and middle part of the book.
The whole book went together so well. I was surprised at how many people had been killed by the 'killer'.
I felt so many different emotions when reading this book - shock, surprise, fearful, gripped.
My feelings towards some of the characters changed throughout the book which is usual in crime books.
I couldn't find fault with the story or writing on the book.
This isn't like any book I have read before which is always good.
The blurb was so short it gave nothing away but this matched the book 100%.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a crime book.

Bear-ever yours ( Polar heat book 1)
By Terry Bolryder
Leah Maitland isn't expecting much when she wins an unexpected, all-expenses paid trip to the Caribbean. Just some sunshine, fruity drinks, and maybe a break from her demanding job as an office manager to the worst boss ever. She definitely isn't expecting Sky Weston, a hot, athletic local dive instructor with surfer blond hair and Caribbean blue eyes who seems determined to rock her world.
Sky is tall, intensely handsome and a polar bear shifter whose family moved to warmer climates. From the moment he looks into Leah's sparkling brown eyes from across the room, he knows he wants the curvaceous beauty for his own.
But as things heat up in the Caribbean, danger is also close on their heels. And if Sky can't convince Leah to trust the passion igniting between them, he might just lose her to the evil bear that is willing to do anything to make her his.
Short but a very sweet story! A bit rushed in places but pretty much straight to the point! Starting to see a pattern with Terry Bolryder maybe they are becoming a bit too predictable!
