Always remember to pack a Virgin and a Rosary.

Awful things happen against beautiful backdrops and this is no different.
    I really like Emory, the horror film buff. He has a close, cheeky relationship with his twin sister, but for all the cheek he'd do anything for her. I enjoyed watching his character develop, his confidence grow and slowly realise how others see him.
    The relationship/dynamics between Emory and Conner are interesting.....friends/holiday neighbours.....Emory's secret crush...

This isn't for the faint-hearted, there is blood and danger and it's put me off abandoned buildings again! It's creepy and has a darkness throughout, I love it.

Good production
The game is afoot
A decent fun adventure as the younger sister of the famous detective goes in search of their Mother. This obviously has quite a big budget and features a talented cast. Millie Bobby Brown, of @Stranger Things is fun to watch in this. Quite lighthearted and only a 12 rating suggests the target audience is young adults. This isn't taxing on the old grey cells and doesn't have a great deal of mystery to it. However it held my interest. If you enjoy the Sherlock character then you should find this an enjoyable watch.

Who Are You
The Uninvited- is a erry movie meaning its scary, terrorfying, chilling and spooky.

The Plot: After spending time in a psychiatric facility, young Anna (Emily Browning) finds significant changes in store at home. Her widowed father (David Strathairn) is now engaged to her mother's former nurse, Rachel (Elizabeth Banks). One night, the ghost of Anna's mother appears, screaming for revenge and accusing Rachel of murder. Anna and her sister, Alex (Arielle Kebbel), start to investigate, but they may be unprepared for the lethal battle of wills that ensues.

Both Emily Browning and Elizabeth Banks are excellent in this film.

A good horror film.

This is my first young adult dragon shifter book. I've read the first in an adult series but I didn't reckon much to it but this, this was right up my street.

I liked almost everything about it; the description of being a dragon, the characters--though I thought it was a little selfish of her mum and sister to want to do what they were doing to Jacinda, the romance and connection between Jacinda and Will...

That ending has definitely got me wanting to find out what happens next and considering the books are only 99p each currently I think I'm going to go buy them all!

Truly Worth Reading
Though not a typical read for me, I am grateful that the publisher sent me an advanced readers copy because it was such a beautiful story. This story is told from varying views and I found myself easily relating to the younger sister Millie in particular to her choice of a husband. Through the author's writing I, was able to experience the feelings that Ruth and Millie had in such a vivid way, that I often felt as I myself was a part of this well-written story.

This was truly well worth reading and I hope that others take a chance on this story.

What happened Stephen King?
Contains spoilers, click to show
When you think of Stephen King you think of Horror, Pennywise, Salems Lot, Creepshow etc etc.
Not when you watch this. The plot just seems so out of touch for Stephen King. Not his 'norm' at all. Maybe a good thing?

The plot? ODD.
At first I thought I was watching a young, pregnant couple. No, brother and sister. They seem too "involved" to be anything but romantic partners.
Then theres the strange, out of the blue characters (that do not blend in with the storyline), you meet along the way.
You will scream at the ending, all that for nothing.
