A mix of humour
Sharp, witty and thrilling
I'm a little late at getting round to watching this, having heard very good reviews about it. It's a great premise a serial killer working in the Miami police dept who targets other killers. It's very witty as well and largely has a darkly comic side to it. The story running through the series though plays out like a top selling thriller novel. It's a great mix that works very well. If you missed it check it out.

wow, what fantastic characters this story has. The story line was thrilling, full of suspense with lots of added romance. I just couldn't put it down till id finished the last page and then I was left wanting more and more. This is a fast paced story which will keep you reading long into the night. I just love this author and cant wait to read more from them in the future

Highly recommended

The Wolverine (2013)
The Wolverine (2013)
2013 | Action
Darren Aronofsky was originally chosen to direct this second Wolverine solo outing but had to drop out due to travel restraints. Instead, James Mangold was brought in to helm this thrilling adventure as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was the fish-out-of-water that the series needed. Set for the majority of the runtime in Japan, and with an exciting action sequence set atop a bullet train, The Wolverine was a reasonable return to form for the X-Men solo movies.

Mitchell never fails to amaze me. Slade House is gripping! I read this within 2 hours, not even putting the book down for dinner.

Combining several separate short stories to create one entirely tantalizing plot, Mitchell doesn't leave readers unsatisfied. As the book goes on we find out more about the two mysterious beings creating lifelong destruction in the equally mysterious Slade House and as we find out more, we wish we hadn't.

Creepy, thrilling and beautiful, this book is an excellent read for any horror genre lovers!

No Fatal Attraction
This film is so obviously trying to be Fatal Attraction for the Tinder generation, it's just a shame it fails miserably.

The film starts off very slowly, and then suddenly rushes through everything else at a ridiculously quick pace. Neither of the lead characters are particularly likeable so you don't really care anything for them and I don't think any of the storyline stands out as being particularly interesting or thrilling. The only good bit was the slightly unpredictable ending.

It's watchable, but not one to expect much from.

Didn’t live up to its promise
I really wanted to like this movie. I wanted it to be awesome, to make me shiver and look over my own shoulder. But despite three thrilling trailers, I found the back and forth style of narrative to be distracting from the story. I’d have preferred just straight narrative, beginning to end.

Other than that, it was cool that everyone sees something different, but not knowing what they are seeing made the horror less for me. Good try, but it just didn’t quite make it in my book.

From a young age I was more into action adventures than anything, I remember great memories of NFSU2 also many arguments haha, taking in all comers and rarely losing (big head 😁) there was nothing like the feeling that ran through me during the opening, that is until the the game started, stunning graphics, an epic playlist, thrilling race's and a really enjoyable story thrown in.

NFSU2 is without a shadow of a doubt one of my all time favourite games.

This novel was thrilling and enthralling! I could not put it down. The characters are believable and relatable. The minutia of small town law enforcement is enhanced by the enormity of the crimes being committed, more so because no one is convinced they are really occurring. I like the way the author portrays a victim and the aftermath of the horror she survived in its banality since it is probably as real as it would get. I enjoyed the different characters and the plot was interesting and well developed. The twist ending was excellent!
