I loved this book! it wasnt what i expected when i chose it but i wasnt disappointed.
The story is loosely based around peter pan and the lost boys and wendy but with a modern twist and set in the real world.
"Neverland" becomes a facility where experiments are carried out on children with the goal being that the children will develope special powers.
The story is easy to read and follow, the characters are engaging and loveable and i throughly enhoyed it.

I absolutely loved this book. The whole parallel universe stuff really got me thinking. The science wasn’t too high brow and the concept was really easy to understand. This book is unique and I haven’t read another quite like it. It left me wanting to know what happened to all of the other Jason’s that were left in the other worlds. I genuinely couldn’t put this book down.

Enjoyable action flic
Dont get me wrong, not expecting it to win many awards and it was no where near as good as the first but....
It was fun to watch, nice little twist and it has a good cast to. Amara (spaeny) was by far the best one but we did enjoy counting how many times Scott was trying to copy his dad in the acting department. Overall, an enjoyable film.

I have an interest in the paranormal and people's supposed psychic abilities so I enjoyed this film. However it absolutely failed to reach its potential and the twist at the end which could have been mind-bending was rather a damp squib. On a side note, if the subject interests you, I once watched a Storyville documentary on Uri Geller where he was proven to be a fraud (not that that stalled his career at all) but that is definitely worth a watch!

As always Aleatha had me sucked in right from page one. I LOVED the start to Knox & Charli's story in Betrayal and Cunning was just one step further into their world. Crazy twists and hidden plots.. this book was a roller coaster of events. The fact that they have finally opened up to each other, admitted what they had was real and then... we're left with another huge twist!? OMG.. killing me!? LOVE this story and CAN NOT WAIT for the next installment!!

Unexpected
I am a wimp when it comes to scary programmes and films. So when my husband sat me down to watch this I was ready to poo myself after some things said on Facebook. I managed to watch all 10 episodes with only jumping once. I expected it to be far more scary. Instead I just felt said for the Craine family and a bit deflated by the end. However I did enjoy the storyline and the twist

Criminally Madcap
Two British teachers discuss true crimes and the insanity that surrounds them, with a twist of wry British humour, sarcastic barbs sharp enough to have sunk the Titanic, and a sprinkling of anecdotes that will leave you thinking that teachers must be some of the bravest people on Earth.
Not as slick as most of the American podcasts you will come across, but charming enough that you really don't mind.

This is the 2nd book in the Kyndred Series and one that I was looking forward to, as I liked Rowan from her appearance in Shadowlight.

Did it live up to expectations? Mostly, is the honest answer.

These books are paranormal with a twist, so everything that I enjoy. However, they can be so convoluted and confusing that it can detract from the story (for me).

More characters are introduced in this book so keep your head and remember who is who!

This novel is reminiscent of Gone Girl in its style and plot. The dual points of view with at least one, maybe two, unreliable narrators propulses the story making it a page turner. The twists are well executed and some of the characters are well fleshed out. However, there are many questions left unanswered, some loose ends that could have been tied up nicely and a few eye-rolling moments. All in all, an excellent psychological thriller with a twist.
