Sam (228 KP) rated The Haunting of Hill House- Season 1 in TV
Mar 2, 2019
Complete Plotline (2 more)
Surprising Twists throughout series
Captivating
Hauntingly Beautiful
This hauntingly captivating series has truly mastered the challenge of taking a horror plotline and making it into a TV series. Along with creating a gorgeous picture that keeps the audience focused on the screen they've taken what was originally a book, then adapted into multiple movies, and created something completely new off of it. My only complaint is that it ended too soon as it took me only two days to watch the whole series, unable to look away. The hauntingly beautiful scenes will stay in your mind while the twists throughout the story will leave you amazed. Although it is a little co fusing and hard to follow through the first episode the imagery alone will bring you through as this original plotline wraps around and ties everything together in the most shocking twist as you near the end. Highly reccomended for those who enjoy psychological thrillers, suspenseful horrors, and hauntingly twisted tales.

Fate Reborn is an okay book. Though the story is was good. Though lines were broken up and need to be fixed. The words were mixed up and had hard time reading the story. Ashat and his family were killed by an evil werewolf. He and a few other werewolf go on an mission to get this evil werewolf.
Ashat and Billy and Joe, have tried to help a family out by protecting them. They wanted them to leave and stay away. Though the family comes back and the father see what they are and seen this family die. Marlee is told to run. Things starts to make sense one you start reading about main story. Throughout the book you get mixed up words in with each page. That need to be updated.
Other then that the story is good. I enjoyed it. There are twist and turns. The some things going on with all three werewolf's. What will happen with Ashat and Marlee? What will happen to Dave? There are still lots questions to answer.

A highly entertaining, twist filled read
When I first started this book i was a little concerned. The plot about 8 hijacked driverless cars seemed a little thin to be able to stretch over such a long 400+ page book, hug as soon as I started reading it had me hooked.
The 400+ pages flew past in record speed, I just couldn't put this book down. What seemed a fairly similar plot was filled with intriguing and well developed character, as well as some fantastic twists and reveals that I never saw coming. It also features quite a serious commentary on social media and bias and even racism, and despite being set in a society slightly more technologically advanced than our own, you can see the truth in the issues highlighted here. You can also imagine our societies becoming similar to this one in the very near future, which is a very sobering thought. This really is a highly entertaining read, and it's not often I get so enthralled in a story to not see the twists coming!

UnKamen Soul (7 KP) rated Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection (2019) in Movies
May 14, 2019 (Updated May 16, 2019)
Continuation of the anime series (3 more)
Plot worthy of running time
Majority, if not all, of the series' voice actors return
Twists and mind games as strong as the series
Even explained, Lelouch's existence may not make sense (1 more)
No sense in watching without knowing series/film recap series
The true Zero returns.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection is effectively a continuation of the plot-twist-filled anime series in the ways it matters. The major characters who were alive at series' end are still the major players, the politics and mind games are still as intense as the mech battles if not moreso, many, if not all, of the series' voice actors have gracefully returned to their roles, and the length fits the scope of the plot. Series protagonist Lelouch's return given his death can remain an enigma to some fans, even if they try to explain it, but it was also a shock to appreciate in that same vein. One question that remains is this: after this, where will its 10 year plan go from here?
Billie Wichkan (118 KP) rated Sleep in Books
May 22, 2019
Anna suffers from crushing insomnia following an accident that she feels responsible for. Unable to forgive herself she moves to Rum to try and escape.
At first it would appear that the location and the job are just what the Dr ordered until the new intake of guests arrive and with them more disaster for Anna. The story is made even more interesting with what is going on at home. At first you cannot see any link, but as the story builds to its thrilling climax you realize the connection and there is even an unexpected twist at the end.
Once again C.L. Taylor has delivered a perfect thriller. I raced through this book as once I started I just couldn't stop. I kept thinking I had it all figured out.... BIG MISTAKE!!!! The ending is just WOW!
The setting is just wonderful for this story and just takes it to that next level.
Creepy, chilling, exciting and intriguing. A true reminder to never take things on face value!
Many thanks to Net Galley and Avon Books for the chance to read, review!

Lenard (726 KP) rated Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) in Movies
Jun 2, 2019
Oh no there goes Boston?
Four years ago, Godzilla awoke and destroyed San Francisco. A small boy was trampled. While the mother worked on a way to communicate with monsters, the father ran away and went into wildlife photography. Now, working for Monarch, the monster hunting secret organization, mom is captured and her Orca device is being used to wake up all the monsters (I refuse to call them Titans). Plot twist: mom wants the monsters to destroy everything so the Earth can rebuild itself. Yes, another ecoterrorist plot. There is also some lesson about symbiosis and invasive species but that is for ecology class. Anyway, a few times, Godzilla shows up just in time to save the puny humans who have tried for 65 years to kill him. Why are all these doctors and professors so dumb in these Godzilla movies? Everything they do leads to another problem like they never consider the consequences of their action if it alleviates the present predicament.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2340 KP) rated First Degree Mudder (Pacific Northwest Mystery #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meg’s latest assignment for Northwest Extreme magazine finds her signing up for a mud run and a training course. Billy, the drill instructor in charge of the training course, is harsh – possibly two harsh. After two weeks, Meg is wondering why she signed up. However, one morning she sneaks out early only to discover Billy’s body. Was someone fed up with his training techniques?
Those coming to the series now might be disappointed. While there are some twists to the murder, it is overshadowed by everything else going on in Meg’s life, including a very intriguing twist in the story of her father’s murder. Fans who already know and love Meg will be intrigued by what happens here and anxiously awaiting the next book. (Cliffhangers, anyone?) The new characters are a bit thin as a result, but Meg and the other regulars more than make up for that as well.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2340 KP) rated The Haunted Lighthouse (The Code Busters Club, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cody and the rest of the Code Busters are excited for the next school day because their classes are going on a combined field trip to Alcatraz. The night before they leave, Cody gets a strange e-mail message. Then the four friends get part of a note on their front door step in the morning. It seems to imply that there might be a treasure on the island. Can they figure out what is going on while on the field trip?
While the title of the book is a little misleading (we discuss some haunted places but never see any), this is a fun book for kids of all ages. The plot moves along quickly, and it included a great twist. The characters are on the thin side, but I’m sure kids won’t notice that. And there is enough information on codes for kids to have lots of fun with them long after they’ve finished reading the book.
