Cold Crypt Cellars ( Krystianna Aramis book 1)
By J R O’Bryant
⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶

Centuries old vampire Krystianna Aramis and her contingent of security and staff have come to the heart of the Midwest for a wine convention. Well, the convention and a bit of "Adult" fun. The entire supernatural world comes out to play for the convention including Krystianna's main competetion from across the big pond. When all hell breaks loose and it looks like the vampire council will have to intercede things get a bit crazy for Krystianna and her love life.

I wanted to go with a 3.5 on this. The characters are interesting and well thought out the world building is pretty good. The story is interesting too. For a first published book it’s a solid start I’m definitely intrigued as to where it will go in future books. There was a bit of spice but it felt a little muted and restrained not sure if that was on purpose, there were a few places it just felt a little flat for me. Overall it’s was a good book and I’m looking forward to reading more.

A simple if entertaining action film. A plot that has been done quite a few times now, this time based around a group of assassins taking over a small town every 7 years for a battle royale to find the last one standing. Tons of action in this, some good fights, chase scenes and stunts and quite a bit of blood. The standard of the cast including Ving Rhames, Ian Somerhalder of Vampire Diaries, and the pace of the film raise it above average. Very enjoyable eye fodder!

I like this book a lot, you don't see many lesbian-themed YA books out there. I'm 26 but I missed out on youth fiction geared toward me as a youth. I had vampire books, that's about it. :/ anyway, pros: it was well written, truthful, and heartfelt. Cons: I did not like the Main Character's Dialogue. She sounded very juvenile for her age and spoke in a way I'd never heard myself as a 17 year old (half) tortillera. All in all I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters and I liked the ending. :)

Why!?
You wait 21 years for a sequel to a cult classic and this is all we get? It's very poor saved at times only by Corey Feldman returning in his original role and not looking much older, maybe he is a vampire too? It's a bit like a not so good take on of Buffy, just with more gore and nudity, essential for straight to DVD horrors. Some parts were ok but the overall film just makes you think what a missed opportunity. Watch once if you are curious.

1987 | Comedy, Horror
Very very 80s vampire comedy-horror; one of those films which feels like a music video with the actual song edited out. Family relocates to sleepy coastal town, discovers that dark forces are at work.

Not really what you'd actually call scary, but attractive to look at and genuinely funny in places. Cleverer than you expect; there's a nicely subtle gag about the teenage characters thinking the world revolves about them, when it's really the adults who are in charge and know what's going down. Good soundtrack, too. Entertaining stuff.

See like a vampire?
Illustrated in the colours that the vampires of this graphic novel can see, Red, Black and white dominate the wood print style images. No to everyone's preference, and it does tire the eyes after a while of reading, the story starts off humorously but does seem to find it difficult to go further than that, not finding its place successfully throughout the remainder of this Graphic novel. A shame as I think it all had potential.

Just ok
Watched this older movie on Crackle. I'm a Lucky Liu fan so was hoping for a treat. Overall this movie was mediocre, though. Story was ok but could've played out so much better. Several familiar faces, but they couldn't really save this one. The ending was quite anti-climatic. If you REALLY like vampire movies you MIGHT enjoy this one(though I think you'll find a lot of liberties taken). Otherwise, this one is really NOT worth a watch. (Some partial nudity so not for the kids)
