This is the third book in the trilogy with Sea Sick and Ravage being the first two; although a trilogy, you don't need to read them all as they work equally well as standalone stories.

Savage is more than your typical zombie apocalypse story, it doesn't focus on the zombies and the usual eating-fest that accompanies such stories, it is more about the survivors and their quest to remain human both literally and figuratively.

I have to say that I enjoyed this trilogy and found Savage neatly finishes the series with satisfaction although not without some losses on the way! There aren't many books that make my eyes leak and I certainly didn't expect a horror/zombie book to do this but Savage did! I think it's because the author creates characters so well you get attached to them and when one of them is killed, it affects you ... well it did me anyway when one particular character met their end.

Well written, excellent characters, perfect setting, great pace and plenty of tension makes this a great read.

Crown of Embers ( The Chosen book 3)
By Meg Anne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"If it's a war she wants, I'll damn well give her one."

Kiri Helena Solene may have gotten her mate back, but that was just the beginning. The battle lines have been drawn, and her nemesis has already struck the first blow.

Surrounded by her Circle, Helena's power continues to grow. However, this time, power alone will not be enough. To save the Chosen, Helena must seek out the Forsaken to forge new alliances with those long forgotten by her kind. But will they be friend or foe? After centuries of neglect, is it too late to mend the wounds of time?

Rowena will stop at nothing to prove that Elysia and the Chosen are hers. With Elysia on the brink of destruction, it's time for all of the Chosen to remember who, and what, they are.

Their fate depends on it.

Well this book didn’t hold back! We start of mourning Anderson and seeing Helena try to deal with grief as well as bringing the forsaken together. I have spent all book thinking omg I wish Darrin would stop being such a bitch then bam he’s turned to ash saving his love! Well I didn’t see that coming and felt kinda bad for being so harsh about him. On a high note Roman is officially a circle member. This is a decent series.

Action Packed Fun
Great Acting
Wonderful Script
A Perfect Balance of Action and Humor
This is a movie I will never get sick of watching. Along with being absolutely hilarious this movie offers hilarious commentary passed between action sequences. For an action movie the plotline is extremely complete and thought out, for this reason alone the movie is good but they take it a step further than even that. The humor is well packed in and the characters are not only memorable but unique as well. There's nothing I love more than a truly unique, never before seen film and there is not a single movie out there that comes close to this.
  
The Last Samurai (2003)
The Last Samurai (2003)
2003 | Action, Drama, War
Troubled Civil War veteran Tom Cruise goes off to Japan to train their new modern-style army just after the Meiji restoration; winds up being allowed to become a samurai despite not quite meeting the minimum height requirement.

Clearly wants to be a lavish Dances With Wolves-style epic drama; works well enough as a historical adventure with some well-staged action sequences, but not quite as moving or powerful as it would really like. Every Japanese person I know who's seen this movie seems to think it's supposed to be a hilarious deadpan comedy. Someone should tell Cruise it's bad manners to organise a kamikaze charge and not die alongside everyone else.

Not enough new good content
There is a lot of new content but most of it is subtitled, I not completely opposed to subtitled but it’s a Netflix original, I would have thought they’d provide dubbed as well.

I think the content has gone downhill as well, not as much new content being released and I often find Now TV or other platforms to have newer content quicker.

It buffers more often, none of my other apps buffer and their quality is higher.

I’ve rated it 6/10 because I still like some of its original content but it could improve.

A heartwarming story
I’ll be honest, this story had me from the get go simply from being set in my home city Manchester. It's so enjoyable to read a book set in a familiar surrounding, and I’m not sure I’ve ever read one set here before, and it made this book even more entertaining.

Story wise, it’s a bit fluffy and cheesy in parts, but it’s still a heartwarming tale of love and friendship, with a bit of humour and even sadness thrown in. All 4 of the main characters are well developed and easily relatable, and it’s one of those quick and easy well written books that you can’t help but find enjoyable.
