Beautiful Story
OMG!! This is so much more than a simple retelling of the Little Mermaid as it goes beyond the scope of a mermaid who wants to be a part of the human world. This well-paced, beautiful story introduces us to Isla and we get to bear witness to her growth from a young girl with a lot of attitude to a woman who does what needs to be done to save her people.

The characters and storyline are impeccably done and the author's storytelling immediately captivated me. I did not want this story to end and I am beyond thrilled that I was able to read an advance readers copy. As soon as this is available in paperback, I will be purchasing it to add it to my bookshelf as I will be delving into this story again and again.

Mickey has had to start taking on foreclosure cases to keep his firm growing, but when his first foreclosure client is accused of murder, Mickey finds himself once again practicing criminal law. His client is the easy suspect, and the case seems pretty circumstantial. But will he be able to get her off?

Naturally, the book is filled with twists and turns, and the outcome is never really that certain. The characters are great as well, especially Mickey who is so complex. Honestly, it’s so easy to root for him, flaws and all. I did feel the courtroom finagling slowed things down a little at times, especially when it was rehashing things we already knew, but overall, this is another strong book.

The best out of all the police paranormal books.
Unfortunately this has the worst looking cover but you know the saying! This is absolute quality, brilliant written told by no nonsense British coppers made all the more believable as some haven't told anyone before for fear of ridicule and remain anonymous. I am used to situations like these yet I tell you, some of the stories sent the shivers down me. This really is an incredible book for those who have an interest or those who don't believe and want to question what the professional investigators who analyse and witness things for a living have to say about the things that have genuinely happened to them.

Incredible True Crime story
This documentary was amazing. What starts as an investigation by keyboard warriors into the identity of a messed up individual who posts a video of extreme animal cruelty turns into a twisty true crime ride.

At only 3 episodes; unlike many recent documentaries shown on Netflix, this one didn't feel drawn out. We are saved from having to actually witness any of the horrors they saw in the online videos covered (although if you are sensitive to animal cruelty and violence they do describe what occurs in the videos which is devastatingly brutal.) The documentary is narrated to a large part by some real-life heroes on a quest and the emotion they felt really comes across.

I had no idea when I started watching this where it was going but it was a jaw-dropping experience.
