Once again my favorite authors don't let me down. Nevada and Rogan get their HEA and we get to still enjoy the Baylor family and all the investigating that comes with. This novella was a nice way to tie up Nevada's story and start Catalina's who steps out of the shadow of her sisters. The narrator has changed as well to reflect the younger sister. I think Rene is great but the change is nice.
Can't wait for the next book to see who is doing what to who. What is going on with the mortgage and Augustine? Is Rogan's HQ still across the street and will there be a love interest for Catalina? So many questions just waiting to be answered.Once again my favorite authors don't let me down.

Think you know Dracula? If you haven't read the book then you only know the Hollywood story and not the real Dracula. He is more of an overarching evil that a constant presence that the heroes are fighting. The story is told from journal entries, telegrams and letters more than actual dialogue which I found to be very interesting and engaging. I can only imagine the horror people felt as they read this story for the first time. Before all the movies and slasher films Dracula was the horror that made you hide under the sheets and not look out the window at night, lest you get caught in his gaze and become his prey. This book must have made it seem that no one was safe at night. Simon Vance is a great way to listen to a book.Think you know Dracula?

It's a shark movie with Jason Stratham, don't expect it to rise to the level of Captain Ahab or even Sheriff Brody. A bigger boat won't help you. This movie is exactly what it claims to be, big shark vs puny humans. We only win because don't have to live in the water otherwise we wouldn't be the apex predator. There are a couple of the got you "oh shit" moments that make it fun. After being traumatized by Jaws in the theater as a small child, it does make me rethink going in the water.It's a shark movie with Jason Stratham, don't expect it to rise to the level of Captain Ahab or even Sheriff Brody.

This movie is so wrong it's right! Fair warning, this ain't the Muppets of your childhood. This movie makes every disgusting innuendo you can imagine along with puppet porn and delivers an adults only movies that if you don't find funny then we can't be friends.

I checked out Hotel Artemis with an understanding it would be somewhat like the concept of the hotels in the world of John Wick and on that point I was not disappointed. The plot and the story could have been fleshed out so much more in order to give you a better understanding of the way things worked. Instead, I believed it relied on people's interest in Chevron and of course Winston, but it only took moments to show us how that work with John. This world is not as polished and sophisticated as John's world, it is gritty, grimy and downright ugly. We know Nurse is an alcoholic with a dark past, tied to a little boy, her companion Everest is caring and thoughtful, not just muscle. We learn how she ended up there but not him. So much subplot that was left out which would have made for a more interesting story of the Artemis and it's guests. Instead we get to spend time with arms dealer who is only mildly interesting. The Wolfking barely makes an appearance, as important to the entire story as he his, but Nurse's response to his son's calls are entertaining. There was so much more to this world that could have been shown.I checked out Hotel Artemis with an understanding it would be somewhat like the concept of the hotels in the world of John Wick and on that point I was not disappointed.

An ok film, I actually think the best part is Michael Pena and the truth serum. The way he tells stories is great. As always great to see a female kick some ass and not need the guy's help, Scott is actually a bumbling "hero." A lighthearted film that doesn't seem to take itself very serious. And a villain not bent on world domination, which is a nice change of pace.An ok film, I actually think the best part is Michael Pena and the truth serum. The way he tells stories is great.

I have yet to finish it but I have 2 things to say:
1. Thank you for cutting down on the orgy/sex scenes. As we the fans have said, it's not that we don't mind them, we mind the fact that the freaking plot doesn't advance or it takes 300 pages to start.
BUT
2. Nathaniel is even more annoying than the last book, whining and DEMANDING SEX!?!?! Excuse me but Anita doesn't own him a dam thing, least of all sex when he wants it. Whine, we only have sex once a day, we use to have it at lease twice. Sorry but that pissed me off so much. She wouldn't take that crap from Richard, I don't see why this is different.
So finished it and it wasn't bad. Bad guys caught and plot advanced, not by much but not due to constant sex just the way this story went. It was pretty easy to figure out the bad guy and there was even a surprise appearance of another bad guy/good guy.
If she can stay on task then there may be hope yet for the books, however she need to do something about Nathaniel. He is becoming very manipulative to the point of abusive.I have yet to finish it but I have 2 things to say:

Do you need to watch ST2? No. Should you watch it? Yes. It's been over 15 years and our lovable State Troopers are back but not quite the way you think. A boundary dispute has a part of Canada now becoming part of the USA and our guys are being brought in to patrol the highway and work the changeover. And you can bet those Canadians are sure happy to see us, eh. Not so much. The Mounties and our guys pull no punches as they find ways to harass each other to see who will win out, throw in the Mayor and a town who hates them and it's uphill battle to win the town's respect, especially given the whole metric situation. Which leads to a question, does Farva ever get his liter of cola?Do you need to watch ST2? No. Should you watch it? Yes.

Not the worst movie with rampaging animals gone bad, the genetic modifications were interesting.

What started as an April Fool's joke on behalf of the authors is now a trilogy taking us on another ride into the world of Kate Daniels. The task taking Roland's warlord Hugh D'Ambray and making him into something we no longer hate? Maybe feel sympathy for? Maybe even like?! The horror!!
Strap in and prepare to feel conflicted and maybe shed a tear or two as we see Hugh deal with thoughts and feelings he most likely never had to deal with before. Will the warlord become a real man with an actual heart? Will Bucky ever actually show his true self and if so what exactly is he? Was it fate that brought Hugh and Bucky together? I can't wait to find out.What started as an April Fool's joke on behalf of the authors is now a trilogy taking us on another ride into the world of Kate Daniels.

First this movie has Charlie Hunnam without a shirt, check out that back. I never watched SoA but I did see him Nicholas Nickleby which I enjoyed. Also I like the fast paced dialogue of Guy Ritchie so I enjoyed this film. A different version of the story with decent fight scenes and likable characters.

I never read the book so I don't know what I was expecting. Visually the costumes of the misses were stunning, the colors through the movie were bright and beautiful, I especially like Misses Whatsit.
I felt the search for father was a bit rushed, the whole room thing didn't make a lot of sense and then the battle with IT was just a bit underwhelming. I realize the book was written a while ago, and maybe if I had found it when I was younger I would have liked it more. I am a fantasy fan/devotee. It just didn't connect with me.I never read the book so I don't know what I was expecting.

I'm not really sure what to say about this very odd movie. I only got it because of Jason, he doesn't speak much but his shirt is off most of the time so I'm ok with that, you just have to look past the fact he's a cannibal.
