Hey ya'll it's been quite some time since I've reviewed well, anything but after watching The Returned I just knew I had to dust off the old computer cobwebs and write down my thoughts about it. I've put off watching this movie for such a long time and finally this past week I decided to finally sit my butt down and view it on Netflix, yay!! Release Date: October 18, 2013 Director: Manuel Carballo Country: Spanish-Canadian Run Time: 98 Minutes Genre: Drama, Zombies, Thriller A couple (Emily Hampshire, Kris Holden-Ried) flee after supplies of a protein used to treat a zombie virus run low, and all those infected are ordered to report to a secure medical facility. Review The Returned was a film I had been putting off viewing for a very long time despite having it in my Netflix queue for what felt like years. As some of you probably know a few years back their was a French film released with the exact same name so naturally I thought this would...

Book Trailer Tuesday is a Weekly Blog Post hosted by me at Blood Sweat and Books. Each week I choose two Book Trailers to showcase. One Trailer will be for an upcoming book and the other will be one that has already been released. This week I focus my spotlight on Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix & Hold Me Like A Breath by Tiffany Schmidt. Available Now: Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking. To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they’ll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination. A traditional haunted house story in a thoroughly ...

Young Adult (Contemporary,Romance) The Twelfth of Never by Brenda Ortega [ Purchase ] Presley may be smart, but she buckles under pressure – or more specifically, she alphabetizes. In stressful moments her mind grabs words and compulsively sorts the letters, like a frightened guard dog chasing its tail. So it’s no surprise when signs from the universe constantly warn her: stay out of the spotlight. That’s hard to do when her Elvis-loving mom, the school secretary, plays embarrassing snippets of The King’s hits on the PA every day. It’s even harder when the school’s biggest goofball nominates Presley for president and her campaign speech turns disastrous. Her greatest refuge from th...

Science Fiction & Fantasy The Cure by Stephanie Erickson [ Purchase ] "One life will make the difference." Macey Holsinger has heard that promise for as long as she can remember. But it hasn't saved anyone yet, not even her little brother.  Little is known about the disease, except that it’s a rapid and absolute killer. Countless lives have been claimed in the last hundred years, and government scientists are working hard to stop the spread through human experimentation. Testing has killed nearly as many people as the disease and, to Macey at least, it seems like they’re no closer to a cure.  At sixteen, conformity to the government’s idea of “sacrifice f...

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly blog post hosted by  Breaking The Spine  where readers showcase which books they are highly anticipating. This week I'm turning my spotlight on Ash & Bramble by Sarah Prineas . Expected Publication:  September 15, 2015 from Harper Teen When the glass slipper just doesn’t fit… The tale of Cinderella has been retold countless times. But what you know is not the true story. Pin has no recollection of who she is or how she got to the Godmother’s fortress. She only knows that she is a Seamstress, working day in and out to make ball gowns fit for fairy tales. But she longs to forsake her backbreaking servitude and dares to escape with the brave young Shoemaker. Pin isn’t free for long before she’s captured again and forced to live the new life the Godmother chooses for her—a fairy tale story, complete with a charming prince—instead of finding her own happily ever after. ___________________________________ Why Am...
