A Love triangle tale of neurotic mind vigilantes

November 29, 2014 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Justine suffers from near-incapacitating hypochondriac whose mother died from a rare disease everyone refused to believe she had. Damn good reason to have health anxieties, I say. She struggles through each day as if it’s her last in case that elusive vein will explode in her brain. But living on edge is almost too much for her hunky, yet simple-minded boyfriend, Cubby. That is until she meets Packard, a mysterious Turkish restaurant owner, who says he can save her hypochondriac self-implosion. Justine (and myself!) is skeptical to say the […]

Are you more heroic if you sacrifice yourself for people who shun and fear you?

Disclaimer! This was granted to me by Open Road Integrated Media through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. Aerin is the lonely, ostracized daughter of the ruler of Damar. She has pale skin and fiery red hair amongst a people who are bronzed with dark hair. She cannot even remember who first told her the story, but she has known for as long as she can remember that her mother was a commoner witch-woman who came from the North, who ensorcelled the […]

I’m not entirely sure what the protagonist went out drinking, but I doubt I’d want any of it

3.5 stars Pretty much exactly a year after his girlfriend Merrin Williams was found raped and murdered, Ignatius “Ig” Perrish wakes up after getting blackout drunk and discovers horns spouting from his forehead. He’s not entirely sure they’re not a hallucination at first, but when he discovers how people behave around him due to the horns, he realises that they are sadly all too real. Turns out the horns make everyone around him spill their deepest, darkest secrets. They confess to their most shameful wishes […]

The Hunger Games meets Cube

November 16, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

While my interest was vaguely piqued by the movie trailer, I probably wouldn’t have picked this up if I hadn’t been at LAX waiting for a flight.  It was alright, though.

Neil Gaiman writing about Norse mythology?  No way, not him.

Feminism ruins everything, but not in the way you might think.

You know how when you’re young and you don’t realize how problematic some things are, but then you learn better and cringe when you reread a comic you once thought was super awesome?  It’s like that.
