Review: Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini My rating: 3 of 5 stars So, not my kind of book. But you’ll love this book if you like romance, especially paranormal romance with Greek mythology built in. I must admit Devon Sorvari (Narrator) did a fantastic job telling the story. Look, I realize I am not the target audience. So I don’t want to be mean or disparaging. I did finish reading, so it kept me…

To Hell and Back Part IX: Hellraiser IX: Revelations (2011)

In today's review, I find out that runion's can be hell's gateway as I attempt a positive review of 2011's Hellraiser IX: Revelations #StevenBrand #NickEversman #TraceyFairaway #SebastienRoberts #DevonSorvari #SannyVanHeteren #DanielBuran #JayGillespie

The creative world can be a minefield for the companies, with rights management being a double edge sword for free ideas to build upon but the exclusivity of your creations in peril. As the rights for the Hellraiser character was in jeopardy, once again some new faces needed to make a sacrifice, both in the film and in reality. In 2011, crisp souls were indeed tested, In Hellraiser IX Revelations.

Sweet Suffering Pt 9 (Hellraiser: Revelations, 2011)

Sweet Suffering Pt 9 (Hellraiser: Revelations, 2011)

When Dimension realized they were about to lose the rights to Hellraiser, well that called for a sequel.  Revelations is, admittedly, very clearly meant to be a Hellraiser sequel. It brings back a lot of the imagery and general atmosphere of the first few films. It is all a masquerade though.

The film begins with a found footage sequence in which Nico and his buddy Steven are on their way too…

“Life out here is hard, my mother used to say, so you have to be harder. Even she wasn’t strong enough to fight off the sickness. By the end she was just a shell of herself, her skull showing through the skin on her face, talking nonsense when the delirium took her. Sometimes she didn’t know who I was or what was happening. And then she remembered, and it was even worse.”

Daisy Wilcox — Willie — lives in an alternative, twisted West Texas, where infected people, or shakes, attack the living, and it’s a struggle to survive. After her mother succumbs to the sickness, it’s all Willie can do to keep her family safe. And then her dad risks everything, and it’s up to her to make it right.

Review: THE RISE OF NINE

The Rise Of Nine by Pittacus Lore Book 3 of Lorien Legacies series Read by Neil Kaplan, Marisol Ramirez and Devon Sorvari. Genre: urban fantasy Format: paperback & audiobook About The Rise Of Nine:

In the beginning we were a group of nine. Nine aliens who left our home planet of Lorien when it fell under attack from the deadly Mogodorians. We scattered on earth and went into hiding. We look like ordinary teenagers. We are not. Until I met John Smith, Number Four, I'd been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive. Together we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate. They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They caught me in New York - but I escaped. I am Number Six. The Mogodorians want to finish what they started. But they'll have to fight us first.

This book is chuck full of too stupid to live characters with a weak plot.

Review:

I know from Book 2 that some of the protagonists are too stupid to live (TSTL) but I'm kinda hoping that the TSTL would dumb down in this book. No such luck! Your in a cell with Setrákus Ra so you point your Morgadorian cannon somewhere else and kill foot soldiers in order to give Setrákus Ra all the chance in the world to choke hold you to death. Non-realistic scenes like that brought the suspension of disbelief to rock bottom! And this is not the only TSTL scene in this book. Annoying!! This book might be a quicker read for those readers more tolerant than me. But because I had to have breaks from the stupids, this book took a long while to read. Another thing which I find annoying is that Pittacus Lore is so very fond of cliffhangers. This author duo almost always ends a chapter in a cliffhanger. They might think that cliffhanger is a brilliant writing tactic, and it probably is, but in this series I just find it supremely annoying! James Frey aka Pittacus Lore (with this book) obviously has great imagination! His world of the Lorien Legacies is beautiful and intricate! But he needs to learn how to build-up plot better because the plot is pretty weak, specially in this book. The character developement could sure use a lot of improvement, like giving them consistency for one. A few lessons with a fight scene expert would also do a world of good. Might make the fight scenes more realistic. I have to say that the narrators are all professionals! They read in clear distinct words with appropriate tone and diction. I can't hear any slurring from any of them all throughout the audiobook. This tugged the rating of this book up a bit. At the end of it, this book has a lot of promise which were not all brought out to it's full potential. And no matter how good the narrators were, there are just too many annoying qualities in this book for me to read further in this series. After the third book, I think I now have a firm grasp of this series and sad to say that this one is not for me. However if they make further movies based on this series, I will most likely watch it in the hopes that the annoying qualities would disappear in the movie version.
