This one will give you whiplash!

This book was awesome!! So much better than the first one! I honestly wasn't going it read this book. I almost gave up on it after the push and pull that was Driven and the cliffhanger that I thought was completely unnecessary.

I'm so happy that I stuck with it (I just can't abandon a story, good or bad; I always have hope that it gets better). And boy did this one get better! IMO, I think that this entry was 100 times better than the first book (I know, hyperbole, but you get my point). The pace was quick, the dialogue was funnier (none of that cheesiness that had me rolling my eyes before), and most importantly, the characters GREW THE F*** UP. As Haddie put it, "You are kind of all over the place when it comes to him. S#!+, the two of you are giving me whiplash." I swear that immediately upon reading that line, my first thought was, AMEN. Hell, Rylee was so wishy washy, I about threw my Kindle across the room! The only thing that stopped me was that I didn't want to have to finish the book on my iPhone. But thank heavens, Rylee decided that Colton was worth it, and she decided to fight for him and their relationship, even when Colton pushed her back. I loved this. Rylee's strength was admirable, and she provided unconditional love to someone who couldn't even love himself. And it sure as hell wasn't easy for her! She might've stopped vacillating, but that didn't mean that this story was smooth sailing. This one wasn't written to be a straight line, the journey of Fueled was a zigzag!

Fortunately, we got to see things from Colton's POV this time, and I must admit that these scenes were my favorite. I love love love reading the mind of a tortured hero, and I love watching them come undone for the love of a strong woman. Colton was sexy, sweet, funny, charming, broken, and perfectly imperfect in this one. This isn't the same cocky almost a-hole from Driven. He slowly begins to remove the mask and we start seeing what's underneath, and it's beautiful.

This novel had all the steam and angst you'll ever need, with an ending that'll have you on the floor! It does end in a cliffhanger, but that's okay. Just 1-click Crashed and get to reading. That's what I'm doing! I'm loving this series now and I'm so glad that I gave it a second chance. You guys should read it too!

I don't think I've ever read another book that made me so angry...and then happy...and then sad....and then angry again. Annie you poor, poor girl!! Gray, you giant, ignorant, infuriating PIG!!!  I loved him in the beginning...then I hated him, then I loved him again (sort of)...now I just don't know. When things are good for them, they are REALLY good! When it's bad, its REALLY bad. I will immediately be starting Freed because I NEED to know what happens with these two.

The story sucks you in from the beginning and takes you on so many turns that you'll be reeling at the end...word of advice, go ahead and buy the 2nd book too, because you'll need it!

First, ignore "Pantera Hater". He's just another worthless troll, trying to get a rise out of everybody.

Now, onto my review. Even back a few years ago, I remember reading reviews and hearing comments about "The Great Southern Trendkill", actually downing it if you can believe it, saying there "is not enough melody", "just noise", et cetera. Well, I have to disagree. TGST, just like the others, delivers, and shows why Pantera dominated the metal world of the '90s with an iron fist.

If the opening to the opening track (the title track) doesn't blow you away, check your pulse, you're probably dead. This is a killer way to open what is potentially Pantera's overall heaviest album. Go ahead, crank up that bad boy and scream along "IF I WAS GOD, YOU'D SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE GREAT, SOUTHERN, TREND KILL!!" The next track, "War Nerve", showcases Pantera's fury against the world further, "Drag The Waters" is an excellent, mid-tempo single, and then there are "Suicide Note Pt. 1" and "Pt. 2". The former being a very powerful, acoustic, depressing song about alienation, and the latter being an absolutely INSANE blast of rage! Very nice (both)! Also, check out "The Underground In America", and "Sandblasted Skin", which includes the famous line "THE TREND IS OVER AND GONE FOREVER!!!!"

Don't believe the anti-hype about this one. Check it out, and buy it and kick a hole in the sky.

This book put me through a roller coaster that is for sure! This story is told from multiple POV (at times he does head hop but it somehow works and I was able to over look it.) and you get into the heads of random groups of people, good and bad, during a zombie outbreak. This one runs fast and kinda crazy! These aren't fast moving zombies but the author seems to spin an original take on this world and the virus. You get nice little tidbits and maybe a clue of those the virus started but the doctor is then killed. I would really like to encounter another person who knows what's going on. There has to be an underground group, there has to RIGHT!

There were times that this book rode a Walking Dead line. With the whole 'every human left alive is bad' deal. But you actually find goodness in the craziest places and the author redeems some of the bad humans. I do have a favorite character, and I have already shipped her with one of the men. Oddly enough this said man ends up saving her in a hoard and I was squeeing.

Then--the author--choose this character to stick in a tree and toss metaphorical rocks at her the entire book and how it ended with her!!!! I was screaming and asked for a spoiler from someone who read it lol

I'm sorry I had to know if my girl was in the next book! As far as zombie series goes, this is a total win. Very well written with gender equality and everything I LOVE about a zombie book!

*I purchased a copy of this book from my local bookstore The Book Rack*

Okay maybe not ever but HOLY S*** I can't believe the crap that went into this one. First off to start I received this thing with 25# already on it.... HUGE NO NO for torque wrenches. That was the first sign to toss this thing in the dumpster. Second the thing won't even get close to 80#....It gets to 60-65# and it stops. Impossible to go any higher. I put this thing in a vice and tried to turn it.....Nothing. This thing is garbage....Third: I attempted to try it out on low pounds to see how accurate it was compared with my high end one and man was this thing off.....20# on this unit was 14# on my better one....Lastly the switch to change directions is sticky like someone just poured glue on it before they sent it....How this thing is an amazon BEST SELLER is beyhound me....I wouldn't use this as a high class paper weight.....Cancel or return immediately if you haven't already, I know I did.

Vip book 1, left me with the most sickening book hangover EVER!!!  It took me weeks to get over it.  I found my self thinking about it over and over again, and missing these characters so badly that I had to go back and re-read much of it again.  And the sex scenes???  Well, I hope you have a man around because you are going to be aching and acting like a cat in heat from these scenes!!
The Madam book 2.  Lilith is one crazy bitch!!  Her mother obviously taught her well.  You go through the how's and why's and some who's of VIP.  And brace yourselves, because where else where you find out that during those party days way back when, you could have put the X in your butt instead of chewing it up.  Yes, who knew???
MVP book 3.  Oh how I needed some more Sebastian and Ysa in my life!!  Things are getting real, and life is getting in the way of their lust and love.  I wanted to literally beat Ysa with a baseball bat at one point, not wanting them to have the HEA that I so desperately wanted them to have.  Yet, M. Robinson flips it all around and makes the world right again, giving you just what you asked for.
Prepare yourself to be consumed with these books.  Your house will be a mess.  Your husband and kids will starve.  And you will probably need to use up some sick days from work.  Because your life is about to be taken over by this trilogy!!!

Fasten your seatbelts, ladies.  You're going for a ride and author Michele Hauf is no Sunday driver.  She takes us on twists and turns, slams us back against the seat, and leaves us clinging to the armrest, quivering with anticipation.  Her heroine, Jamie MacAlister (code name La lapine), is a getaway car driver in Paris.  Jamie loves cars.  Her father Ewan MacAlister, a mechanic, taught her about cars.  Max Montenelli, her mentor in crime, taught her to drive getaway cars.  Life taught her to drive fast, very fast.

Eventually Jamie decides to go straight and Getaway Girl opens with the delivery of a rescued princess -- Jamie's first driving job for the good guys, or are they?  Things go awry fast.  Everything in this book goes fast! Who are the good clients?  Who are the bad?  Even more important, who is the good bad guy and who is the bad bad guy -- dimpled Kevin Grant or the dangerous Sacha Vital?  Which of them leaves Jamie quivering?

Getaway Girl is a fast paced, cleverly plotted, sexy romance that will leave you looking for sequels.  More adventures with Jamie, please!

Warning be prepared to wanna  be Cranked-up to get the Bloody BR Disc to Play

After 90min. of Pure Hate of this BR i Finally got it to Work Properly
Before u buy this BR u need 2 do a Google/Yahoo Search on this BR to make sure u have the correct Firmware update  Plus
if God Hates you  like he does me You'll need a SD Card
Why I have No Clue?!!!!!?!?!?!?
If the BR Format is Gonna be the Next Step in Flawless HQ Films......
I Hope this Type of Major Prob. doesn't continue

Besides this Major "Screw Job" on the Consumers  The BR does have superior PQ and the Audio is DTS  5.1 (which is better then some Audio shown in some Theaters)

The Film itself is without a Doubt A Throwback to exploitation Films /Grind House Films  of the 1970's
Everything is Over the top  Allot of "Old Fashioned Stunts and Practical shoots  and Over-the top "Hardcore" Violence

Returning are:
Jason Statham  who IMO is this Decades Ultimate Action Hero/Anti Hero
Amy Smart,  (Who really turns it up a Notch
and  Dwight Yoakam  (who is just Plain slick, sleazy, and very out there  in the Role of  Doc Miles)
Plus Bai Ling is Great  (She is just born for this type of Film)
Ron Jeremy  who is Not Naked But, Funny!!!!
Some of the Bad Guys look like they stepped out of Saint Row 2
(Which I'm not sure is  A Good or Bad thing)

If u loved the 1st Crank Take another hit
And hold on for a Crazy T&A Filled Ride of Action and  Over the Top Violence, and bizarre characters
  Over All  9/10

Alright, listen to the lyrics for this one. First of all, I can't tell whether this is about a boy she has serious anger issues with, or whether this is about a child-abuser. The latter would make the song more powerful in a lyrical sense, the former on the other hand, would just make the song wrong all the world around. But, in either case, Clarkson does a poor vocal performance here, and somebody totally messed up on giving this song a tune. It's so bad, it verges on mind-numbing, and annoying. And after you've heard the song ten times on radio, in the same morning, you'll verge on convulsions and other serious medical and mental issues. Yes, it's that bad.

Oh by the way, Reba didn't help the song any. In fact, she just made it worse, as if that was even possible. In fact, that version could be the worst excuse for a duet I've ever heard. In either case, with either song, don't buy it. Keep your sanity, and keep your ears.

As a horror film this one sucked.  As a drama, comedy, or action/adventure film this one sucked.

But I give it three stars for one reason and one reason only, and that's the part where aggressive lesbian sorority girl Anastasia (Penny Drake) pursues pretty blonde freshman Kristen (Brooke Lenzi).  Those two were hot together!

Kristen is afraid of Anastasia, but after the older girl kisses her passionately she allows herself to become Anastasia's "property" for the night, with the dominant brunette they tying her up while she playfully spanks and kisses her beautiful body!  I would really have enjoyed an entire film revolving around these two pretty women together!

Sadly, Anastasia decides to go downstairs to the kitchen for some chocolate sauce to lick off of Kristen's gorgeous body, and when she does so she's predictably killed by the cook, and the film gets completely uninteresting from that point on.  (Not that it was particularly great beforehand, aside from the two aforementioned hotties!)

You might want to rent this one just to check them out!  It was erotic!

Tomie one super hot love-love cutie. Tomie steal boyfriends from other girls. Other girls not like this. They write "Demon Girl" on Tomie's pictures. Boys see pictures, they go crazy and chop Tomie's head off. Bye bye, Tomie.
But Tomie CANNOT DIE. Tomie come back, kill everyone you know, and make you eat a bug. So THERE, girls who write nasty things on Tomie's pictures! And there is a twist ending! Very surprising! Also completely impossible to understand! Ah, so frightening!
More to the point, this odd, sadistic film drags on endlessly before finally reaching an inane and bloody conclusion that makes no sense whatsoever. I only recommend it to rabid fans of gore movies that make you feel icky and sleepy at the same time.

Reading this book was like witnessing an impending train wreck:  You know the crash is going to happen, it's going to be big and there's nothing that can be done to stop it from happening.  All you can do is hold your breath and wait to see if anyone is going to emerge alive from the wreckage.

The beginning of this book was so funny, I was sure I was in for a light-hearted read.  Then it took a darker turn and got a bit intense.  Then it got more intense.  Then I was biting my nails.  Then I wanted to hug poor Emmy.  Then I wanted to kick poor Emmy.  Then I heaved a huge sigh of relief when the whole thing ended the exact way I wanted it to.  But not in a way I felt confident in predicting was going to actually happen.  It twisted, it turned and it was unexpected in several places; I was totally riveted.

Caveat:  This book is about cheating and its emotional fall-out.  If that type of thing makes you rabid, stay away.  Otherwise, I highly recommend you read it - one of the most emotionally wrenching romances I've read in quite some time.

Some editing issues but I don't care.  Still loved it.  I hope the author is at home working on another book right now because I'm at home waiting to read it!

It cannot get  anymore brutal than this. No Sleep smells madness, amphetamines and bestiality. Where most of the heavy metal bands are just cartoons, Motorhead is the real thing. Check out Bomber and Motorhead the  two final tracks, nothing so loud has ever been recorded since or will be.  This record is absolutely scary. Hail !

This flick doesnt stop getting funny, it is vulgar and hilarious. You would never expect what happens next through out the entire movie, its a commedy roller coaster!

I know it had to have been hard to top their self titled debut cd, but I think that this just might have done it. It is filled with a much much angrier sound (if you can imagine that) and there are aren't any bad songs on here. I prefer the older intro to this one, but then the intro just gives a hint of what's waiting on into the cd. The pain filled screams are rampant, along with raging guitars and double bass drums at blistering speeds. Slipknot's is the best thing metal has going for it right now. I have strongly recommended this cd to everyone I know. Fave song is probably "My Plague" or "the Shape" F'n AWESOME!

Clive Barker takes us on another Roller Coaster ride through hell with HellBound: Hellraiser 2. Once every blue moon a sequel is made that surpasses the original, Hellraiser 2 is a stunning example of such a film. Kirsten is now in a Hospital for the mentally Ill because of her story about what happened in the previous film, She begs the docter to and the authorties to burn a blood splattered matress that her Stepmother had died on, but before she can release them, the docter takes a very mentally ill patient and with his blood raises Kirstens stepmom from the dead allowing her soul to escape from hell. What happens next is a blood splattered ride through hell. Another good thing about this film is that it actually tells a little about Pinheads past. Now there are 2 versions of this movie, the R version, and the uncut version. There isn't that much diffrence between the 2 so if you get the R rated version you still get all the gore from the unrated version. Both versions contain Graphic Violence and gore and a scene of sexuality. If you liked the first Hellraiser and didn't puke your guts out, You have to check this one out.

OK, the third book in the series and another great read but this one went by at break neck speed hardly letting the reader catch his breath until the end when you're left with your mouth hanging open and your finger poking your kindle hoping for more pages! The book is going so fast that the end is almost startling. I came a way from this one feeling like it was short compared to the others but it is actually the longest book so far, a testament to the action packed roller coaster ride that this volume is. It's very complex with a lot going on but the author builds the scenes well so you can see exactly what he's describing.

In spite of all of the excitement and action there is still a lot of character development - the dynamics between Chase and Rachel, guilt and optimism over Katie, Chase is becoming very pissed off with the whole infected/EOTWAWKI/government dropped the ball situation, and Dog is a friggin' beast!

I came away from this book dying to know what happens next, in fact, I even bought into the Kickstarter deal to help assure I get to find out!
If you haven't read the first two books, don't bother with this one, you will be hopelessly lost. Buy the other two and start at the beginning. If you have read Voodoo Plague and Crucifixion, you have no choice but to read Rolling Thunder and, trust me, when you get to the end you'll already be on the hook for book 4. Kudos to the author for a terrific first effort and congrats for breaking into the Amazon Horror top 100 authors!
