 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Three years after the destruction of the Jurassic World theme park, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing return to the Island of Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano that's about to erupt. They soon encounter terrifying new breeds of gigantic dinosaurs, while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the entire planet.  I have been a fan of the Jurassic films since I was a little child. And being born in the 90's I have watched the original trilogy so many times I have lost count at this point. I absolutely loved the first Jurassic World film when it came out and am so happy they came out with a sequel. I will say sometimes sequels have a hard time surpassing the original film and quite frankly this one while being great just was not as good as the first Jurassic World movie.  I am happy that the story finally continues, however, I wish they would have been a little more original. A volcano erupting on the island and

 Summary: A brief vignette to understand Amelie's and Oliver's relationship. This was written very early on, between Glass Houses and The Dead Girls’ Dance... This really was a short story of maybe 4 to 5 pages. I wish it would have been longer since I find Amelie from what little has been introduced about her in the first two books quite interesting. We don't know much about her. We don't know how old she is, how she came to become a vampire or why Morganville is so important to her. Out of all the places to choose to reside in, the United States wouldn't be my first choice. Especially, as a vampire.  Amelie doesn't seem to like Oliver either but yet she allows him some leeway. I do wish to see these two go head to head which seems to be coming up soon in the series seeing as how in The Dead Girls' Dance he was plotting with Shane's dad to get rid of Amelie. I know Amelie doesn't take kindly to disrespect and I hope she puts Oliver in his place.  Fr

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** This definitely felt like a filler episode in the sense that it focused more on the minor characters and less on Bill and Sookie. We definitely got a break from those two for the most part. This episode feels a little like the calm before the storm. With the way this one went I can say for certain next episode shit will hit the fan!  Poor Tara is about to see a whole lot more darkness before she sees the sun. Her one night stand with Franklin the vampire was definitely uncomfortable to watch and despite her trying to keep her distance from him, he doesn't seem to want to let her go. Not only does he try to find out more information on her, he glamours her so he can get into Sookie's house. He screams danger and from what we've seen with the first two seasons is that once a vampire sets their sight on you, it's damn near impossible to get rid of.  Sam was better off not knowing his family because he can't seem to shake them.

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Eve Rosser is turning eighteen. Does she accept the Protection or go without? This is a short story about Eve prior to the start of the series and the Glass Houses book. It is technically before the start of Glass Houses but I preferred to read a couple of the books in the series first and then read some of the short stories of our favourite or new characters. Makes it easier for me to understand the whole story and I love getting an insight on characters since the Morganville series is read from Claire's point of view.  I am impressed with how much Caine was able to include in a short story. Eve had to endure more than anyone should have to, especially, on their birthday. She is out with some friends drinking and celebrating her eighteenth birthday but things turn for the worse when one of her friends drives while under the influence. Of course it leads to an accident and only but two girls make it out alive. Eve and her best frien

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Claire Danvers has her share of challenges---like being a genius in a school that favors beauty over brains, dealing with the homicidal girls in her dorm, and above all, finding out that her college town is overrun with vampires. On the up side, she has a great roommate (who tends to disappear at sunup) and a new boyfriend named Shane, whose vampire-hunting dad has called in backup: cycle punks who like the idea of killing just about anything. Now a fraternity is throwing its annual Dead Girls' Dance and---surprise!---Claire and her equally outcast best friend, Eve, have been invited. When they find out why, all hell is going to break loose. Because this time both the living and the dead are coming out---and everybody's hungry for blood. I just need to start off by saying how amazing this book was! We have murder, action, teen angst and a whole lot of vampires. Despite it being the second book in the series, we weren't overw

***This review will contain spoilers*** This was such a phenomenal episode! There were no dull moments! Bill surprisingly held his own against the pack of werewolves. Have I mentioned that I do not like Bill? Bill was supposedly not abducted but ‘invited’ by the King of Mississippi; Russell Edgington.  Russell abducted Bill to try and learn of Sophie-Anne’s secrets, bring Bill to his cause and help convince Sophie-Anne to marry Russell so they can share territories. Seeing how broke she is…doesn’t sound like such a bad proposition. However, what is most interesting is that Russell’s pack of wolves are the same ones that Eric and Goodrich were hunting during World War II. It was so great seeing Godric again! He seemed like the only one to keep Eric in check and it was devastating when he passed away. I hope to see some more flashbacks with him in it.  Russell obviously sent men after Sookie seeing as how Bill doesn’t have a sense of self preservation. One vampire who trashed Bill’s plac
