Amelie's Story (The Morganville Vampires #1.5) By: Rachel Caine (Book Review)

 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. 

From what little there was of this short story, Amelie is centuries old...dare I say maybe even over a thousand years old? She has truly evolved away from the blood thirsty vampire genre and wishes for peace. I cannot wait to find out more about her since Claire pledged her life to her.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
