Mission Impossible : Rogue Nation

Sorry, this is posted way later than intended.

     I'll be honest, I have seen all the films in this series, and even a lot of the television series its based on. This trailer had me going really? I ended up giving it a chance because critics were a buzz about it, and even Rotten Tomatoes, liked it.
     It did have a decent developed story, plenty of action, but seemed to drag on a bit too long. Would have been just as good, with some extra editing but it was a very pleasant surprise, and worth seeing in the theater.

Visions by Kelley Armstrong

Sorry, this is posted later than intended.

     This is book two in The Cainsville Series. It needs to be read in order. The first book is Omens.

     To be honest, the first book in the series felt like it could have been a non-supernatural thriller. I'm glad that the second installment, has turned the direction I had hoped. Armstrong pulls her series back to where it should be. A perfect balance of a real world with supernatural inhabitants.
    Throughout this story, some secrets are revealed, some truths discovered, and yet, more secrets remain hidden. More players in the Fae game are revealed. And another whopper ending.
     Definitely, glad I gave this series a second chance.

Priestess Dreaming by Yasmine Galenorn

Sorry, this is way later than I intended.

     This is part of a series that needs to be read in order. The first book is Witchling.
This installment is told by Camille. I wasn't disappointed in this book but even though it did set up a small mystery of a party interested in Camille and her sisters, it fell a bit short for a story that was supposed to be about Camille finding The Merlin.
     A wonder opportunity to introduce more Fe creatures, and draw the reader deeper into the Elder Fae realm. It just seemed you were taken in than out. PLus, a bit more dramatic ending for an ancient enemy, would have been nice, but I do understand, why it was written the way it was, it did make sense, but when you build toward something, one expects a bit more bang,
     This wasn't one of my favorite installments in the Sisters of the Moon Series, it is still a good read.
