This is the first in a new series by the author. I first got hooked on Galenorn's stories through her Sisters of the Moon series, which starts with Witchling.
Once Whisper Hollow decides it needs you, there's no where to run.
Kerris fled Whisper Hollow and started a new life. For fifteen years, she was her own woman, as much as she could be. But then she is called home, and saying no is not an option.
So Kerris returns to Whisper Hollows, and accepts her destiny, her birthright, and as she accepts her place in the town, she begins to unravel some hidden secrets about her past, and in doing so, begins to reveal her new enemies.
This book grabs the reader, and swings them around, tosses them in the air, and sends them tumbling through a wonderful tale of mystery, discovery, and the right amount of character interaction in a well balanced tale, that really keeps the reader hooked.
I can't wait for book two. A series worth checking out if you like supernatural thrillers.

Independence Day: Resurgence
This sequel was not one of those that I thought, yeah, I want to see this. At least my expectations weren't high. Rotten Tomatoes low score wasn't a surprise once I saw it.
It wasn't awful, it was just missing what made the first Independence Day a great film. The story was minimal because you just get dropped into this new future, twenty years from the first story. There's no connection point with the characters, like in the first one.
I little time using effective flashbacks, or start soon after the first film ended, and see character relationships form and grow a bit would have helped pull the audience into the story.
The action was good, but most of the film tries to pull the watcher in, like the first with the human side of things, and fails, because one hardly cares about the characters, new or old.
It just sadly fell flat. I have seen much better sequels of many films, and sadly, this one is not one of my favorites. It may not have burned as film, but the story should did crash.

The Legend of Tarzan
I will admit when I first found out they were making another Tarzan film, I wasn't that interested in seeing it.
The film was better than I thought, though it was much more action over a interwoven story line with better character interaction and developments of sorts.
I would have liked the film better if you had the more traditional Tarzan and Jane first meet film, and then maybe had this one later.
Overall, it wasn't a bad film. I did have doubts at first with the choice to play Tarzan, but after I watched the film, I was proven wrong, plus, he had great on screen chemistry with his Jane. The storyline wasn't bad, and the cation was good.
Characters were likable, and the past was blended nicely into the story line without feeling forced. Probably better to see it in the theater, given the gorillas and such in the film.
