Blood Water - Dean Vincent Carter (book review)

Book: Blood Water
Author: Dean Vincent Carter
Genre: Horror, Young Adult, Fantasy, Sci-fi
Published By: Corgi Books
Published Year: 2009

My Review:
Having owned this book for years it is a book in which I read every few years when looking for a horror novel to read as it has always left me entertained and wanting more.

The novel is about a doctor who discovers a new species of creature and after experimenting with it the parasite gets free and starts to terrorise the town while trying to find out information but not really knowing what it is looking for. At the same time the town is going through a flood so everyone is stranded and two boys in which find out about the creature try to destroy it but when it can go into people and creatures will they be able to destroy it or will it escape.

I find this book very fun to read and I find it hard to put it down once I have started it, with a fast pace as well the book is easy to get absorbed into especially as all the information within the book seems necessary for the story. I find that Carter's writing style is one that I like and therefore brings me into the novel itself and finding it chilling to read. With the book being from both the boys point of view primarily the audience is able to see the difficulty that the parasite is causing and how it is growing and learning with every new host in which it is possessing. While also having the side of the parasite so that the audience is able to understand him and know that he is searching for something within all of his hosts however not knowing what till near the end it is a good way of making the audience both feel for the creature as well as be scared of it.

I would recommend this book to those who are wanting a small book that is easy to follow and will absorb you into the book as well as it being young adult. I would also suggest those who are into parasites and those who like human take-over to read this book as it does really well with these within the novel. I personally really like this book and can't wait to read more from this author as this is the only novel of Dean Vincent Carter's in which I have personally read.

My Rating: 4/5

Film: My Teacher, My Obsession Year: 2018 Genre: Drama, Thriller Directed By: Damian Romay Starring: Lucy Loken, Laura Bilgeri, Rusty Joiner About: Riley struggles to meet friends after transferring to a new high school where her father is an English teacher. When she meets Kyla, a fellow loner, they become close friends until Riley learns that Kyla is obsessed with her father. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4F3Sn-Xzzo My Review: Wanting a style of film I don't usually watch but do enjoy I decided to watch the stalker movie that is My Teacher, My Obsession which is based on an English teacher who starts at a new school. However, when one of the students gets obsessed with him she will do anything to be with him including secluding him from everyone else. I liked the foreshadowing at the beginning of the movie which matched up to the ending very well and shows how throughout the movie that this was coming up. I also liked how the film showed how the stude

Mysteries and Secrets of Magic - C.J.S. Thompson (book review)

Book: Mysteries and Secrets of Magic Author: C.J.S. Thompson Published By: Senate Published Year: 1927 My Review: As this book is a non-fiction book about magic I did find this rather interesting to read however it seemed like this novel was more of a tester to see what kind of topic you would be most interested in with it only having short amounts on various topics such as: Supernatural Beings, Greek and Roman Magic, Magical Numbers, The Grimoires or Handbook of Black Magic, Magic in Shakespeare's Plays and many more. This did however teach me about magic that I didn't know about and now want to look more into as a result of this book and discover more about the magic of the past as well if there is any use of magic in the world now as we know it in 2018 almost 100 years after this book was first published. I would recommend this book to those who would like to know more about magic however don't know what they would like to learn as this will help you know what as

Jeepers Creepers 3 (film review)

Film : Jeepers Creepers 3 Year : 2017 Genre : Horror, Mystery, Thriller Starring : Stan Shaw, Gabrielle Haugh, Brandon Smith About : Sheriff Dan Tashtego and a team of creeper hunters enlist the help of officer Davis Tubbs to help stop the monster's eating spree. My Review: Jeepers Creepers 3 is more of a transition film between the first and second film starting exactly where the first one ended and ending exactly as one of the boys go onto the school bus like in the second movie. This film is more about Jeepers Creepers himself and showing how he is able to catch the people in which he is tracking down. As well as this you are able to see how a woman has a part of Jeepers Creepers that is able to look into his history and figure out the way of possibly destroying him. This did annoy me however as during this you see that two of the characters are able to see into his past but does not show the audience anything at all or really tell you anything about the past t
