Pick of the Week
Plot #1 Homage Variant – great homage to House of Secrets #92. I have been hearing great things about the book.
In order to receive… First you must give. When Chase Blaine’s estranged brother and sister-in-law are murdered, he becomes guardian to McKenzie and Zach, the niece and nephew he hardly knows. Seeking stability for the children, Chase moves his newly formed family to his ancestral home in Cape Augusta… which overlooks a deep, black bogland teeming with family secrets.
Anyone watching Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance? I was always a fan of these darker “kids” movies that weren’t for kids (e.g., Watership Down, Labyrinth) growing up…also used to have the hard covers If the Creation Myths series..
Recently watched the first season. Sry excited to see how true they are keeping to the original “feel” of the movies with the puppetry. There are some minor plot holes between this series and the original movie story, but nothing major. Visually stunning to say the least. Anxiously awaiting season two!
