DerrickDon’t go into this thinking it’s like the first two movies.. it’s not. The only thing I was impressed with was the Horse Hung Infected, which they gave a name to.. Samson. ( this got a bonus star ) lol. And a pregnant infected had an uninfected baby. And how the infected took baths in the river. It was somewhat heartfelt how the main character Spike loved his family and wanted to cure his mother of her illness. Spike was my favourite character. Other than that this was a huge disappointment ( in my opinion ). It as a stand alone ( with sequels after it ) would’ve been better. ( The Story is good, but it just doesn’t fit with the first two ) And with this comes the character of Jimmy, he’s shown in the beginning and the end.. and he and his clan are dressed up as martial artists.. this made the movie even more ridiculous..

DerrickI read/listened to this twice. The first time it caught my attention until the Tandy character part came up and that whole thing depressed me, so I couldn't finish it. The second time I gave it a try and really paid attention. It's is beautifully written. Ashley Lutin is our main character, "mourning" the death of his wife and the kidnapping of his son. Transforming himself into something uniquely grotesque with piercings, other body modifications, His job is conducting "fake death " rituals to help process his grief, while trying to help other people who are struggling with the will to live or yearning for a better life, kind of like being reborn or seeing life in a different lens. As for himself, Ashley is a self hating widower, who indulged in homosexual activity.. he meets Jinx.. and everything comes to light.. Then there's the story of A man named Tandy who falls in love with his husbands cancer, I couldn't handle the first or second time. My Opinion... This was at first hard to follow. But it's beautifully written. Delves on the Dark side of human curiosity, depression, grief and sexuality. I think what made me upset was the story of Tandy, that was disturbing and hard to read. ( Maybe an actual trigger for me ) and it lost a few star ratings. Read from: Jul 27, 2025 - Jul 29, 2025

DerrickYou know how trilogies.. sometimes the sequels are not as good as the first... well this was better than the first. This was a little more fast paced. The kills were really creative in this one. Read from: Jul 21, 2025 - Jul 23, 2025

DerrickDo Your Research. Check Your Triggers. ! 3 Families are approached by a mysterious man at their respective Public Park. What he has to offer could change all their lives. If they participate in a newly built playground and get paid $1000 for each hour (up to 4 hours ) they are there. But not all is what it seems. My Opinion: You get Children Vs. Saw Contraptions. SOME of these parents treat their children like they are pieces of garbage and other cases money makers. They are their kids's bully. Other parents are passive and/or encouraging towards their kids. Don't get me wrong, there's a few surprises in for the parents as well. The Kids: there's really a lot of them to even remember names. But a lot of them are real courageous while others are bullies. The Creator of the playground is a real vile woman. And her henchmen are no better. Well one does kinda redeem himself. The Playground is just a SAW Contraption waiting to go off. This will be a bloodbath! The author really put a lot of work into this. It didn't gross me out (except one part ) like COWS did. But I was cheering on the children even though I knew what was going to happen. Read from: Jul 16, 2025 - Jul 17, 2025

DerrickI wanted to love this, I didn't hate it. I liked it actually. The reincarnation aspect was heavily promoted and that's what caught my interest. I didn't care much for the adults in this book. Kate's son Jack was the one who was way more interesting than any of them. Jack starts claiming he's the reincarnate of Kate's younger sisters son, who died years prior before Jack was born. Laying out odd and horrible details of Zack's death. Kate wants to figure out why... what she gets is dark secrets that her family members are hiding. But this book left a lot of unanswered questions. Was i left disappointed.. yes. Was the story also very good.. yes because I want more. Read from: Jul 14, 2025 - Jul 16, 2025

DerrickDear Carter Wilson, what a wonderful well written story with well developed characters. Your writing is impressive and had me hooked from beginning to end.<br/>You have a new fan!! <br/><br/>My Opinion- The Audiobook review: Theres not really a review I can write that will do this justice or make you want to read this book. I can tell you the characters are well structured. But that doesn’t cut it. The story and plot are superb.. but that doesn’t cut it either. <br/>The Mystery will hook you. The twist.. I never guessed. Very likeable characters. Very mysterious characters as well. <br/>And now for the Narration: I loved Allyson Ryan and<br/>Patrick Zeller for narrators! I could listen to these two all day for every book! <br/>This is in the top 5 favorites books I’ve read/listened to so far.

Derrick⚠️ Check Your Triggers ⚠️ and Hold your stomach because this was a 💩show.. literally lol. This made me gag and throw up in my mouth!! The only character I liked was the dog. Poor thing. The humans in this book are just vile, there's no redeeming qualities for any of them. And the revenge.. was not nearly enough. Was this badly written?.. NO. But this book made me think about praying to Jesus and I'm an atheist. Why did I read this book?.., because so many booktokers recommended it and all I can say is **** you booktok.. just kidding.. kind of. Read from: Jul 11, 2025 - Jul 12, 2025

DerrickAudiobook Review: This was a hauntingly cute story. Cameron ( Cam ) a local teenage boy who lives across the street from Crimson House. A terrifying tale to behold. With local lore and stories behind it. He watches as another teenage boy (Hugo Cruz ) and his father move into that same house. Instantly eerie things start to happen and then the boys are thrust into each others arms. The boys and their friends are about discover the secrets Crimson House Holds. Will they survive to tell the tale. Or will they parish along with the secrets the house holds?.. My Opinion: I loved this book. I loved the cute gay romance. I loved mystery. I loved the plot with the hauntings. I love the conclusion and ending.. so satisfying. The characters were each unique in their own way. The new romance feeling. This book made my heart melt. Made me tear up at times. And really had me on edge. It does get a little slow at times. I actually cared about each character. The Narration- We all know by now I have a problem with narrators. I rather have Alexa read to me. This time the narrator wasn't that bad. He did make the characters just seem more adult then they should have and he made the one girl sound so blah. I wish he made different voices for different characters to I could remember who was who. Other than that.. good job Such a satisfying read.

DerrickDear Dathan Auerbach, I know you published this in 2012.. but.. you broke my heart with this book and you have a new fan. Seriously though. i understand why people didn't like this book. I get it.. the whole stalker thing or something else entirely. Like I always say.. ! check your triggers.. ! I loved this book. The creative way the author wrote this, with an entire story being told by the fictional character in a memoir I think it was. The ups and downs of childhood and being poor and somewhat of an outcast. Finding that " one friend". An innocent school project that will haunt/effect the main character for the rest of his life. The unforeseen mystery. The creepy vibes. The heartbreak. The Guilt. The Trauma and lasting effects. From the happy beginnings to the sad tragic end.. I felt this was written wonderfully. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Read from: Jul 03, 2025 - Jul 04, 2025

DerrickI watched the Movie (I Still See You ) which is based off this book and I fell in love with it. So I had to read the book. You have relatable and believable characters. A dark twist to an unbearable tragedy. You have a story within a story to keep you entertained and wanting more. Plus you get ghosts, romance, mystery, murder. Dealing with grief and loss is a big part of this story as well. I really enjoyed reading this. And i highly recommend the movie as well. Read from: Jul 02, 2025 - Jul 03, 2025
