This is the fourth and final book in the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. This book will take place in Chicago and I am personally scared of what is going to happen. I do not know if our heroes will make it through to the end.

Stalking Jack the Ripper Series: Escaping From Houdini
This is the third book in the series and yet another incredible adventure for our detectives.
At the end of Hunting Prince Dracula, we see our heroes ready to go on a ship to America. They arrive on the ship and leave the port. Then things start going downhill, as the nightly entertainment begins.
The Moonlight Carnival, lead by Mephistopheles, could be considered one of the great wonders of the world. With its characters taking their names and personalities from tarot cards, we receive an edge of mystery.
The murders start with the daughters of high born and important being brutally taken apart and stabbed.
As this book goes along, we see lies and masks of all sort. This book creates a giant bump in the lovely Wadsworth-Cresswell relationship.
I loved this book and yelled at this book and threw this book against the wall. It is definitely a fine addition to the series. This was a bittersweet send-off in this book for our detectives and I cannot wait for it to come out.

Stalking Jack the Ripper Series: Hunting Prince Dracula
Okay, so, the first thought that went through my head was 'Wait, isn't it Count Dracula?' Well self, you are correct. Sort of. The Prince part has a lot to do with the lore of this and the "why" the killer was killing.
At the end of the first book, we learn that Audrey Rose and Thomas Cresswell are both going to study in Romania at a school for forensics.
Right off the bat, before they even arrive, we are deep in the murders. There are "vampire" related murders going on in the news and actually, a man stabbed with a wooden stake in the middle of the aisle on the train. (By the way, they're on the Orient Express.)This sets off some inner turmoil in Audrey Rose, with all the events of the Jack the Ripper case.
When she arrives at the school she receives some female-centered scorn from the headmaster, Moldoveanu. Again, hit with another blow their spots are not actually guaranteed in the school. Also, quite soon after they arrive, another murder takes place, this one much closer to home. Another student has been murdered.
There is a lot to tell about this book, about the lovely Cresswell whom we learn quite a bit about, and about all the other characters. A lot of it is central to the plot, though, so I won't tell you.

Avengers: Endgame SPOILERS!!!!!!!
This is a bit late, but I've been busy crying. This is worse than Infinity War because we have to say goodbye. Goodbye to the ones who started us off on this journey. Natasha sacrificed herself to get the soul stone, Tony died in the final battle, and Steve isn't Captain America anymore. Tony donned the Infinity Stones to defeat Thanos in the last effort to save everything, dying in the process. Natasha died making sure that Clint could get back to his family and Steve went back in time to be with Peggy.
Long story short, Thanos is defeated, we all cried, and we will forever love our original Avengers.

Geekerella: A Fangirl Fairytale
Geekerella-A book to amaze
Geekerella is a book from two points of views. One is from Danielle "Elle" Wittimer, daughter of the mega Starfield fan and convention starter Robin Wittimer. The other is blooming actor Darien Freeman, star of hit show Seaside Cove and a secret geek.
The show Starfield is an old and ended TV show with devoted followers. Only 54 episodes but one of the most passionate fan followings. The show follows the life of Federation Prince Carmindor on his journey aboard the starship Prospero and his fight to save the universe from the Nox.
Darien is starring as Carminidor in the movie remake and Elle doesn't think highly of him. She is a blogger and fan, herself.
True to the story it's named after, Elle has an evil stepmom and evil stepsisters. Darien has a father who plans on getting him to the big leagues.
The ExcelsiCon, the Starfield convention, is coming up and Darien has to play the part. Will Elle be able to go? Will Darien be able to show his geek? How do their lives intersect?
This book is amazing, with plot twists that will leave you spinning. A must-read for any geeks and any romance lovers.

Stalking Jack the Ripper Series
I absolutely love murder mysteries and this is one of the best series I've read. There are three books with amazing plot twists and a love story intertwined under all the murder.
First of all, there's Audrey Rose Wadsworth, our main character. Now, this is during the time of Jack the Ripper, so 1888. Corsets and ladies sitting at home and sewing and having tea and being backstabbing attention seekers. But not our Audrey Rose. While she is a lady of high standing, she is also talented in the art of cutting open dead bodies and deciphering everything there is to know.
Next, we have Mr. Thomas Cresswell, a handsome young man who can shut off his emotions with the flick of a switch. This charming young man can be quite the cold-hearted person but around Miss Wadsworth, he flirts like his life depends on it.
Both of these lovely children are apprentices under Dr. Jonathan Wadsworth, Audrey Rose's uncle. By the way, Audrey Rose's father does not approve in any way, of this.
Now, when Dr. Wadsworth gets taken by the police as a suspect in the Jack the Ripper cases, Audrey Rose goes on an investigative rampage to find the truth, with Thomas backing her and protecting her.
Along the way, stuff hits the fan, like, dude. It's a mess. In the end, they discover the truth, and it definitely wasn't who I thought it was gonna be.

Avengers: Infinity War SPOILERS!!!!!!
Infinity War-A movie for the ages/to crush the ages
Avengers: Infinity War is a movie that makes you laugh, cry, and smile. All your favorite characters in one (or two) places. This is the movie that leaves you on the edge of your seat. The movie that has a dozen plot twists.
It starts off normal and then you might as well prepare yourself to die right then. We see the Asgardians and how damaged they are after Thanos attacks. Only Thor, Loki, Heimdall, and Hulk are left alive. Thanos quickly gets the Space Stone and our hearts break as Heimdall dies and Loki "dies".
We are then transported to Earth with Hulk, where we meet up with Tony Stark and Doctor Strange. Peter Parker joins us during a battle against two of the "children of Thanos" and we get swept aboard a donut spaceship.
We see Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Vision, Steve Rogers/Captain America, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, and Sam Wilson/Falcon. The children of Thanos fight against them for the Mind Stone.
Next, Team Cap goes home where they meet up with Colonel James Rhodes. They then are transported to Wakanda, where Shuri, Black Panther's genius little sister, tries her best to get the Mind Stone out of Vision without killing him.
A battle ensues and Thanos wins. At least in this movie. What will happen in Avengers 4? How will good prevail?
