Ex-Purgatory : Peter Clines

**Slight Spoilers**

The 4th book in the Ex-Heroes series, I really enjoyed this book - a lot less zombie / superhero / post apocalypse world action than the last 3 books but still really enjoyable.  

I was pleased there was no use of the main go to super-villain  "Legion" in this book but I was saddened by the loss of one of the heroes. Hopefully this will be a temporary thing.

Clever usage of well known characters in a different setting and  loved that Gorgon was back in the book (although only a tiny bit) Banzai's cameo made me realise who Nick actually was.

If you haven't read the other 3 books then do so - you wont regret it :D

10 / 10

p.s. I noticed this spelling mistake on the About the Author page - made me chuckle :D

Digital Art by David Cousens (Book review)

Recently I wrote a review of the book Digital Art by David Cousens - it can be found here http://www.tipsquirrel.com/book-review-digital-art-by-david-cousens/ :D

Feeling ill!

Okay i feel better today - a lot better infact. i think my diabetes was playing up yesterday - that and not sleeping well at the moment left me feeling like poo! Yesterday i went to see my daughters school play aka "The leavers concert (This time its personal! - okay i added the last bit, but it would have been good!)" they all had to be dressed in Victorian clothes and were singing and dancing to a lot of old songs etc. All well and good...except half the class were wearing things like "high school musical" clothes or Disney princess dresses. Not exactly Victorian. You had random skipping things and hoop spinning. very odd. I also almost fell asleep during it - which would have been embarrassing :)

As for my daughter - well she was shoved in the back right hand side of the hall so far out of the way i could only see the top of her head. She did do a song on stage with 3 other people - "oh I do like to be beside the sea side!"

The amount of people there balling their eyes out - FFS - they are just changing schools - nothing more - get over it! :D

One thing that i thought was nice - was that they each got given a pen set with "Penhale school" written on them.

 

Lesbian Vampire Killers

5 Word Review – Lesbian Vampire Killers

Legend, Sword, Comedy, Horror, Vampire

Bit of a longer review - Spoilers

Recently dumped bloke James (the last of a blood line that slayed a Vampire Queen) and his best friend Fletch decide to go on a hiking holiday – to get away from it, meet women and well have lots of sex :) unfortunately for them the village the decide to stay at has a small vampire problem. On entering the village they spot 5 beautiful girls (who are all studying folk law and the legend of a vampire queen) in a camper van, The locals direct James, Fletch and the girls to a cottage where they can stay the night. Thinking their luck is in, Fletch starts to get a little drunk and friendly with the girls.

Their luck changes when the girls get picked off one by one by a family of “lesbian Vampires” leaving only 1 girl (Lottie – who happens to be a virgin!) and the blokes. James’s Ex also turns up at one point – she’s been turned into a vampire on route and ends up with an axe embedded in her head by Fletch after she try's to chow down on James.

The vampires are dispatched one by one – but they eventually capture James and Lottie and use their blood to bring back the Vampire Queen Camilla.

Fletch is then recruited by the local vicar to help kill the vampires and save his friends. After some initial reluctance they join forces and go in search of a fabled sword that will kill the queen. To Fletch’s delight the sword turns out to have a penis shaped handle giving him much mirth :)

Lottie confesses to James that she is a virgin and wants to give her self to James - mind, body and soul – even though she had known him just for a few hours – she knows she loves him ;)

Eventually James and Lottie with the help of the Vicar and Fletch escape the company of Lesbian vampires (who spend a lot of time kissing each other – rather than just eating their victims) The Vicar is killed by the girls – taking time out from their strenuous kissing routine.

The newly resurrected Queen goes after our heroes and manages to get hold of Fletch and Lottie while James is sent flying – luckily the sword also lands near him. The queen then does some weird long split tongue thrashing – rather than ripping the throats out of her captives. Giving James just enough time to wake up, look heroic and throw the sword through the vamps heart.

Queen goes boom and the other vampires turn back into normal humans – although still lesbians. All’s well the ends well. :)

The 3 remaining survivors decide to become “Lesbian Vampire Killers” and drive of into the sunrise – Lottie doesn't seem to sad that all of her friends were turned into vampires that tried to killer her - nor that they are now all dead.

Quite a funny comedy with some good gross bits – i would give it 7/10 – try it. Even if – like me - you don't like Gavin and Stacey (who the main characters star in) its quite a good film.
