![]() ![]() Intriguingly, though, it can be tempting for the viewer to focus on a different Big Bad when watching "Fantastic Beasts." Enter Gellert Grindelwald, the wizard who was friends with the young Albus Dumbledore, though they parted ways because Grindelwald believed in wizarding supremacy while Dumbledore wanted greater acceptance. ![]() All this makes the American wizarding government part of the problem. ![]() The American wizarding government is suspicious of Newt because he’s British, they have no faith in his peculiar animals because they’ve never heard of them and they’re skeptical of Newt’s friend Jacob Kowalski because he’s a No-Maj - the American term for Muggle, or nonwizard. What emerges, though, is that the Muggles, nonwizards, are the least of Newt’s problems. Without giving away too much of the plot, Newt and his friends spend a fair portion of the movie trying to collect these rare animals without terrorizing too much of Muggle Manhattan in the process. Things begin to go awry within moments, though: His suitcase seems about to burst with an unknown creature, and shortly thereafter, the creature escapes, along with a host of others. " Fantasic Beasts and Where to Find Them" - the prequel movie to the Harry Potter series - begins innocently enough, with wizard genius Newt Scamander stepping off a transatlantic boat in New York City. ![]()

![]() ![]() OF COURSE, this book wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but that's the best thing about dark romance. The bathing and cooking scenes were simply the best. He opened up to Cecily and there were so many amazing scenes. What I really loved about him, was how he started softening for Cecily bit by bit and started realising that he didn't always have to hold the burdens and responsibilities he has inside. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! As always Rina Kent just knows how to write a brutal, dark, possessive and obsessive hero. ![]() ![]() I was excited to read their story from the glimpses we had gotten of the characters as individuals and how they interacted with in each other, in the previous books. I was obsessed with Jeremy and Cecily the entire way through the book. AND by far my favourite narrators as well! Their voices were perfectly cast for these characters and it was such an enjoyable experience to listen to. This was my favourite in the series so far for sure. ![]() ![]() ![]() There's no other job I would rather be doing. ![]() I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). ![]() Now, two of SnowDancer's most stubborn wolves find themselves playing a hot, sexy game even as lethal danger stalks the very place they call home. Everything she knows tells her to pull back before the flames burn them both to ash. Lieutenant Indigo Riviere doesn't easily allow skin privileges, especially of the sensual kind-and the last person she expects to find herself craving is the most wickedly playful male in the den. But nothing in his life has prepared him for the battle he must now wage to win the heart of a woman who makes his body ignite. In his position as tracker for the SnowDancer pack, it's up to Drew Kincaid to rein in rogue changelings who have lost control of their animal halves-even if it means killing those who have gone too far. As a conflict with Pure Psy looms on the horizon, two powerful wolves fight a far more intimate war of their own. Passion and reason collide with explosive force in the newest instalment of Nalini Singh’s “mesmerizing” Psy/Changeling series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She lives in Los Angeles and travels whenever she gets the chance.
