Of course he’ll face some obstacles (as he has the whole time, let’s be honest): While Abbot was dispatched with in the season 2 finale, he’s left a new adversary in his wake, one who seems even more determined to do away with the hybrids - or at least turn them into a cure. Season 3 of Sweet Tooth will likely pick up right after the conclusion of the second season, when Gus sets off toward Alaska with a team of friends to finally find his mom (hopefully).

Instead of condemning her protagonist, Chopin maintains a neutral, non-judgmental tone throughout and appears to even condone her character's unconventional actions. Contemporaries of Kate Chopin (1851-1904) were shocked by her depiction of a woman with active sexual desires, who dares to leave her husband and have an affair. The Awakening was published in 1899, and it immediately created a controversy.

Troublemaker capitalizes on Ms Evanovich’s second tier series after her wildly successful Stephanie Plum. This outrageously over-priced bit of trivia isn’t as good as your average comic book.

Unfortunately (for them at least), a spirit of vengeance has risen to right wrongs in a way only The Crow can. It’s Christmas and there’s a cabin in the woods where a group of dangerous individuals have gathered as a kind of sociopath’s retreat. For that reason, the premise of Hark the Herald definitely caught my attention. Don’t get me wrong, I love the festive season and everything that goes with it, but when given the opportunity for something a tad different I’ll grab it with both hands. It’s that time of year when we’re bombarded with Hallmark movies and saccharin sentiments of goodwill. ![]() |
