Shadow Of The Moon

Rachel Hawthorne's series was an easy read that kept you turning pages. I did not want to put the book down. Not complicated but filled with heart felt moments, witty humor, and some thrills. The down side is that the story line was predictable (but fun to read). I would recommend this to ages 12 to adults. 

I think Hawthorne left room for another book or perhaps another spin off series (doing so with out leaving a huge cliff hanger which for a "last" book is just want i like to see) 

Happy reading 

Resident Evil 6

  I played the demo of Resident Evil 6 and I must say the makers have redeemed themselves with this new installment. While Resident Evil 5 was in my eyes an epic fail that I did not even see through to the end because of how far from the zombie filled wonderland they strayed. 
I loved the different playing fields and the different types of mutated creatures that the horrible virus' unleashed in this installment. 

At the start of the game you have a choice to play as Chris, Leon, or Jake with in these 3 you can choose to play as that main character or a partner character. You can think of this selection as a "what version of the game you want to play." I have to say that i enjoyed the boards I played with the characters (or sub-characters) Leon and Jake. 
Leon you are on a campus (college campus) that looks a lot like the police station and one of the houses from prior games combined. The bad guy of choice in this stage is the classic Zombies we have come to love with the Resident Evil games.
Jake This seems to be a city game arena where there are not only zombie like creature like in the 4th Resident Evil there are also so many interesting mutations that come from that species. 
Chris This is a board where there are mutated people with guns and a big hate on for the military people rolling into town. I saw one boss while playing this board and it was awesome...it did not disappoint. While i am not one for liking war type games this board held less of my interest though it was still compelling to play. 
Way to go Resident Evil 6 Makers I can't wait to play the full version. Due out October 2 2012
