After a high tension, emotionally draining two-part premiere, Castle returns with a by-the-books episode about a washed up sitcom actor found hanging from a crane hook.

I highly recommend Cake to fans of contemporary fiction, romance, and lovers of strong, independent women. You won’t be disappointed with this read.

The Bitter End. Retrospective: The White Queen “Long Live the King”

“Only fools wait to see if their enemies might be friends.” – Elizabeth
As the The White Queen nears its end, I can’t help but feel nostalgic for the characters we have grown to love and love to hate over the past few months. This week’s episode serves as a game changer and darker time, chronicling one of England’s most notorious royal figures: Richard III (Aneurin Barnard).

Wicked and Enchanting. Retrospective: Witches of East End – “Pilot”

October marks a spooky season full of monsters and all things that go bump in the night. So, what better way to begin the month than with Lifetime’s brand new fall series, Witches of East End. Based on Melissa de la Cruz‘s popular book series of the same name, the story centers on the Beauchamps—a family of witches whose magical legacy is ripe with curses, murder, and mystery.

Leap of Faith. Retrospective: Haven – “Lost and Found”

From beginning to end, “Lost and Found” is riveting. You sit on the edge of your seat waiting with bated breath for what is coming next. From creepy children stealing kids from their homes, to mediation with a very muscular Duke (Eric Balfour), and Lexie (Emily Rose) finally realizing all is not what it seems, “Lost and Found” starts and ends with suspense.

Not What You’re Expecting. Review: The Originals – “Always and Forever”

All in all, “Always and Forever” is a solid premiere. It piques the interest and delights the senses with all those vampires running rampant through the French Quarter. The music adds to the Gothic feel of the town being overrun with witches and creatures of the night.

Silas Unleashed. Review: The Vampire Diaries “I Know What You Did Last Summer”

“I Know What You Did Last Summer” was an OK premiere. I’d love for there to have been more of a delay in Silas’ reveal than there was. I mean, wasn’t that supposed to be the crux of the season?

Book Review: “The Lies We Tell” by Elizabeth Dunk

I’d say skip The Lies We Tell if you have an overwhelming fear of whiplash when reading plot points.

Nightmare Monsters. Retrospective: Sleepy Hollow – “For the Triumph of Evil”

The plot thickens as this week’s episode, “For the Triumph of Evil,” starts to delve into the darker side of Ichabod (Tom Mison) and Abbie’s (Nicole Beharie) unusual alliance. To call this a friendship isn’t quite true…yet. This unlikely duo are still exploring the nuances of working together on something much grander and frightening than they could imagine and what they must face in this episode is nothing short of terrifying.

Hands Off To A Proxy Vote. Retrospective: Sons of Anarchy – “Wolfsangel”

In spite of its darkness, I found “Wolfsangel” to be a breath of fresh air. It was reminiscent of the season one episodes that helped Sons amass a huge following. To be specific, it was like old-school Sons of Anarchy in which the crew gets into a jam and by the end of the episode there’s a level of payback for the audience.

Conference Call: James Spader talks about “The Blacklist” and “The Avengers”

On September 29, 2013, I had the opportunity to participate in a conference call with the Emmy® award winning actor, James Spader, star of NBC’s new series, The Blacklist.

Blood. Meth. Tears. Reflection: Breaking Bad – “Felina”

Breaking Bad was almost the series that never happened. While pitching the show to the studios, creator Vince Gilligan learned about a show called Weeds, a little story about a pot-selling mom.Gilligan would later say in published interviews that had he known about Weeds sooner, he would have dropped the idea of Breaking Bad completely due to the similarity of themes. Not only that but Bryan Cranston, Gilligan’s choice to play Walter White, did not go over well with the studio people who only knew him as Hal, the zany dad from Malcolm in the Middle.

That’s What Partners Do. Recap: Castle – “Dreamworld”

Previously on Castle, we were blindsided by a surprise two-part episode that threatened Rick Castle’s (Nathan Fillion) life due to a deadly toxin leaving him less than one day to live. In ”Dreamworld,” we really see the emotional anxieties Castle’s loved ones go through, especially the toll it takes on Beckett (Stana Katic). Overall, I thought “Dreamworld” was handled very nicely.
