SVU Thriller Edition Kiss of the Vampire

Scary Banister! Yeah but I didn't have anything else to say......
So Elizabeth and Tom have entered a contest to stay with and write an article for the famous journalist Nicolas Des Perdu, and conveniently right now is when they are opening the envelopes to see who won. Shock! It's Tom. Yes Elizabeth did not win. Seriously. Squee.  So Liz takes Tom to the airport a few days later and yeah.  Meanwhile Jessica is trying to get this room in the theta house but head jerkface Alison Quinn wants it but Jessica gives it up after Alison almost gets murdered there by a stranger(Nicolas Des Perdu).  Tom has an unpleasant trip because the maid tries to sleep with him basically, and Nicolas freaks out when he see Elizabeth's picture and has a flash back(basically he's from back in the day and he had a young wife who looked just like Elizabeth and he went off to wore and someone told them that he died and she killed herself but it was a mistake and he was still alive, he got depressed and a sexy vampire turned him into a vampire). and he comes back. After Tom is back for a few days Nicolas shows up when Elizabeth is working at the tv station to talk about Tom and how Nicolas wants to give him this surprise award and how Elizabeth cant tell him because it's a surprise. Uh yeah ok. So they hang out a ton and basically start dating. It's creepy. Elizabeth starts sleepwalking and stuff so everyone is worried about her. Tom thinks he sees Nicolas in Sweet Valley and soon enough he realizes that Nicolas is there and that he is a vampire. But Nicolas has already convinced Elizabeth to go with him home to New Orleans. Tom and Jessica get there a day later and save him from turning her into a vampire but he gets away. Elizabeth is ok and all is well.

SVH Thriller Murder in Paradise Mini recap

Why is Lila pointing at her boob? Anyway moving on, Enid thinks George is going to leave her for someone prettier and so she has developed body image issues. I blame the media blamers, and the Wakefield twins. So the twins and their mom, Lila and Grace(her mom), and Enid(without mom) are all on a spa trip that Alice won in a random contest from the phonebook. Suspicious. Anyway Enids mom is soo busy with her job or whatever that she can't go because she is busy. Enid gets all sad. They get to the spa and meet the weird owner that Alice thinks she knows from somewhere but can't figure it out. Foreshadowing much? The weird lady owner person shes she had a special hair treatment for redheads that she can give Enid. She goes with her and she gets all creepy and basically starts brainwashing her into thinking she is ugly. Later she has a special treatment for freakles, she basically just keeps brainwashing her and getting her into hating the twins and other beautiful people. Elizabeth meets a girl that works there and learns that she ran away from home and that the employees just work there for room and board and arn't allowed to leave without permission. Ned EMAILS Elizabeth that he remembers the creepy owner as a girl at SVU when they went there who was teased beause she was ugly and was a science major who was in a experiment accident and got acid on her face. Basically she is bitter and out to get Alice. Elizabeth goes to find her but she has been kidnapped by the evil owner lady and they have to go find her in a secret lab building. They get there and evil lab lady has brainwashed Enid into helping her STEAL ALICE'S FACE. I'm serious. She is trying to transplant Alice's face onto hers. Really. Anyways Enid folds and helps Elizabeth save Alice. Everyone learns a lession about true beauty. Haha just kidding.  The end.


Side notes:
Jessica falls in love for the 137th time
Elizabeth cheats on Todd also for the 137th time
It's funny how Enid is so ugly because of her red hair but tons of women dye there hair red

Thriller Edition like three or something...Running for her life

I return......

 

I'm sorry but Elizabeth looks like shes gonna throw up....this should be good.

So Elizabeth and Tom are at the movies and they helpfully tell us all about Julia Reynolds and Matt Barron......yeah that does not sound familiar right?!? Anyways they are getting married next week and when they are on the set and she has to do a scene where she jumps from a window onto a blow up mattress thing. But something has to happen so she jumps before it's ready and dies. We get all these stupid scenes from the hitmans point of view. Jessica is devastated about Julias death. It's weird to me how obsessed she gets about it but people do get that way. Anyways she is talking to Elizabeth about how she knows it wasn't a suicide, I would normally call shenanigans but we heard it from the hitman so whatev, anyways Elizabeth comes up with this stupid theory about how its all a big lie and basically lucks out with knowing EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, WITHOUT BEING THERE. HOW FREAKING CONVENIENT. Lame sauce. So she uses it for a paper for school and the teacher likes it and has a friend at a magazine and convenient stuff so they want to publish it. Elizabeth goes to see her and on her way in she see a package left outside her door and so she brings it in. Suprize it's a freaking bomb. The teacher dies but Elizabeth is just freaking fine. Elizabeth is all sad and at the police office she tells the officer about her paper and says she thinks the teacher was killed for it. The cop seriously laughs at  her. Jerkface! I don't like her either but at least I just put mean stuff about her on the internets and not say it to her face! HA! As you maaayyyy or may not have noticed.......I've had some sugar. Anyways then the chick from the magazine that was going to publish Elizabeth's paper gets shot and killed. We already know that the hitman is the one who killed her. The hitman is ordered to kill Elizabeth and instead he almost kills Jess so they go on the run from him. Wait could they/she be Running for her life? Yeah I went they and they actually said the title in the book too...........So that's why I have to be Superman 4: the quest for peace, Family guy for the win. Anyway Matt Baron teams up with them to catch this guy and they find out that the next target is going to be this girl who left the film company for another one. Seriously thats why he's killing them all, because they left for a rival company. Okay then, Jess gets a job as an extra on the set and is out to warn her but the girl gets Jess thrown off the set because she is too pretty and will upstage her. Seriously. So she doesn't get to warn her. Later she gets killed. Lame. The next one is supposed to be a actor when he is accepting his reward at an event. Lame they save him and the guy gets caught. Matt has fallen in love with Jess even though his fiance died like a week ago.........I don't really like him. He decides to quit acting and like travel or whatev. Now how lame was that?!? Glad to be back SVU

SVU #21 For the Love of Ryan

A very summery book! This book is 90% filler so.... yeah just a warning. So the book opens with a helpful telling of what you can figure out from the cover. The twins are suddenly lifeguards and there is a new character named Ryan. Ok now that we are all up to speed. lol. We also learn that Winston and Nina are also lifeguards and they are all sharing a beach house. So basically the 'main plot' aka 'the most boring plot ever' is that the is rival lifeguard squads. Yeah you read that right. There isnt really any wacky hijinks they just hate each other. The next day everyone goes down to the beach for training for tryouts, yes all these people rented an expensive beach house and stuff without even knowing if they have the job. But this is Sweet Valley. Here we meet Ryan. Ryan is hot..... and insufferable. Elizabeth keeps screwing up and Ryan freaks out on her and everyone makes a big deal out of it. I would like to see Elizabeth work retail. Winston isnt the best swimmer and he might not make the squad and if he doesnt he wont be able to make his share of the rent. He sets up a tour of famous peoples houses and makes most of his share. But some of the people on the tour ruin someones lawn so the cops shut down his tour thing. Wow that sounded stupid. Jessica does a whole bunch of stupid stuff to get Ryan to like her, but he is sooo torchered and emo he just cant get too attached. Whiny loser. Another loser Ben likes Jessica and they hang out and stuff even thought she hates him and is really really mean to him.

Exciting update!

Sweet Valley Twins Super Chiller #6 The Curse of the Golden Heart

I think I might have to stop being so lazy and start scanning covers myself. I apologize for rebelling against my overachieving upbringing by being so lazy. Side note, I know this is another random recap but it's not like I lost this book before I got the chance to recap it or anything. I found it now though so everything is good.

We open with everyone chilling at the beach and poisoning their bodies with junk food. The twins leave their friends to chill and sun bathe while they go off to snorkel. Yeah the cover sorta happens. Except on the cover they are scuba diving and Jessica is not there when this happens and you can't tell what it is because it's covered in barnacles. But I digress. Made of win ghostwriters/artists. They go to a shady part of the beach because they haven't dived their before and it's a dive. Lol. Lame jokes aside they dive and Elizabeth finds some stuff and among the stuff is; an old ceramic cup handle. a antique fishing rod handle, and a chain with something on it encrusted with barnacles. Wow like what could it be? Elizabeth sees a shipwreck. Admittedly bad ass. So then there is a riptide or some convenient crap and Elizabeth gets cranky that Jessica wandered away from her when they were diving. They get to the pier and they see a newly invented neighbor a neighbor that they totally always had. Could this plot contrivance be important later? I freaking think so. They agree not to tell their friends about the shipwreck. They go back and brag about going to the seedy pier. Steven and Joe have a flyer that advertises scuba lessons. All their parents agree to let them take lessons and rent scuba equipment. Except Lila whose father is going out of town for a few weeks so he buys her all of the stuff she needs including a purple wetsuit.

The next day the twins each get a spooky chain letter about how something needs to be returned to Carlotta (the writer of the letter). Like what? Oh yeah never mind.  So Jessica decides to send her letters out and Elizabeth decides not to. Jessica decides to send them to members of the Unicorn Club, because that's how you keep lifelong friends folks. Lila decides not to send hers out because her dad's secretary is on vacation. This will be important later but don't stress, the book reminds you like a thousand times. She sends them to Steven and Joe. Score! I'm sorry you will have to excuse me I'm a younger sibling so I'm all for revenge on older siblings, no matter how lame the revenge may be.

That night Elizabeth has a dream about Carlotta and her lover on the sinking ship. It's all sad and stuffs. Jessica is really sweet and wakes Elizabeth up from her nightmare. She is all creeped out by her nightmare and being in the dark and all. It's sad.

The next morning everyone is at the beach waiting for Joshua, he is late and everyone is getting impatient. So Elizabeth goes to the seedy pier to look for him at his shop BY HERSELF. I had to get through about thirty pages of how bad that pier is. So why is she wandering off by herself? Why do I continuously question this stuff? How many licks does it take to get to the middle of a tootsie pop? These and more next time on Sweet Valley Twins. I mean nothing. Anyways she goes over to the shack and knocks, no one answers so she goes over to the window and sees someone in a scuba suit with their back turned to her, she assumes it's Joshua goes inside. She taps him on the shoulder and he turns around, but theres no face in the mask, then it goes limp and falls on the floor. She is about to totally freak out when Joshua shows up at the door and asks if the group is ready

Next Jessica and Lila are chilling at Lila's house and Lila has quiet the run of bad luck, she breaks a nail really low where its still alive and all ouchy, she gets ink in her eye, she trips on her nightgown and rips it and falls on her face. She finally decides to send out the chain letters but doesn't want to write them so she decides to print them off the computer.  They mess it up and Lila gets in trouble because it emails the letter to EVERYONE involved with Fowler Enterprises or whatever. They make the computer with it's "electronic mail" sound very sci fy. Anyways now Lila is convinced that she is cursed. So she just writes out the letter and doesn't have any more bad luck. Yay the end! No wait theres other people besides Lila. Darn.

The next day they are all scuba diving and Elizabeth wants to go to shore so she goes to tell Joshua this and she again sees that he doesn't have a face. She screams and blacks out. Shes ok though and her parents take her home.  Lila comes over and trys to get Elizabeth to send out the letter but she won't. Elizabeth gets another letter and shes really starting to freak out. She accuses Steven and Jessica but remains unconvinced. That night Elizabeth has another dream and it seems that the watch person on the ship was slacking off and went to go do something and the ship crashed into a boulder or whatever. On a side note the word spooky is in this book like a million times. Grr.

Elizabeth and Steven are a little on the outs because of the whole Elizabeth freaking out and accusing Steven of sending the letters, but the writer makes Steven look like the bad guy. He didn't actually do anything though but ok, why am I complaining he's not my favorite.  Lila comes over and tells Elizabeth she should "audio mail" her letters by reading them on to tapes and mailing them. Lol. She gets the tape deck ready while Elizabeth unwraps the tape. They try to record but the tape screeches out "curse of Carlotta". Elizabeth is full convinced that Lila rigged the tape but then she remembers that she unwrapped it. She is all scared and mad so she smashes the tape with her foot and runs off to her room.

The next day they are all at the beach and Joshua is late so Joe goes to his shack to see if he is there. Theres a note on the door that something came up and he wont be there until after two and to meet him at the regular spot then. They all decide to have lunch early on the beach. Janet forgot her lunch so they all give her something from their lunches, Elizabeth gives her a sandwich and as she starts to unwrap it Steven freaks out and swats her arm and tells them all to jump back. They all see it was a scorpion on Janet's arm and it came from the wrapper on Elizabeth's sandwich. They decide it must have crawled in there because it was on it's side. Joshua finally gets there a little bit later and they all get ready to go scuba diving and Elizabeth is scared because the noise the wind is making is freaking her out so without saying anything she takes off running and Jessica runs after her but Elizabeth got a head start and Jessica misses the bus Elizabeth got on. Later when Jessica finally gets home Elizabeth tells her about the faceless Joshua. Jessica thinks she was hallucinating.  Suddenly the doorbell rings and it's a guy named John Filber, he works for a company associated with Fowler Enterprises so he got a copy of the chain letter and wants to meet them at the pier the next day to talk about the chain letter. Stupidly they agree.

The next day they go to meet him at the pier and he shows them something shiny in the water and says that his dad showed it to him and his dad showed it to him and so on, and that it has something to do with his family and that hes not supposed to go after it, because apparently anyone in his family who goes after it will be "cursed by Carlotta" . He creeps me out.

The next day the kiddos are having a beach bonfire and for whatever reason Joshua is there and he conveniently tells the story about Carlotta and Red Beard. They were in love and the guy who was supposed to be on the lookout was slacking and screwed it up for the lovebirds:(  What a jerkface.  It's also conveniently mentioned that they had a family locket that they took apart and they each wore half around there necks, and on the back of the locket is a map to some awesome treasure or whatever. Elizabeth goes to the library and as she is leaving is scared by Steven who is following her for her protection(I could be wrong but when your guarding someone you should probably tell them)he lets her know that John Filber has been following her.

Elizabeth gets another letter from Carlotta and it basically says not to be scared and that if she reunites the two pieces she will get a great treasure or whatever. Elizabeth finally figures out that under the barnacles she found it's half of the heart. Some detective.

So they go to the pier and get the shiny thing that we all know is the other half of the heart.  They get it out and John Filber shows up to steal it for the treasure map. It slips out of Elizabeth's hands in the struggle and it drops in the ocean and they run away. All is at peace now and what not. But there is no real resolution. Joshua is gone and maybe he was a ghost maybe not.

On a side note it's mentioned that Mr. Wakefield picked the kids up in the "family van"?? Since when do they have a van? I don't know maybe I'm just making stuff up and they always had a van.
