I’m amazed that they found actors who were so awful they almost made Lindsay Lohan look good(ish). Then again, what should I expect from a direct to video on demand release? However, the tactics of bad acting didn’t make her appear any better, making the fact that she can’t act more prominent. At least her role was minimal. What’s with the dirty lens filter? That’s just weird and out of place. They don’t transform like other werewolves I’ve seen, which I guess is alright, but I couldn’t tell the difference between vampire and wolf. Detective Kristy Wolfe is a vampire, isn’t she? Wait. What? She’s a werewolf, too? I guess I should’ve known that based on her last name. This film is so low budget that they couldn’t afford to run to Party City for a few werewolf masks. Seriously, had they not said they were werewolves, I would’ve continued to think they were vampires. I cannot express the horror I felt watching Among the Shadows, and not because it was scary. This has to be the worst movie I’ve ever tortured myself with, and it gives me great pleasure to give this movie 0 out of 5 Stars.

The One Enlightened (Chronicles of the Diasodz Book 2) continues where The One Discovered left off with a little glimpse of the ending (thank the Goddess because it’s been a while since I read it). The story follows Sofia who is learning about being a Diasodz and her power. This chapter in the Diasodz series isn’t as exciting as the first, but when it comes it is exceptional. Much of this book is about self-awareness and romance, which are integral elements to this story. Each page paints a beautiful picture of this world down and I felt like I had been transported there and can clearly see each detail through Sofia’s eyes. I enjoyed The One Enlightened very much and you need to grab a copy if you haven’t already. Keep in mind though, if you haven’t read the first, you might be a little lost.
