Book synopsis for Dead Teenager Movie by Cethan Leahy

In this YA slasher, a horror-obsessed girl joins a group of wealthy teens for a wild weekend in a remote house, only to discover that the local murder rumours may be far more real – and far closer – than she imagined.

She loved scary movies… until she had the starring role.

A spree of murders is haunting Cork city, leaving behind stories of ghost parties and dismembered janitors, of dead diner owners and folkloric entities.

Die-hard horror buff April ignores it all for one perfect weekend of debauchery with Carl and his group of rich, hot and dangerously irresistible friends.

Together, they head to the West Cork countryside for an unforgettable trip before college begins. But in a remote mountainside house with views to die for, the dream party turns into a nightmare. Because some stories don't stay stories. And someone, or something, inside the house wants more than fear. They want blood.

Books: First Lines Fridays 28th August 2026

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? 

• Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page 
• Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first 
• Finally… reveal the book!

Book synopsis for A Match Made in Ireland by Michele Brouder

Have you ever wanted to press the escape button on your life?

Ruth Davenport writes about romance and happily ever after. But not from experience. After a heartbreaking rejection, she decides a change of scenery is needed. On a whim, she thinks Ireland is the place to go to write her next book. But when she arrives, everything that can go wrong, does. In the middle of the night, she lands on the doorstep of an Irish pub in the middle of nowhere belonging to an enigmatic Irishman.

Sean Hughes needs a woman under his roof like he needs a hole in the head. His policy is to steer clear of all women in general. Besides, he’s too busy running a pub and getting his dream business up off the ground. He has no time to be helping pretty tourists. But he needs some quick cash and she needs accommodation and a driver.

A deal is struck that suits them both. As they spend more time together, they begin to see the other in a different light. Can they overcome their fears and take a chance on happiness?

Each book in the Escape to Ireland series is a standalone novel and can be read in any order.

Exploring the New Colosseo Metro C Station in Rome

Rome is famous for blending the ancient with the modern, but nothing illustrates that contrast quite like stepping into the newly opened Metro C station at Colosseo / Fori Imperiali.

I recently visited the new station with my sister-in-law and my niece. Since none of us had been since the extension officially opened, we were keen to see what all the fuss was about—and it certainly didn't disappoint.

Helpful Details for Travellers

A Tale of Two Lines: Old vs. New

If you’ve ever ridden Rome’s Metro B, you know it’s purely function over form—a bit gritty, dead simple, and properly stuck in the past. Stepping out of that old interchange and right into the slick, airy space of the new Metro C felt like walking straight through a portal into a totally different decade.

The sheer difference in scale and light made a massive impression on us. The architecture is grand, modern, and spacious, featuring an impressive, wide staircase that leads you down through the levels. It gives the entire hub a dramatic, futuristic feel before you even look at the tracks.

The Underground Museum Experience

What makes this stop truly special is that it isn't just a transit point—it’s essentially a curated archaeological museum.

During the decades-long excavation required to dig 32 metres beneath Via dei Fori Imperiali, workers uncovered dozens of ancient Republican-era wells, structural remains, and thousands of everyday artefacts. Instead of whisking everything away to distant display cases, Rome integrated these finds right into the station design.

The three of us spent a good chunk of time wandering past the floor-to-ceiling glass showcases embedded in the walls. Seeing ancient pottery, glassware, coins, and fragments of Roman daily life right beside the escalators isn't something you encounter in your typical metro station, and it made the visit feel like a genuine activity in itself.

Final Thoughts

Whether you are commuting or sightseeing, the new Colosseo Metro C stop is well worth pausing in. It seamlessly connects Rome's ancient past with its modern transport network, proving that even a quick ride on the tube can turn into a cultural experience.
