I’m usually a bit hesitant to stray from my favorite authors and this time was no different. However, I’m soo glad I did! You want action, mystery, romance, betrayal? It’s all here. The best part is that it’s all here without the usual angsty cliches normally found in books that are listed as YA. I’m not going to recap the book, you can read the cover yourself. Read the book, read the series, you won’t regret it!!

As always Aleatha had me sucked in right from page one. I LOVED the start to Knox & Charli's story in Betrayal and Cunning was just one step further into their world. Crazy twists and hidden plots.. this book was a roller coaster of events. The fact that they have finally opened up to each other, admitted what they had was real and then... we're left with another huge twist!? OMG.. killing me!? LOVE this story and CAN NOT WAIT for the next installment!!

"A lullaby for the Antichrist, Roman Polanski’s adaptation of Ira Levin’s diabolic best seller has Manhattanite Rosemary (Mia Farrow) slowly coming to believe that her husband (John Cassavetes), nosy neighbor (Ruth Gordon), and almost everyone else in their apartment building are conspiring against her . . . and that the child she is carrying is the prophesied spawn of Satan. The chanting and summoning are solemn yet absurd, but the sense of betrayal and a world turned against a lone woman makes this an enduring nightmare."

Entertaining
I finally watched it. It was exactly what I expected- lots of action, betrayal, wicked villains and an intense story with lots of impossible situations. While this wasn't the greatest movie in the world it was highly entertaining. Sly and Ahnold do well together. I may be a little biased having grown up on their action movies, but my opinion here stands. Not sure how this one has sequels but I'll probably check them out, too. Worth a watch!

After watching the 2nd I'd give it a miss, very poor compared to the first film. @Escape Plan 2: Hades (2018)

I really like this author, she always brings you a good story with amazing characters. This book definitely has the amazing characters with a very possessive male characters. This book kept me reading till the very last page and then I was left wanting more. This book has everything, betrayal, secrets, assassins and a billionaire. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended

Unexpected twist (0 more)
A bit slow at first (0 more)
This novel, which has fire as a central theme, is a slow burn (pun very much intended). At times it seemed to be infused with drudgery and despair, not only due to the depressing topics of domestic abuse and betrayal, but also because of the main characters’ inability to really understand their feelings and emotions. That being said, the climax does not disappoint as it brings about truths and twists long taken for granted since the first few pages.
