When a serial killer targets Daisy Dawson, he doesn't expect her to fight back. But she does, and she manages to grab the locket he wears around his neck during the struggle. This locket connects to a cult that Agent Gideon Reynolds of the FBI escaped when he was only 13 years old. He is driven to find that cult and expose them, saving the women and children from their psychotic leader's tyranny. This serial killer is Gideon's one tangible connection to the cult. He's assigned to Daisy to protect her from the killer and hopefully draw him out. Daisy and Gideon have undeniable chemistry, and Gideon quickly realizes that Daisy isn't as helpless as he thought she was...

Karen Rose is one of my favorite authors and I just loved this book like all her others!
I just enjoyed this book so much. The author once again has outdone herself on creating a new set of characters and bringing in a couple of old favorites.
Gideon and Daisy are great together and I just love the chemistry and humor that they have with each other.
The twist and turns are just perfect and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat! Once I started this I could not put it down at all. If you have never read a Karen Rose novel now is the perfect time to do so.
I truly can't wait for the continuation of this series!
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Thank you to Netgalley, Headline and author Karen Rose for sending me the digital ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Ready for the scrap heap

I finally got round to seeing this, knowing it wasn't going to be that good. I was surprised that quite a few cast members of the first two were still in it. Sadly no Paul Weller as Robocop and it shows! The story, acting, SFX all of it was pretty rubbish compared to the cult status of the first one. It's been dumbed down quite a bit too and not as violent as the first two either. One to avoid.

Classic Action Film

I have finally got round to seeing this and watched the extended version. This is a great film about the relationship between a Hitman and a 12 year old girl left orphaned after her family is killed. It is violent without being too graphic or brutal. This is nothing like your typical action, assassin film and has some great scenes between the two lead characters. A little strange but a classic and I'm not surprised it has reached a cult status.

Slow to get going (0 more)

The first hour of this almost made me want to turn it off, I actually paused it to see how far I was into the movie... Around five minutes later, it seemed to finally start picking up. At first, you think it's a crazy, run of the mill religious cult, but then it's so much more and kind of messed up.
If the first hour had been edited down a little, I would have definitely rated it higher.

I was amazed at this movie.
The story was just ok
The acting was great
Action was great
But what go me to liking this movie was the style. The technical side is what got me. Camera shot were great. Shooting this as a movie from the 70s great. They even brought in the beginning credits like movies prior to the 80s. If it was not for how clean cut the shots were i would have thought this was a cult classic from the 70s.
