This is the second book I read by Kris Bryant. The first was [Jolt]. [Breakthrough] was another well written and well developed romance. I love how Kennedy is both self assured and incredibly akward. The easy banter between the two women as they become friends and more was spot on. I hope to read more books by Bryant.

Megan Miranda is an author where I'll read whatever she writes. The topic of this book is slightly bizarre, but it's a completely compelling and fascinating read. I read it in less than 24 hours, as it's very easy-to-read, and I totally fell for the characters. Kennedy and Nolan are united in grief--two kids who have been through so much for being so young.
This novel is creepy and often inexplicable, but the plot is really great. I was completely hooked. Kennedy and Nolan are tied together in interesting ways, and there's also a mystery-type story that unfolds as well. There are a couple of great twists that fully surprised me.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one. It's compelling and heartfelt, with strong characters and a sort of fun yet creepy undertone. 4 stars.

Hmm... I wasn't overly impressed with this one. Some of Josh's work, i really love and others i just don't gel with so well and this is the latter.
The investigation had me intrigued but i felt a little disappointed when i found out who was behind it. Nevertheless, i am a little inintrigued as to what might happen next between Kennedy and West.

Very poor
A really poor collection of 3 short horror stories. All looking very outdated and silly, the acting is terrible apart from George Kennedy in the first story. The 2nd and 3rd stories barely have a plot to mention. The animation inbetween is rather poor as well, should have stuck with Tom Savini in the mask, rather than the cartoon. There are much better horror anthologies out there!

Raw emotions and fabulous acting from Natalie Portman
This was pretty tragic, the inside story of the wife who has to witness her husband being assassinated in front of her eyes. This was about Jackie Kennedy, and the grief she felt following John F. Kennedy's death. Natalie Portman was once again magnificent, showing the raw emotion and confusion felt being a First Lady in mourning. And while there's not much else to the story, it's all about bereavement which is complex enough.

this is the first book I've read in this series, and I will be defiantly going to read the others. this book is fantastically written with amazing characters. this story is wrote from both the main characters views which makes a fab story flow. the author has a way of sucking you into the story and you don't let go till the last page. a fab story line with even better characters

Billie Wichkan (118 KP) rated From the Shadows in Books
May 22, 2019
A stunning, atmospheric police procedural set against the grit of Inverness and the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands, this is the first book in the DI Monica Kennedy series.
Sixteen-year-old Robert arrives home late. Without a word to his dad, he goes up to his bedroom. Robert is never seen alive again.
A body is soon found on the coast of the Scottish Highlands. Detective Inspector Monica Kennedy stands by the victim in this starkly beautiful and remote landscape. Instinct tells her the case wont begin and end with this one death.
Meanwhile, Inverness-based social worker Michael Bach is worried about one of his clients whose last correspondence was a single ambiguous text message; Nichol Morgan has been missing for seven days.
As Monica is faced with catching a murderer who has been meticulously watching and waiting, Michael keeps searching for Nichol, desperate to find him before the killer claims another victim.
From the Shadows is the first book in the Detective Inspector Monica Kennedy series by G R Halliday and it is a promising start to what will hopefully be one a successful and long running police procedural series.
The story is set in the Scottish Highlands and uses its' setting well to add atmosphere to the book.
I really enjoyed the story and the twists and turns of the plot.
It's quite a dark story but I liked that and wasn't sure who the killer was until close to the end.
I was thoroughly engrossed whilst reading the book and could not put it down.
Definitely recommended.

So, I'm not sure if I was supposed to by sympathetic towards Teddy Kennedy with everything surrounding this whole incident... But I'm not. It didn't change my thoughts on him at all. Dirtbag. Jason Clarke did well as Ted, and with the mannerisms and everything. I loved Ed Helms in this film. He was legitimately the only thing interesting.
I know they were billing this as the 'unknown story' and everything, maybe for people that know absolutely nothing about it.
The 5 is for Ed Helms alone.
