Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Hidden Fire (Elemental Mysteries #1) in Books

Apr 13, 2020

A phone call from an old friend sets Dr. Giovanni Vecchio back on the path of a mysterious manuscript he's hunted for over five hundred years. He never expected a young student librarian could be the key to unlock its secrets, nor could he have predicted the danger she would attract.

Now he and Beatrice De Novo follow a twisted maze that leads from the archives of a university library, though the fires of Renaissance Florence, and toward a confrontation hundreds of years in the making.

I really enjoyed reading this! Loved the discovery of witches vibe I got. The characters are brilliant I loved them all.it flowed easy enough and I didn't want to put it down. Look forward to book 2.

F***ed-Up Action Thriller of the Highest Caliber

I checked this out from the library because someone told me that it's Josh Brolin's finest performance, and that might actually be true. It's a brutal film, not just the action scenes but emotionally as well, and it's likely to surprise you. But here's the thing: you get to the end of the movie and all you can think is, "Damn! Now THAT'S f***ed up..." And I don't even swear, typically! I'm not sorry I saw it. But I don't think I'll be seeing it again.
