Rose is in turmoil and feels that she is lost. What made her choose an abusive man instead of the sweet young pastor that has a fondness for her? She is now in therapy and is trying to re-establish a relationship with her father, which was lost when she chose the master manipulator.

Can the kindness of a young preacher and the help of the Planted bible group bring Rose out of the darkness and fear in her life? Can she find the strength to survive and allow these good people and God’s love into her life?

This is the last book in the Christian suspense series, Planted Flowers. As with the other books in the Planted series, this is more than just a book of mystery and romance. The underlining story has to do with finding faith, strength, understanding, and support while gaining a deeper relationship with God and his teachings.

Oh my god this movie was soo good. The thrills, the suspense, the chills, the mystery, John Cho was phenomenal, his acting was phenomenal. I like how it mostly all toke place on the computer. That you follow his investiagtion to find his own daugther though his and her computer. This movie reminded me of Unfriended, how that movie toke place all on skype, but this movie is 10x better than Unfriended.

The Plot: David Kim becomes desperate when his 16-year-old daughter, Margot, disappears and an immediate police investigation leads nowhere. He soon decides to search the one place that no one else has: Margot's laptop. Hoping to trace her digital footprints, David contacts her friends and looks at photos and videos for any possible clues to her whereabouts.

If you havent seen this film, than go and watch it, cause it is a must see film.
  
Justified Means (The Agency Files, #1)

Have you ever been hooked on a book by the first page?

I was with this book by Chautona Havig. Justified Means was based off the question, what if a company had to kidnap a person to keep them safe without letting them know? Chautona Havig does a fantastic job with this book and answering that question. I loved the action packed chapters, the realistic attitudes of the characters, and the faith based foundation of this book. I loved the characters in Justified Means. They were well crafted, great arcs in their dialogue, and I LOVED how Chautona Havig weaved in the story of redemption. Plus, the overall story and mystery/ suspense was compelling and really fun to read.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and I am sooo looking forward to reading the next book in the Agency series.

*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honestfeed back. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

If you enjoy an extremely slow brewed drama then great, this is for you.

Government conspiracies, and 'old school' espionage never looked so dull to me though! This film didn't require action and bullets flying but a little more suspense and mystery wouldn't have hurt.

I can't say a lot happens in this film, but I am sure there is an audience that will get behind the intrigue, and the discussions that this films brings up. It is a thoughtful and intelligent piece, with a painfully A-List British cast (apologies to those that aren't, and sorry for generalising) giving some outstanding performances.

An excellent film for those that enjoy this style but unfortunately not for me.


There are two sequels that follow some of the same characters, if you did enjoy this then look out for:
Turks and Caicos
Salting the Battlefield


From what I have heard they are marginally better.

Hamnet, about a son of a playwright, a twin of a sister, a saviour of a twin. This novel is beautifully written and pulls at the heartstrings. The writing creates atmosphere and suspense. It is well researched. I particularly like the chapter about the journey of the flea, not completely necessary but definitely added to the narrative. I know that this was a particularly good book as now o want to read Hamlet to see of there are any clues into Hamnet's life, or death, or Shakespeare's grief over the loss of his son. I was captured and engrossed from the beginning. I loved the mystery surrounding Agnes, however I feel that her character would have been more of a support of grief rather than to succumb to it. Definitely the best historic fiction that I've read this year. "To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub,
For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.."
