Absolutely incredible
Set in war-torn France during the height of WWII, this novel follows a pair of sisters as they fight back against the Nazi invasion. Beautifully written, this haunting tale shows just how far people will go for the ones they love.
  
The Pelican Brief (1993)
The Pelican Brief (1993)
1993 | Drama, Mystery
A very good political conspiracy thriller with an outstanding cast. Based on the John Grisham novel. This is a entertaining film with a deep plot, it can be a little slow at times and light on action but overall an enjoyable well made film.
  
Combining artworks and short storytelling, this graphic novel gives an interesting account of the New York experience over the last several decades. While some moments are especially engaging, there are a few too many that fall flat to make this more than passingly entertaining.

I loved this novel. It was nicely paced, and the setting was so perfect for this. I did read up on conversion, and it does happen, which made it slightly creepier. At the end, you're left with the question, was there magic involved after all?

Zoje Stage | 2018 | Fiction & Poetry, Thriller
Amazing! What makes this novel so terrifying is the simplicity and inevitability with which the events unfold. What would truly happen if you found yourself in a situation where you can’t escape the threat? This was a creepy, suspenseful page turner of the best kind!

I was really apprehensive about reading this graphic novel as I have heard mixed things. The artwork is beautiful consisting of black, white, blue and red. The stories could have been better, they were definitely creepy and unique but just didn't leave me satisfied

As I've come to expect from Mosse, a slow start to this book was worth persevering with. Once the story was established it was enjoyable, if not slightly rushed at the end. The Cathar history is rich and intriguing, an educational, yet touching novel.
  
The final four Hornblower novels in this collection, comprising:

Flying Colours
The Commodore
Lord Hornblower
Hornblower in the West Indies

Nice way to round out the whole series (itself consisting of 3 multi-novel books: "The Young Hornblower", "Captain Hornblower, R.N", and now this)
