I use my phone for making phone calls and as an alarm clock, but Steven Soderbergh has started using his to make feature films, which if you ask me is just showing off. Unsane is just such a movie, a typically polished piece of genre entertainment. Slightly damaged young woman seeks psychiatric support, finds herself incarcerated in a mental institution against her will. Is she hallucinating the presence of her former stalker, or are things even worse than they seem...?

Apart from Soderbergh's usual breezy skill as a film-maker, the best reason to see Unsane is Claire Foy's excellent performance, which really carries the whole movie (though she is well-supported by Amy Irving, Juno Temple and others, and there's a great cameo from Matt Damon too). The opening sequence of the film is also impressive in its finely-judged ambiguity. However, the film tips its hand much too soon and quickly becomes monumentally implausible (to the point of absolute absurdity). Worth watching, but you really, really have to cut the film some slack in the plotting department.

MY MASKED SHIELD is the fourth book in the Beautiful Stalkers series, finishing with Basia, whom we've met in previous books. She's got a stalker, and not the good kind, but more the sending body parts through the post kind. Along comes Caleb, ex Green Beret, here to save the day. It's not the daytime when you need to keep an eye on him, though...

There's something here for everyone, if BDSM and somno is your cup of tea! Caleb didn't stalk Basia, as the others did their women, but I guess that's because she already had one. Instead, they both get their rocks off in a different way.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, especially the way it brought all four men together. It leaves a new series wide open, while finishing this one off nicely. It wasn't my favourite of the series, but I still definitely recommend it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
