I did not enjoy the book as much as her other ones. I love Hahn’s ghost stories and those that deal with the paranormal (Look For Me By Moonlight). This novel was more thriller/suspense than her usual horror.

All always the people Hahn creates have such character and her story is flawless. That being said, it just was not my genre. There was no trace of the paranormal and fantasy in this book, and it left me wanting. It was also predictable. Hahn writes for a much younger generation, but yet, so all her novels are predictable.

I cannot give this book a low rating because there was genuinely nothing wrong with it. It simply was not my cup of tea.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving
The Game- is a excellent mystery drama thriller. The suspense, the mystery, the twist. David Fincher did a excellent job. Micheal Douglas and Sean Penn also did a excellent job.

The plot: Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) is a successful banker who keeps mostly to himself. When his estranged brother Conrad (Sean Penn) returns on his birthday with an odd gift -- participation in a personalized, real-life game -- Nicholas reluctantly accepts. Initially harmless, the game grows increasingly personal, and Orton begins to fear for his life as he eludes agents from the mysterious game's organizers. With no one left to trust and his money gone, Orton must find answers for himself.

Its a excellent film and a must see.

The Wolves Are Among Them
The Grey- is a excellent survival drama thriller. I love survival/survive of the fitnest films. Liam Neeson does a excellent job in this. The drama, the suspense, tbe thrills are are excellent.

The plot: Following a grueling five-week shift at an Alaskan oil refinery, workers led by sharpshooter John Ottway (Liam Neeson) are flying home for a much-needed vacation. A brutal storm causes their plane to crash in the frozen wilderness, and only eight men (Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney), including Ottway, survive. As they trek southward toward civilization and safety, Ottway and his companions must battle mortal injuries, the icy elements, and a pack of hungry wolves.

I highly recordmend watching this film.

Oh my, what a ride!


Full of action, suspense and twists The Anchor is pretty awesome. It's a must read thriller that will keep you guessing all the way through. I was stuck between being adamant that I knew who was behind things to not having a clue.
    I do think there could have been a few extra details added to make things 100% neatly packaged but it's also fun having a bit of food for thought.
    This one definitely had me getting lost in the pages, which I love doing, especially when I escape housework!
    Grab snacks, drinks and a comfortable spot and enjoy. Just make sure to tell your friends about it and get them over to discuss it and theories as you read it.
