I had the opportunity to read a book in a different genre than I usually do (I read cozy mysteries). The first part of the book was romance and suspense with a good plot and an unexpected twist of who done it and why. I was drawn to the characters and hoped that my favorite wasn't going to turn out to be the murderer. I thought the book was complete (at about 70% on my Kindle) and then the story took a turn. I don't want to spoil anything for the reader, but it was a big surprise as to what happens and how our couple survives the plot twist. I have to admit that I enjoyed the first part of the book more than the last half, but all in all, it was a good book for those who enjoy mystery, romance, suspense, and a bit of supernatural.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This book was fast-paced, full of tension and suspense and I just could not put it down!
Oh so good but can I just start by saying MAJOR CLIFFHANGER!? Another fabulous, yet totally different read from Lisa Renee Jones!! This story follows FBI Profiler, Lilah Love, a tough, cold, foul-mouthed agent who is perfectly capable of taking care of herself and lets everyone know it. Having grown up in the rich Hampton's lifestyle (something she tries desperately to forget), she suddenly finds herself back in the Hampton's on a case and a growing list of questions about those closest to her. This leads her not only back to the family drama she left behind and that of the Hampton's elite, but her ex, Kane and one very large secret shared between them.

This book was fast-paced, full of tension and suspense and I just could not put it down! Highly, highly recommended!

Suspense
I would rate this book up there alongside 'And then there were none', as one of the best Christie book I've read. The storyline was the classic who-dun-it you would expect from the Author but where a couple of the other books in the stand alone, or Marple Catalogue can fall short towards the end and leave you feeling a little dissatisfied, this shines. It makes it into many '100 best books' or 'books to read before you die' lists and quite rightly so.
If you enjoy the crime/suspense genre and maybe coming to Christie fresh faced and wanting the best she has to offer, then I would recommend this as a great start. It might not be the first in the Poirot collection but you can get away with reading out of order. I'm jealous of everyone coming to this without knowing the plot and who gets to relish the twists and turns that come.

Whatever It Takes
Man on Fire- is a excellent action thriller, that I have seen about 5-7 times. Its a really great movie, not sure why critics didnt like this movie. Cause Denzel is excellent, Dakota is excellent. The action, suspense and drama is excellent. Its only downfall is its slow for the 1st half, than picks up during the 2nd half.

The plot: In a Mexico City wracked by a recent wave of kidnappings, ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) reluctantly accepts a job as a bodyguard for 9-year-old Lupita (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of wealthy businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony). Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman (Jesús Ochoa) kidnaps her. Now, Creasy must pick off a succession of corrupt cops and criminals to reach his ultimate object of vengeance.

Its a vengeanful film. Packed with action, suspense and drama.

Chilling
It’s atmosphere that the author created was amazing and really drawled you in! The characters and animals had real personality and made you really connect with the book! I think that this was one of the most beautiful books I have read in a long time. Made me very ‘Toasty’

Perfect Slow Burn Suspense Novel
I'm not usually into slow burns that dont have any big reveals, but I really enjoyed this one. The characters were mostly pretty unlikeable but very interesting. I thought it had a very oddly satisfying ending. To see more of my thoughts you can check out my youtube video-
