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.

I loved the writing style and the phrases/literature that was used within this book. The suspense was amazing and just the right amount. (0 more)
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’
