Wow
I loved it
Couldn't put it down.
This is the second book in the fatal dreams series and although you can read it as a standalone I would recommend reading the first one, race the darkness.
I enjoyed the way Abbie writes and although this is a romantic paranormal suspense it also has quite a few grisly crime scenes.
I would certainly recommend this book and I'll probably include it in a future monthly book box at www.andrelaxbookboxes.co.uk

The host, the premise, the topics (0 more)
I am a former emergency medical technician, so when I heard an ad for the creation of the modern ambulance service and paramedics, I had to listen to it. I found the topic fascinating and enjoyed the way the material was written. The content was presented with dialogue and suspense that brought the story to life. I scanned the list of episode topics and will definitely be listening to more of them soon.

It was a well written book series, I did enjoy reading it as there is adventure, love interest, suspense and cliff hangers throughout however it is not on my favourite shelf as it didn’t hook me in as other books that I have read. I crave the books that I cannot put down and end up reading until 3am. Sadly, this was not one of those but don’t get me wrong, it was still enjoyable to read.

Gary Giddins recommended High and Low (1963) in Movies (curated)

 
High and Low (1963)
High and Low (1963)
1963 | Drama, Mystery, Thriller

"One of the greatest urban crime films ever made. The first hour takes place in an industrialist’s living room, with huge picture windows that look over the city without seeing it, yet Kurosawa’s camera work is so deft and inventive you never feel the constriction—only pummeling suspense and a moral quandary. Toshiro Mifune plays coat-and-tie decency as well as he does his wild men, and Kurosawa descends into the lower depths with blinding clarity."

"Charles Laughton’s only film as director, scripted by James Agee from the book by Davis Grubb. It’s a fairy-tale version of a crime-suspense drama, as two children are pursued through a magical, haunted landscape by a demented yet canny preacher (Robert Mitchum). There’s a grown-up story about a stash of stolen money, but Laughton’s masterstroke is to ignore that and present the human monster from the children’s point of view, as a remorseless bogeyman."

I wasn't as big a fan of Duff's POV, mostly because it sounded too similar to Lily's voice. I know it must be difficult to encorporate an entirely different personality into a character within the same world, but his thoughts were too in sync with Lily's. This book was more action than suspense, so it wasn't as interesting to me. However, I'm still deeply invested and will read the next book to find out how everything unravels.

This is really well done with a great amount of suspense and mystery. The cast is great, but the actor playing Assane steals the show. His presence and delivery in each scene is fantastic. It's only two seasons, but it's great. I just wish it had wrapped things up a little better because it's kind of on a cliffhanger. Maybe we'll get another season, but who knows? Either way, it's a show I'm glad I checked out.
