This is one of those books that grabs you from the first few pages and you can't stop reading. The story was well written, using the different character perspectives to narrate the action. I am hoping that this is the start of a compelling series starring Becky and well done to Victoria for such a good job on her debut novel.

So I have a weakness for firefighters and disasters. This book has both and a pretty good love story as well. The characters are likable and real. The setting is amazing, I want to live there. The plot flows really well with a slow burn romance. Nothing to cheesy or contrived. It just seems to happen because it is meant to be.

This is a very good film, well made with some great actors. Recommended by a friend and glad I saw it. It has a political edge to it about terrorism and links between the West and Middle East because of oil. There are some great action scenes and the final shootout is very well directed. Go see it!

Absolutely action packed film! So well done, incredible casting & interesting plot. The transitions between scenes and just during fight scenes themselves are so well done & incredibly impressive. A kind of collision of two different spy worlds was interestingly done too & made for a nice comparison & means a 3rd film can always be made (which I think I saw it is being made!)

Great comedy thriller
A very good black comedy with a great cast in the lead roles. The main leads all have great chemistry between them with their characters. This has plenty of funny moments as well as a good thriller plot with a few twists along the way. It will put a smile on your face.

Well done
Not usually a fan of these types of movies but this was a good one. Great acting, good- cinematography and a really good story. Everything played out well. Plenty of twists and turns. The only part I didn't enjoy was the ending. Very weak. If you like crime thrillers you'll really like this movie. Worth a watch.

Not usually a big Jennifer Lawrence fan but she did great in this one. This spy thriller was well done all around. Not as much action as some but it held it's own. The actors all did well and the story played out with plenty if twists and turns. Overall very entertaining and keeps the interest throughout. Worth a watch!

This is a very interesting partner (4 player) strategy game. Not always a good idea to be passive in this one. The randomness in teams to start is interesting as well. Some of the pieces work together well and some are mehh. Overall I have enjoyed the few times I have played even on the losing end. Learning each game.

Harder than it looks
If you want to play this game I recommend ignoring the instructions in the box and looking them up online, thr box instructions are unclear at best. Once you figure out the rules the game is similar to chess. It is well made and the pieces are lovely.
