DEEPER THAN THE OCEAN is the fourth book in the Deep Six series but the first one I have read. It definitely can be read as a standalone without missing any of the plot, although I would like to read the others, just to know their stories!

Wolf and Chrissy have an attraction that is off the charts, but due to Chrissy's past and Wolf's stupidity, friends are all they will be, as far as Chrissy's concerned. That all changes when she and Winston are both shot one night. She manages to get help for Winston before collapsing, which triggers all of Wolf's protective instincts.

This was a great story with plenty of witticisms and banter. I loved the misheard lyrics - they definitely made me laugh every time! I also believe the next book will be Romeo and Mia's, or at least it appears that way with the setting up.

I do hope the treasure is eventually found as I found the historical part of this story fascinating. I wonder if it's an overall story arc mentioned in the other books.

This was a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

The best (and one of the original) takes on a dystopian future
Orwell's take on the dystopian future is by far one of the best I've ever read. Yes it's bleak and depressing, but this just reflects the future it's telling. Winston is an appealing yet flawed main character, but you still find yourself rooting for him. The story drags a little during the middle, but the ending more than makes up for this. The worrying thing is you can almost imagine our future ending up like this, even if Orwell got the year wrong!

The emotional side of a story you already know
We all know about Winston Churchill. Whether that be through sitting in a history lesson and being told of how he won the war for us or having your grandparents tell you all about it over Christmas dinner. He was a truly iconic man and this film did an excellent job of showcasing that and more. Nobody can imagine the amount of pressure on that man's shoulders, stepping into take charge of the country at such a critical time, being constantly told you were doing it all wrong. In the end, it shows how just hat little bit of confidence and support can spur you on to do what you truly think is best. If you need to feel uplifted, I highly recommend the film.

Spenser Confidential is a hard hitting action comedy, loosely based on the novel Wonderland by Ace Atkins, and stars Mark Wahlberg, Winston Duke, Alan Arkin, Iliza Shlesinger, Bokeem Woodbine, Donald Cerrone, Marc Maron, and Austin Post.

After a stretch in prison for a violent attack on another officer, Spenser is released, that night the officer who he did time for attacking is murdered, which throws Spensers name into the fire.
 When a second officer from his former precinct is murdered, Spenser teams up with his no-nonsense roommate, Hawk, to take down criminals and uncover the truth before it's too late.

A great movie-
 even though the story has had very similar ones berfore it, it's a nice throwback to them whilst injecting a dose of witt to it.
