Henrie O agrees to go on a cruise to help an old friend convince his wife she is in danger from one of her step kids. But who might it be? The drama in this book was so gripping I had a hard time putting it down.

I don't know why everyone is saying how bad this book is! I absolutely loved it! I thought the plot was quite gripping & I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. I was really sad when it ended. I was hooked from page 1. Please don't let the bad reviews put you off. This book is really good, one of my faves. The plot is interesting as are the characters!

Lost Man
As with all Harper's books the biggest character is the landscape and here it is the Australian outback. This is the third of her books that I've read and her best. One family in the middle of nowhere with dark secrets which l develop and unfold centred around one dead man. Excellent and gripping read. Recommended

As good as the original
I had reservations when going to watch this as Blumhouses output has been patchy so far; also I love the black and white Claude Raines version as well.
No worries needed. The story is gripping m, brilliantly told from another angle and all those lingering camera shots of nothing (!?!) are so well done. Finally Elizabeth Moss was outstanding.
Nuff said, go watch

I came across this as just a mean to watch any film one night. Shockingly I enjoy it and liked how at the end his family shared certain attributes of his powers which then lead me to research it more and got to say am looking forward to the next one. Action scenes were gripping and story line was quite good too

I just couldn't put it down...
Another fantastic novel in the Robert Hunter series.

Spine-tingling, gripping thriller which will keep you turning the page over and over. I honestly could not out it down. I was so immersed in the storyline.

They way the story is written makes you feel part of the plot. You feel so involved.

Will have you dying to read the next one...

Teen Wolf - Season 1
Season 1 of this American TV series is just the start of Scott McCall's journey in the life of being a teenage werewolf. It is filled with action, romance and comedy- brilliant for those who love to watch fantasy related programmes. The first season of this incredible series also includes a lot of mystery and attention gripping moments throughout the episodes. I highly reccomend this series!!

Couldn't put it down
Just closed the covers and really hope someone will read my review and read this. If historical Romances are your thing I think this one will be one for you!
It's such an easy book to get into. I read about 100 pages in one go and finished it quicker than most books I read.
I just found the story compelling, gripping and inspiring. It's not your typical romance, as the romance side is more on the back burner (I'd still put it in the Historical Romance category) and it's more about independence, hard work, determination, women's struggles in that era, friendship and family values. It's not often I find a book I don't see one fault with so I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. It's not a 10 as I save my ten for my utmost favourites, although this is blummin' close.
