Hard time connecting with the adults,the children were far more interesting to me. I was expecting more intrigue, or maybe I missed it.I liked it, but I didn’t fully follow what was happening and found myself going back to read again

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Breathe (Breathe, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Breathe] by [Sarah Crossan] was a dystopian novel where the government manipulated people to remain in power. The earth's atmosphere has been depleted so badly that the air can not sustain life. Or, that is what people believe. [Crossan] creates a world full of lies and intrigue but characters that are heroic and keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen.

This book was incredible. I didn't find the format jarring like in the first book since I knew what to expect. I flew through it in two sittings. There isn't much I can say about the plot because of spoiling the first book of the Themis Files but lets just say everything gets ramped up to a million in this book.
Deborah (162 KP) rated The Intrigue at Highbury: Or, Emma's Match (Mr. & Mrs. Darcy Mysteries, #5) in Books
Dec 21, 2018
Bebris really starts to hit her stride with this instalment. The first books were entertaining enough, but rereading, I see that The Intrigue at Highbury and the following book, The Deception at Lyme, really are of a higher standard, better plotted and more involving than the earlier books. I hope that when The Suspicions at Sandition is available in paperback that the standard will have been maintained.

Good one
With actors like Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds you know this movie is good. Not high budget but filled with action and intrigue. If you like "spy" movies you'll enjoy this one. Good cinematography and a story that unfolds quite well. Some parts were a little predictable, but it still keeps the interest. It's an older movie but very endearing. Worth a watch.
