Well done
"La femme Nikita", "Point of No Return", "Red Sparrow" and now this. All good movies with strong female leads(among other similarities). Good acting, great cinematography and a well played out storyline. This one has plenty of action, sex and intrigue. If you enjoy spy movies, this is a good one. Worth a watch.

I saw Charlize Theron, that's it, it was sold to me. She is incredible when it comes to action movies. True badass. I really liked the action that this film had to offer, but I found the plot boring. There was no intrigue, everything very predictable. I loved the ending though, and would like to see another part.

I really can't write this review the way I'd like to because then it would contain spoilers that would ruin it for anyone who hasn't read it. I love this series and I'm crushing big time on America!

The plot continues to keep me captivated and total immersed in the intrigue. It's truly a story line to get lost in!

A Brilliant Read
Aside from the romance and the fairly surprising twist this book is a brilliantly written historical fiction based around real life events, the main characters are interesting and the action is fantastically written, this is a book I have read several times and is still very much a page turner for me.

Diver Luanne Fogarty finds intrigue in a camp of Hurricane Katrina refugees who have settled in her fresh water swamps of northern Florida. The plot seems to get lost in the middle, although everything comes into play by the end.

A missing girl in the modern day dovetails with Evan finding the skeleton of a girl who went missing 25 years ago. Are the two connected? We're back to the charm and intrigue of the series now in another strong book.
