Inspired by the real-life Louise de Bettignies (aka Alice DuBois, aka Lili), this novel fictionalizes one of the women behind this famous titular group of spies in German-occupied Europe during the first World War, and brings her back to post-World War II France in search of one missing person, as well as resolutions to questions unanswered for nearly 30 years.

Finally got to watch on Disney + and I would have to admit I'm disappointed by the movie there are some good action scenes but there was something missing from the movie needed more comedy element as I've never watched the original but I knew about mushu the dragon voiced by Eddie Murphy. Here basically he's been written out of the movie big mistake. I think I will try watching the original and probably like it more

Two girls, bound by the abandonment of their mothers, learn to face & survive the world together - until one of them goes missing. Though this book was slow at times, I found the story touching, easily relatable, and sure, a little dramatic. But I loved the platonic element between the two girls, Miranda & Syd. Romance was not the center of the story, which was refreshing, and I liked that Miranda was not a passive protagonist.

3.5 stars in my book :) Worth the read.

A creepy thriller, well worth the watch!
23 years ago Carys Howell goes missing from a small Welsh village. The case is never solved. After the sudden and horrific death of her mother, Matilda Gray, celebrity cello player, finds herself drawn to the village and the case. Followed by close friend Hal, who has clear but unreciprocated feelings towards Matilda, she slowly begins to unravel the events around the case. What Matilda finds leads her into the world of the dark supernatural.

I found the story engaging and compelling and I really cared about the main characters- particularly Matilda and Hal. The supernatural scenes were creepy and a little jumpy at times.

There were a few issues that I had with the series, firstly some of the twists were a little predictable , but this is offset by the twists that were unexpected. My primary gripe with the series is that the ending left me wanting- it was missing that fulfilling ending that I was craving. I would have preferred an additional episode that covered the ‘black outs’, instead it was almost as if the writers had put so much into the rest of the series, that they got to the last thirty minutes and rushed it, missing out the meat.


The series does set itself up nicely for a season 2, but neither the BBC or Netflix have confirmed a renewal (both have a stake in the series). Despite the weak ending, I do hope that there is a sequel, as I believe it will be much darker and creepier.
