House of the Long Shadows- is a excellent movie. It has four horror legends and icons in it. Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and John Carradine. It mixes horror, suspense and comedy and it does a excellent job with it.

The plot: An American author finds a dilapidated Welsh manor perfect for writing until the residents host a bizarre family reunion.

Its a must see film.

Remember Who You Are exudes the love of Disney with every paragraph. Every chapter starts with a quote from an iconic film and quotes are hidden like easter eggs throughout the story.

Poppy's story could easily have been lifted straight out of a Hollywood rom com: it has sex, sass and suspense as well as an amazing best friend and men we love to hate.
What could be better? This story with the addition of a Disney castle of course!

A few unresolved questions
Sank without trace
This low budget film seemed ok from the trailer. A perilous situation thriller a bit like Fall on Netflix but this time under the sea as a diver becomes trapped in a remote location. The drama and suspense just ran out of steam quite early on or just short of ideas. Some flash backs about the family set up left more questions than answers. Ok if nothing else is on.

This is my second Nikki Boyd novel and I loved it every bit as much as the last one I read. Ms. Harris is a talented author who knows what to bring to her readers. She blends the heart pounding suspense, the breathtaking twists and the epic chills that make up a perfect suspense novel. The characters she throws into the story really bring it to life, making it play out more like a movie on the big screen than simply a thrilling novel.

Nikki, Garrett and Jordan come together in a wonderfully researched, well thought out novel. This is the back story of Nikki's sister Sarah and what happened to her. Each page turn truly captivated me, wrapping me up in the investigation and the shivering suspense that goes on behind the lines of duty. Throw in to the mix a little romance between two characters, God's unending glory and it rounds it out beautifully.

Ms. Harris takes a topic that isn't easily handled, the disappearance of a loved one, and creates a carefully woven, intricately pieced novel. This book is beyond 5 star worthy, and is one that will be at the top of my recommendation list for many months to come. This book will take you on a highest of high roller coaster ride, twist your gut, squeeze your heart, and the sudden stop at the end.....well, just grab a copy of this book now to see what I'm talking about.

Didn't see it coming, expect lots of twists
Listened on Audible.co.uk.

While it took a while for any major developments to unfold as it went into a lot of details with smaller clues, and the original crime itself felt slightly underwhelming - the last 15 chapters were an absolute whirlwind of suspense and unnerving moments.

Chapter 45 is absolutely gut-wrenching so watch this space.

The ending totally throws you off your initial suspicions from the first 40 chapters. So stick right to the end!
