The description of this book pretty much sets the scene and paints a good picture of what this book is about so I won't repeat any of it here but what I will say is that the narrator made the book for me; she was brilliant and really brought to life the characters and the overriding sense of building tension.
The One Who Fell is the first in the series and a pretty good opener I think to a set of mystery books. The characters were really strong and believable and the plot was intriguing; the side story of the panther was a bit odd at first but was weaved into the main story pretty well at the end.
Overall, I quite enjoyed this audiobook; it was a little slow to begin with but as the tension built, the pace increased to a satisfying conclusion and thanks must go to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The One Who Fell.

A good romp with some tense atmospherics.
A great premise with some stunning CGI. Some of the scenes feel a bit forced as they have borrowed alot from other xenomorph/horror films.
Ryan Reynolds plays Ryan Reynolds with his quirky and snappy sarcasm carrying through.
Jake Gylenhall was a favourite of mine as he generally brings another character to the table.
All in all a enjoyable flick with lashings of aliens and enough tension to keep you interested.

A fast pacey action packed thriller
Contains spoilers, click to show
Not a bad action thriller with a cast most of who i had never heard of (other than William Fichtner). Its very action packed and the story is credible. It has just the right amount of tension to keep you watching. Not blood thirsty by any means though it does have an R certificate for violence (be advised). I definitely enjoyed it and would rate it well worth a watch

I can't think of a thing that wasn't right in <i>Blue Diablo</i>. I can think of one thing that made it stand head and shoulders above much of what I've read lately: Aguirre knows that sexual tension can be much sexier than explicit sex scenes! That is <b>such</b> a relief!
I'm looking forward to reading more about Corine and Chance. I've been waiting for more of her Grimspace series, so now I'm torn. Just give us more, Ann!

A decent conclusion
A decent end to the Millennium Trilogy as it sums up all the main plot lines. Carrying straight on from the end of the 2nd film, you will need to have seen the first two films. I have to say this is the weakest of the three by some distance though. There isn't as much action, tension as the first two films but if you enjoyed those two great films you will enjoy seeing it reach its conclusion.

The hype is definitely justified for this film. It's between this film and @Witness for the Prosecution (1957) for the best courtroom dramas ever made.
The tension is perfect throughout the movie, and the decision-making process on whether or not the defendant was guilty of the crime or not.
Every courtroom drama after this film has been undoubtedly inspired by this film. If you've never seen it and are a fan of courtroom/crime genres, this is a can't-miss film.

I did enjoy this. It took a while for things to progress into anything that was a little steamy but the tension was raging higher in every argument/exchange between them so it was really only a matter of time.
I was a little surprised by the bundle of energy that appeared a little after the half way point but I do have a soft spot for cute kids in my books.
I'm looking forward to reading more books by the author.

While nothing new, it is well executed
The structure of this jam-packed, fast paced novel is well-laid out, moving from the protagonist's voice to a mysterious person continuously. While the enigmatic chapters were less than mysterious, as I figured out who it was near the beginning, it is clear and not too overdone. It is sad as there are many mothers treated this way especially through the systems, not believed and thought of as unfit. Hence it seems realistic with a sense of tension throughout
