Easy-to-read twisty teen thriller
Cousins Milly, Aubrey and Jonah Story barely know each other, and they don't know their grandmother, Mildred, at all. Wealthy Mildred disinherited their parents before the cousins were even born. But now Mildred has requested the cousins' presence at her seaside resort. All the parents want their children to go, hopeful that being inherited again is back on the table. But when the three arrive on the island, it's pretty apparent that Mildred isn't keen on meeting her grandchildren. It's also clear that there are a lot of secrets and lies swirling around the Story family and history.

This is a quick read and an easy thriller, if that makes sense. It's a fun story with some good twists and several crazy surprises. There's not a lot of character development or in-depth plotting, but the tale kept me guessing and engaged. I'm always a sucker for inheritance stories and giant houses filled with secrets perched on islands.

Overall, this is fast read and a twisty thriller. It would be a great starter mystery for teens. 3.75 stars.

Unknown's main victory then is in the fact that it is both different and individually satisfying enough from Neeson's similar recent work to recommend it. More than that actually, Unknown is a damn good thriller.
Critic- 'Film Intel'
Original Score- 4 out of 5

“Borne” is a work that exemplifies the notion of pick-and-choose literature; there are elements of science fiction and fantasy of course, but also flavors of thriller and love story and coming of age.
Critic- Allen Adams
Original Score- 5 out of 5

Leitch and Theron turn in a serviceable thriller with killer action sequences. At the very least Atomic Blonde can be called the best DTV action film ever made. A title that really isn’t too shabby at all.
Critic- Adrian Torres
Original Score: 70 out of 100

This is the 2nd book in Baldacci's Camel Club series. Just like the 1st it was a fast paced thriller. This time it involved a casino owner, con men, & a defense contractor. Not to mention the Library of Congress, book restoreres & librarians. Oliver Stone is on his game again, as is Baldacci. Great read!

Taylor kitsch
Very violent thriller not great but it does keep up on the edge of seat one of the best parts of the movie surprised me was Taylor kitsch I know he has a bad reputation since john carter but here he's rather good which surprised me definitely worth a rewatch
