This was an amazing First Reads Win to receive!!! Diane Chamberlain weaves a wonderful story that felt so alive with a twist of real history. There were so many times I was angry with Henry and hopeful for Tess. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone and everyone that cannot wait to sink their teeth into a great story.

This debut is slow and somewhat predictable. The only “twist” takes place halfway through the novel and doesn’t really make up for the sluggish pace of the story. It delves somewhat superficially into the lives and thoughts of the characters but not enough to really make us invested in them. It is not a bad novel but I had hoped for better.

Great read
I usually struggle with reading Stephen king, maybe because they're always very paranormal. But I loved this, kind of a cross with a detective book with a paranormal twist. Which was perfect for me. I couldn't put it down, but limited myself each day so I could appreciate what I was reading a bit more.
Definitely worth a read.

This book had a great story. It was very shocking because the main character dies in part one of the book. I like the author's perspective on what it might be like to be a ghost. She gives Delia a lot of power and develops her character quite nicely. The twist about who the malicious ghost is was quite a surprise.

I was really dubious about this film, being a massive fan of the Robin Williams film, but it did impress me. I really liked this twist on how the game alters for the generation. I do wonder how they would continue it if they felt the need to do another though. I'm also curious how many younger people got the Alan Parish reference.

All aboard
A good revival of the old thriller aboard a train film. It starts fairly slow but the second half soon intensifies with a mix of suspense, action and tone. It will grip you and draw you in, wondering what twist will come next. A solid cast give good performances and the setting and location add to the drama of the film.

The best book i have read in a long time
Every twist and turn within the book led to me thinking my heart was about to break for them. However the lightheartedness of the book makes you grateful to know that there is a love out there as great as theirs, and it shines through all of the grim details that Auschwitz offers

Just finished watching very predictable horror movie good on the gore should have seen the twist coming but didn't nice cameo from Tom Adkins who's been in serval of these type of movies managed to spot the written of the screen play in a small role. could have been a better horror movie than a Halloween rip off
