I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to watch this film, but let me tell you, I was thoroughly entertained. It’s one of those films that throws logic out the window but still manages to be incredibly fun. Directed by Jon Turteltaub, it offers a mix of adventure, mystery and historical fiction that takes you on a wild treasure hunt filled with puzzles and hidden clues.

The first few opening chapters of this book, looks like something out of a crime series. Spoiler AlertWhen Evelyn Hugo, a sensational breathtaking actress and powerful movie star, who has married over seven husbands, and refused to share any tiny personal detail of her life, requests for an interview, supposedly to share intimate details about herself and her plans to auction most of her best wears, to raise money for a breast cancer initiative, you can only assume that 'Vivant', the magazine outlet she chose, would send only the best of the best.

An absolutely steamy and smutty storyline with just the right amount of humor. When I first saw an excerpt from this book on Instagram, I knew instantly, that I would enjoy reading it. And true to my expectations, I loved this book! An enemies-to-lovers plot always have me smiling silly.

I usually gravitate towards thrillers, but this film took me by surprise with its gritty take on crime and the unlikely partnership that develops between a cop and a gangster. After hearing about this film from a friend, I decided to check it out as he really hyped up the storyline and in all honesty, I’m glad I did. It’s an intense ride from start to finish, with just the right balance of suspense, action and character development.

We were almost closing when she walked in and took a seat in one of the booths at the far end of the bar. She looked like she was on some involuntary fast. Her hair needed a comb, and her eyes craved sleep. Her skin was extremely tanned, her cheeks thin, and her neck bone so prominent it looked like it could hold almost half a liter of water. But beneath all those features was a very beautiful, slender young woman, probably my age whose appearance didn't match the expensive outfit she had on.
