Today‘s Prompt: COVER WITH OBSCURED FACE

THRILLER - SUSPENSE

The title intrigued me from the start. 

Does it mean not looking back?

Does it mean looking the other way? 

Does it mean keeping your secrets and your past hidden?

PUBLICATION DATE: JUNE 16, 2019

Mi ricordo molto bella come lettura.

Another buddy read with my kiddo. This one reminded me a lot of The Girl's I've Been (Tess Sharp) and Nowhere Girl: A Memoir Of A Fugitive Childhood (Cheryl Diamond).

Similar to her other books, Brown creates a world filled with suspense, conflict, tumultos situations and a little bit of lust. Bad boy Shaw kinnard is an undercover FBI agent who “kidnaps” Jordie Bennet in one of his cases. Jordie is connected to her brother who helped mobster Billy Panella embezzle millions from innocent people. Hickman and Wiley are local cops who are the backbone of the case and characters. Justice vs sibling relationship

Do you like to read a book before watching the movie adaptation? Are you a Benedict Cumberbatch fan?

If so, you'll want to read 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝗪𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧 by 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫, based on a true story. My answer to both is “yes“ & thanks to @BlackstonePublishing & @Bibliolifestyle I am going to read the book before the upcoming film is released. Originally published in 1983, it was re-released on April 18, 2023.

Une histoire complètement renversante. Comme quoi nous avons tous un adversaire qui sommeille en nous. Une histoire vrai qui déboussole, qui renverse nos fondations, qui fait douter de notre propre réalité. Emmanuel Carrère fait preuve de courage, écrire un roman sur une brutte, tricoter une relation avec un homme qui méritent tout sauf notre respect, un lâche qui attire notre compassion. Vraiment intéressant

I heard this referenced in a podcast I listen to and it proved to be very interesting. It took a look at small scale and individual deep fakes all the way to the ways different countries are engaging and tampering in different ways. It included a historic look at the development of deep fake technology and a little forecasting to where we might be heading. Interesting and important topic in the world we love in today.

Proof post one. I have only managed to log 2 out of 3 pages of bingo cards but I have 3 just on these pages. #teammonstermash

This is a light pick for me. I didn‘t mind reading it, but I figured out the secret pretty early and it exceeded my limits of believability a bit too much to be truly enjoyable. Katrina and her family are frequently on the run from their past, and she decides it‘s finally time she learns the truth. As she starts to learn more with the help of a new friend, it seems everything she thought she knew was based on lies.

Here we‘ve got a family in witness protection, narrated by the daughter. It‘s a pretty far fetched story but I read to the end. There is one big twist in the middle that kept me reading. Not much character development, a not to be believed story, and a writing style that I wasn‘t that crazy about. Still, it‘s a so-so read.
