Iron Man is one of my favorite superhero origin stories and movies. The movie introduces us to Tony Stark, a genius billionaire inventor who is the CEO of Stark Industries, a weapons manufacturing company. A visit to Afghanistan for a weapons test turns disastrous as his convoy gets attacked by terrorists and Tony gets kidnapped and forced to build weapons for them. Tony Stark, however, creates a suit of armor to help him escape the terrorists.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is an action-packed movie, but its weak storyline held it back. The movie takes place after the events of Jurassic World, where the park is abandoned, leaving dinosaurs to roam free and live naturally. Unfortunately, a volcanic eruption on Isla Nublar threatens the lives of the dinosaurs, forcing our protagonists to save the dinosaurs and uncover a sinister operation.

After being left haunted by her last case, Pip is done investigating mysteries. But when online threats turn into being followed in real life, Pip is forced into solving one more case. This book was easily the most action packed in the series. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It has a very different tone from the other two books and it definitely gets way darker, but the progression of Pip’s character was amazing. I think this was a great way to end the series.

Veronica Roth’s Divergent is a gripping dystopian novel set in a world where society is divided into factions based on virtues. Sixteen-year-old Tris Prior discovers she is “Divergent,” meaning she doesn’t fit neatly into one faction. As she navigates her new life in the Dauntless faction, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy threatening the entire society. The book delivers fast-paced action and an intriguing world. I also enjoyed Tris’s personal growth and the romantic tension with Four that added emotional depth.

Ruin and Rising is the grand finale of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, and if you haven't read Shadow and Bone (first book) or Siege and Storm (second book), I would highly recommend that you read them first.
