![]() But Kit doesn't want her and her crew in his fancy Chalet, so be prepared for some chilly winter nights as they reluctantly get to know each other. The story is about doco filmmaker Clover as she sets up in the enemy camp to get the real story on Kit Foley - the nemesis of the hero she featured in her most recent film. With thanks to A&U for an uncorrected proof ARC View all my reviewsĪ cute lil holiday story which is utterly predictable but no less cute for it. Personally, however, I think it's time for me to disappear back into some fantasy. I got a bit tired reading about some of the details of the various crimes discussed in this story, and I think that's just because of how sad it makes me that these things are still happening for real all around the world.Īn excellent crime novel and a brilliant follow up to the Hangman series that should leave fans satisfied. Sometimes I rather missed the lack of detail, and I do feel this story could have been fleshed out further by adding more meat to the characters.Īs mentioned, I've become a bit jaded with crime, so for me it was the unique aspects of the story that kept me hooked. This book travels at a fast pace which means you do have to put some things together for yourself. I didn't particularly like Elise or Callum, so Stephanie actually attracted most of my sympathy. I found Stephanie to be a really interesting character, and would have loved to explore her story more thoroughly. This is a rather convoluted story with many seemingly disconnected characters that somehow weave together into the same narrative. The twists were aplenty, and while I did see a few coming there were still some that kept me guessing and had me surprised. If that's not an original hook, I haven't read as much crime as I thought! I found the sibling dynamic was quite fascinating, especially when their true colours started coming out. So, that in mind, let me mention all the things that are great about this story.įirst, there's the unique premise: Elise can go free from her captor, but only if she murders her (also captive) brother. so it just doesn't quite hit the same for me any more. I've seemingly become a little jaded with reading about murder, assault, rape, etc. I have to admit - the three stars is more me than this book. Highly recommend for fantasy lovers, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T LISTEN TO THE AUDIO.Īnother fast-paced thriller from Jack Heath! Honestly, I really did zone out for a fair bit of the story but it was way more entertaining than I expected it to be so I'll probably go back and re-read then continue on with the series. The villain seems like a straight up a-hole so he made things fun! There's enough creativity elsewhere for me to overlook something as little as a name or two. The names put me off to start with because you've got all these cool, fantasy-esque names and then the main heroine is named Carol?! But then I discovered Carol is the author's wife's name and I can't argue with that. I really liked Ty and that lil band of three so I want to go back and properly appreciate their adventures. I really liked the characters, and may even go back and just read the e-book so I can get to know them better. This story definitely deserved a more excited narrator. So I would kinda zone out and then hear something important and be like, 'wait, what?!' and then have to rewind. Did I mention the narration is pretty terrible? Inflections in all the wrong places and she can make battle scenes sound like just another dull day. I enjoyed the magic system, even though I definitely zoned out through some important bits. I would probably have loved this if the narrator was better.Īs it was, still a solid, enjoyable fantasy with some fun characters. 5 of a star because I did get a little confused jumping back and forth and also because some of it I saw coming but these are minor complaints that will quite possibly vanish into a 5-star rating after further consideration of how this book made me feel (devilishly entertained). Honestly this was just so much fun and it is SO GOOD to meet bloodthirsty vampires again <3 Thank you for ripping out people's throats and drinking their blood and doing horribly monstrous things. Jumps back and forth between timelines so my precious brain got confused Sneaky low-key LOTR references I SEE YOU Lots of rep and real world issues disguised by violent vampire adventure horror story
