Review: Now you see her by Heidi Perks

This book was a great read, I thought that I had the storyline worked out fairly quickly, however there was a twist and it was I didn’t see it coming! 

It was fast paced and I wanted to read more until I got to the end. It’s written in different parts of before and now in two persons accounts, it can be a bit confusing if you don’t like flicking between times/people in each chapter but I found it easy enough to follow as the book was well written.

Review: London Rules by Mick Herron

London Rules might not be written down, but everyone knows rule one.

Cover your arse.

Yet another fantastic book in the Jackson Lamb series from Mick Herron. 

I really don’t know how he does it, yet another book that kept me guessing and was action packed with things going on. There’s always a twist and nothing is as straightforward as it seems. I love the fact that we see more of J.K. Coe in this one and see the character develop further. And the return of the characters that I’ve come to like and feel close to now. 

I also love the comedy in the books too - I had more laugh out loud moments. It’s not just drama and comedy that is brought though as the sadness felt by River over his grandads condition is done really well and comes across the pages to me as a reader. 

The downside to this book is the fact that I’m now fully up to date so will have to try to wait patiently for the next instalment from the Slow Horses... I really hope I don’t have to wait too long!!

Review: Only Child by Rhiannon Navin

Your seven years old and a shooter is loose in your school... you don’t even think about your older brother until your mum finds you and asks where he is...

This book focuses on Zach who’s life is turned upside down when his brother is killed by a school shooter. Throughout the book we go through his thoughts and feelings as he struggles to understand what is happening to him and his family. 

It’s a lovely touching story that makes you appreciate what you’ve got even if you haven’t lost a loved one.
