Review: Twisted by Steve Cavanagh

BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THREE THINGS:

1. The police are looking to charge me with murder.
2. No one knows who I am. Or how I did it.
3. If you think you've found me. I'm coming for you next.

After you've read this book, you'll know: the truth is far more twisted...

WOW!! I literally couldn't put this book down... as a fan of Steve Cavanagh's other books I was excited to read this standalone book and I can honestly say that I wasn't disappointed! 

I don't like giving too much away about storylines but what I can say is that this had me gripped.... I needed to find out what was going on and that meant that I had to keep reading as just as you think you know what's happening... things change. 

It's a fast paced novel which I liked, it definitely kept me guessing and it's not one of those books where one chapter in you know exactly how it's going to end but you carry on reading anyway!

I loved the fact that Steve even put a brief reference to Eddie Flynn in the book (that's his main character from his other books) and the book just felt really 'current' with other small references that were made. 

If I'm completely honest... I finished the book two days ago and I'm still wondering to myself how he came up with such a fantastic storyline and managed to write it so brilliantly! It definitely needs to be at the top of your to-read pile. 

Thank you so much to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion. I enjoyed it that much that I'll be buying a hard copy when it's released.

Review: It Ends With You by S.K.Wright

'If I'd told the truth, it would have been fiction.'

Everyone loves Eva. Beautiful, bright, fun, generous - she's perfect.

So when her body is found in a ditch in the local woods the only thing anyone wants to know is: Who could have done this?

It has to be Luke, her boyfriend. He has the motive, the means, the opportunity and he's no stranger to the police.

Even though the picture is incomplete, the pieces fit. But as time passes, stories change.

Who could have done this? You decide.

It Ends With You is clever and compulsive. It challenges preconceptions, makes you second-guess yourself with each chapter, and it holds an uncomfortable mirror up to the way societies and systems treat outsiders.

I enjoyed this book however, it didn't grip me like some books do. I do understand that it is targeted at a YA audience and that could be the reason. The storyline was told over multiple people and utilised the use of social media too which was enjoyable to read.

I did have the killer worked our pretty quickly and was slightly disappointed with the ending as it seemed like things were left dangling...… could it be for a sequel?

Review: Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh

WOW!!! I absolutely loved this book, I read it in less than 24 hours and just couldn't put it down - I almost considered not sleeping so that I could finish it quicker!!

So as the book suggests...… The serial killer isn't on trial - HE'S ON THE JURY

This was brilliantly written, the storyline just weaved and flowed easily with the picture of what had really happened building clue by clue. Kane is our criminal who has literally killed to get his seat on the jury, can he see the man convicted though?

Once again the star of the book is Eddie Flynn who ends up getting involved despite him not wanting too, once he realises that the client is innocent he takes matters into his own hands to help try and prove his innocence.

I don't want to give too much away about the rest of the storyline as I really think that everyone needs to read it themselves to find out. There were points when I was reading that I literally shouted out 'yes!, I'd forgotten about that' and 'oh my god' my friends who were with me told me that I couldn't tell them anymore as they wanted to read it!!
