I enjoyed this book. When I read it it sounded like it was the 2nd book in a series as they mentioned a previous murder but when I read further I realised that wasn't the case so am glad I continued reading and didn't give up.
I read crime books all the time and I enjoyed this one. It had a good story and it all made sense. I didn't guess who the murderer was and why he chose his victims.
As previous mentioned I was close to giving up as I thought it was a follow book and also within the first few chapters I struggled to get into the book which is never a good sign. I wasn't as compelled to pick up the book and continue reading as much as I usually am with books. I didn't really connect with the characters in the book either and sometimes I felt like rolling my eyes at some of the things the characters did. I didn't think they were very professional at all.
I was definitely the intended audience in that I read a crime novels and I understood the book. Age could be anywhere from 25 up.
I'm not excited to read the other books in the set so possibly won't.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

I have to say, I enjoyed this novel. It was a quick read, too! It was a little hard for me to get into at first because the narrator was very unemotional and I didn't know what to do with it. But after a bit, the action started to pick up and it went along very nicely. I wish that the ending didn't feel so rushed and the epilogue gave a time frame with it, but I did enjoy it. I recommend this to anyone who likes dystopias and books without love triangles. I do have to warn you, keep some water nearby when you are reading it because there are a few points where I got really thirsty while reading! I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars because there were a few patches that felt a bit slow to me, but it was still really good!

I saw and I enjoyed
I have to be honest, this was a book I would never buy from the cover or from reading the back blerb, but it landed in my lap and I picked it up then I couldn't put it down. Never since I was a child have I read something since my childhood, where the characters are so vivid they become real and pictured in your head. They become characters you love like a friend and so route for them. This is a book about live without being a cheesy live story. This is a book about seeing things differently without being pretentious. This is a book about abuse without being focused on it. Joe Heap has written something quite special, a story of two wonderful characters who make you want to turn every page to will them on. I'm so glad I picked up this book.
Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian in Books
Jan 6, 2020 (Updated Jan 12, 2020)
It's interesting to me that I liked this book so much more than Fifty Shades. Partially because I think that Christian is a far more interesting character than Ana - he has much more of a backstory. Maybe it's because I relate to him in a lot of ways. I've read reviews that think this wasn't a good book in any regard, that E.L. James clearly doesn't know how to write as if she were a man, and I disagree. I know a Christian-like man and reading this novel, it was like being in his head too.
However, I have the same issue that I had with Fifty Shades in the dialogue. I do not know a single American that says, "I'm going to have a shower." I'm not sure why that infuriates me so much, but alas, it does. I am anxious to read Darker and the next Fifty Shades.

Short And Sweet
I am not a big Battlefield guy, nor am I a big FPS fan, but I picked this up in a sale and actually had a decent time playing through the campaign. I am not a fan of online gaming, so I just stuck to the campaign and although it was brief and the plot was rubbish, I did enjoy playing through it. If you aren't looking for anything too deep and have a few hours to kill, then this is definitely worth picking up in a sale, just don't expect anything complex or deep.

I enjoyed watching Idris Elba have the living shit beaten out of him by a lion more than I thought I would.
I went to see this on a Wednesday afternoon, when I had a couple of hours to kill, fully expecting to hate it, but it's a genuinely enjoyable thriller horror, with some tense moments. The characters are stupid way more often than they should be, and I got the feeling the script was improvised a fair bit, but honestly, Idris straight up chokes out a snake at one point, before punching the lion in the face a bit later, so it all balances out.
