Sarah (7799 KP) rated Cockroaches (Harry Hole #2) in Books
Jul 16, 2020
This definitely isn't one of the best Harry Hole books, but neither is it the absolute worst. It was enjoyable enough to read although I felt like Harry as a character doesn't have as much depth and intrigue as he does in later books. Whilst all characters have to develop across a series, he seems a bit like an empty shell here. The plot too is rather weak. None of the secondary characters seem that well developed either and the story seems to jump quickly from plot points with a rather confusing and ridiculous finale, even for a Hole story.
Overall it was readable, but definitely not particularly memorable.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Welcome to Sugartown (Sugartown, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
It was different; set in Australia and centred around one ex-biker gang guy trying to go it straight in the small town of Sugartown
I liked Elijah. He was hot and so sweet with Ana and Sammy. He tried to resist her for her own good but in the end he couldn't do it and it made me smile because I think they make quite a cute couple.
As for Ana, she was so strong willed and, I was behind her 100% of the book in regards to seducing Elijah, it broke my heart a little with what happened to her, though. Poor thing. Elijah got a bit of justice for her, which sent him even higher up my list of favourite things in this book.
It has a different plotline to most NA, so if you're getting bored of reading the same sort of storylines, you should check this out!
