Another good Harry Hole story

I'd be lying if I said this was the best Harry Hole book I've read. It's not even as good as the last Hole book I read,The Devil's Star, which is the book immediately preceding this one. However there's something about the Harry Hole series that you can't help but enjoy.

Hole himself is your typical tortured detective who sits on the borderline of breaking the law but for his own moral reasons. He reminds me a lot of Luther in a way. The story in this is interesting and has a lot of twists and turns, although it does come across as slightly convoluted at times. I do like Nesbo's writing style and how despite featuring chapters from what you think are the killer or offender, he seems very adept at changing your perceptions completely. Whilst I enjoyed this book, there was something about it that dragged and felt a bit off, which is why it isnt as highly marked as it's predecessor.

Kudos

Star-Crossed ( Cursed book 1)
By Meg Anne & Jessica Wayne

Skye Giovanni was seven years old the first time death came to her.

She has been haunted by visions of death since she was a child. It is her legacy and her curse. What good is power when you have no control over it?

Detective Lucas MacConnell is being hunted.

Crime scenes with ritualistic murders are starting to pop up everywhere, and the only thing Lucas knows for sure is that the mysterious Skye is at the center of it all.

An ancient power rises determined to end them both.

Thrown together by fate, and a destiny slowly spiraling out of their control, they will have to learn to trust each other or the next deaths might be their own.

Really enjoyed this book! Loved the combination of Druids and Gypsies not something I have come across much! Characters are brilliant all really easy to get along with!
I have already found myself halfway through book 2 without noticing 😁
