TWISTER is a standalone novel in a wider selection of books set at the same time (ish) in the same town (ish). Daniel is looking after his daughter and his farm, while Marshall is trying to figure out what to do with his life. When a twister blows into town, all bets are off as they work together.

There are many parts of this story I loved - the meet-cute, Rose, Bucky, KAJIR!!!, Jackson - loved all of it. What I didn't get on so well with was the sheer speed of it. Also, there were a lot of hot topics covered, but none in-depth, again, because of the fast pacing.

This author is new to me, but I would definitely be happy to read more of her work. This had me laughing out loud at the over-the-top personalities, eyes leaking in the hospital, and the devastation at the farm, plus both during the wedding ceremony.

A fast-paced, fun read that I definitely recommend.

The House of Fallen Sisters is a fast paced historical mystery - and a firm 10/10 from me!
I’ve loved all of Louise Hare’s books, and she’s fast becoming an insta-read author for me. Every book has been distinctly different from her others. Books have been set in: 1950’s London, 1930’s London and Harlem, and now this book is set in the brothels of 1760’s London (London seems to be a key place in all of her books so far - and that’s OK with me!).

In trying to escape her inevitable life as a prostitute in a Covent Garden brothel, Sukey finds a young black man in a side street, almost beaten to death. Whilst trying to save him, she’s captured and returned to the brothel. There’s a lot going on in the underbelly (and brothels) of London: slavery, double dealing, and cheating those who think they’re a friend.

I really enjoyed this - I got a real sense of the hustle and bustle of London. The danger, the community, friendships, hardships and the rules of the game Sukey and her Fallen Sisters must adhere to. They’re all fabulous characters - even the more untrustworthy people!

I can’t wait to see where Louise Hare takes us next!

This book picks up where Hunted left off and we are straight away back with Bastian, Connor and Tressa. Secrets need to be shared, confidences kept and lives moved on but it's really not that simple.

The action is as fast-paced as ever and you will find yourself turning the pages quicker and quicker as you get involved with the story and the characters. There are twists and turns aplenty and characters are not who you thought they were. There is no build-up either to some of them. One minute they're who you think they are, the next their character has done a 180 and becomes someone completely different. This keeps you on the edge of your seat as you read through.

I have to say that I really do feel sorry for Tressa - it appears that a quiet life with the one she loves is so far out of reach that it's just not funny.

Fast-paced, action-packed and intense - this series just keeps on getting better and better.
