One to watch for.

A debut thriller that really kept me on the edge of my seat. Rosalind Ryan, a local Drama and English teacher, is found dead in the lake at a local nature reserve. Gemma Woodstock, a local Detective Sergeant, is put on the case. Except Gemma has a history with Rosalind, and she has a lot of other personal baggage.
I enjoyed this. They're all very human characters with lots of faults, sometimes unpleasant ones: but I liked that. I liked that the murderer wasn't at all obvious (to me, anyway!) and had me guessing right up to the end, and the whole reason for the murder was a shock, and at the same time, understandable.
I will keep an eye out for future novels by this author, particularly in this series. I really do think that she'll be one to watch out for in the future.

I put off reading this book at first because I just knew I wouldn't be able to put it down!? If you've read any of Aleatha's books, you know exactly what I mean... and as expected, not one chapter in and I was hooked. It was everything you would expect from one of Aleatha's books... Alexandria (Alex aka Chari) takes one weeks vacation away to be the risk-taking, brave girl she never is.. only to meet the mysterious, commanding and sexy as hell, Nox. One week.. no names, no history, no future, nothing more.... could you do it? Could you walk away from the best week of your life and never look back? One day read! My GOD I can't wait for the next book!? Left on a cliffhanger and am so excited to have FOUR more coming in the future! Can't wait for more Nox & Charli!
