Raven Boys. Maggie Stiefvater
Well what can I say I was hooked from the first chapter; then everything went a little South. A little irritating with constant change of narrative - not even chapter by chapter but almost every other page. Then theres the highly annoyed is the "said Gansly" before he said anything! (This happens 95% before anyone speaks) but the story is so annoyingly captivating you have to gind out what happens next. So now I've bought the other three books in series to find out what did happen that night!!! What will happen to Blue???

An very good cast, a good idea but a poor-ish execution only make this an ok thriller. I had high hopes for a lot more but the title alone really gives any idea of a twist away right from the start which was annoying. Hugh Jackman was very good in his role I thought and there are some appearances from Natasha Henstridge (Species, Ghost of Mars) and Maggie Q (Die Hard 4). However it is all too straight forward to work out if you have seen any decent thriller before. Ok for a look but nothing special, you might prefer Derailed instead.

Maggie is dropped in Nazi Germany to plant a bug in her mother's house - the mother she thought was dead. But along the way, she'll meet her half sister and get caught up in the horrors of Germany in 1941. As always with the series, I was pulled into another time and place with very real characters while I was reading. A few flaws (same ones as the two previous in the series), but for the most part I enjoyed this book.

Maggie Hope gets a job as the new pool secretary to new Prime Minister Churchill in 1940 London. But as bombs begin to fall on the city, she is about to find herself caught up in a plot she never would have imagined. Again, this one was slow at times, although when the plot really got going, it was hard to put down. But the characters were so wonderful I enjoyed it even in the slow parts.

Over the past 12 months, John Marrs has shot towards the top of my favorite authors' list, and 'What Lies Between Us' does not fail to deliver.

Featuring the most messed up of family dynamics, the gasp moments keep on coming as we try to decide who is most dysfunctional; daughter Nina or mother Maggie. They both put a big claim to the title.

The writing is so gripping that once you start you just want to keep on going, so despite the disturbing content I didn't want a break.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy
