This is a pretty good book, not the best I’ve read, but pretty good. There are some great characters, especially the lead protagonist DS Manon Bradshaw with whom I felt able to connect with. The writing flowed well making it easy to read. The story kept my interest throughout and I felt the police investigation aspect was quite believable.

This is the first in a series of books featuring DS Bradshaw, I am tempted to read more.

Thanks go to the publisher, HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and NetGalley for my copy in return for an unbiased review.

3.5/5: I believe this was an important story to be told. I however did not like a few things about it. The starting at the end and counting backwards in the storyline was a bit difficult to get use to. I also felt as though she tried to write 2 different books and mashed them together, all the intertwining of lives seemed like a second story in the making. I don't like how unfinished the book was left. There were many questions I was left with not life pondering questions just unfinished story line because we wrote too much sub-plot.

Another gem by Janet Evanovich. I am SO addicted to this series that it isn't even funny!
In this installment Stephanie finds herself standing next to an armed robber when he takes his mask off making her the only person in Trenton who knows the identity of the "Red Devil." Go figure! Of course the Red Devil turns out to be a member of the Comstock Street Slayers who are in the process of initiating a new general. They decide to make Stephanie the final target of his coronation. Needless to say, hilarity ensues, but this book was pretty suspensful too. Plum is always getting herself into stiky situations, but this one was only the 2nd situation that stressed me out as a reader.
Obviously I knew she would make it out of the book alive since there are 7 more books in the series. That didn't stop me from worrying though. The mark of a great book!

Hook’s Pan ( Kingdom book 5)
By Marie Hall
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trishelle Page has known pain in her life, but instead of it making her weak, she's stronger. Confident. That is until the day a fairy kidnaps her during her staring role in Peter Pan's play and tells her not only do fairy tales exist, but that she's the soulmate of the pirate they call Hook, making her question everything she ever thought she knew.

Captain James Hook is a man at the end of his rope. He's not the villainous bastard tales have made him out to be. So when the curvaceous blonde drops literally at his feet, he aims to prove it to her. If only to get her into his bed.

What neither one knows is that fate and magic are conspiring and they can deny the attraction all they want but their happily ever after is already written, it's just a matter of getting there.

This has to be one of my favourite fairytale retell series. Marie Hall just gets that balance of classic details and adult revamp just right. This I think was my favourite so far I absolutely love Hook. These books never take me long to read as they are just so much fun!
