this is the third book in the series and another fab addition to the set. the characters feel very real in this book. this book is not just a romance story but a moving, emotional one. these book just keep getting better and better the more you read. i just couldn't put the book down till i'd got to the end. i cant wait for more from this author in the future.

Better than the first
I didn't believe it possible, but this second series has really surpassed the first. I think it's partly down to having main characters that are now well established and likeable at that, and their personal lives are shown briefly and all we ever get is an insight into the private lives rather than them being drawn out and over exaggerated. Not matter shows can pull this off without becoming dull or just cheesy.
This show is all about corrupt police, so theres always going to be an element of surprise and ambiguity. However for me this second series really excels. It takes ambiguity and grey areas to a completely new level and I spent the entire 6 episodes unsure of which way things were going to go until the final reveal. This series may not be quite as gory and violent as the first series, but it makes up for it in tension and intrigue, brought in part by the wonderful Keeley Hawes and the rest of the cast.
I should also add that I'm highly impressed with how accurate the portrayal of policing is on this. Yes there is some artistic license in place to make it look more exciting (and even get me started on their lax attitude to drink driving), but aside from this they've obviously done their research. It makes me feel like I'm at work, although obviously a more exciting version).
Although I have to admit the thing that surprised me the most today wasn't the ending to this series, but finding out that Martin Compston is actually Scottish! Arnott is a Scot, mind blown.

I'm glad this volume was a departure from the 'Yamatai' thing. The writing was a little better, but it was predictable. I feel like these Tomb Raider comics love zombies. Even though it was better than the last series, I'm definitely not going to waste any more time reading further Tomb Raider comics.

Raw, cloying and close
I felt drunk watching this and not just from the excessive amounts of alcohol consumed by the characters. Amy is fantastic as always, what a treat to get her level of screen presence spread across a TV series instead of the short time a film provides.

It's hard to put into words how good this series is proving to be! I never imagined someone could write a book with characters that not only jump off the page, but feel fully real and tangible. I really hope that the last installment doesn't let the side down. I doubt it will.

*Disclaimer* I received this book from Barclay Publicity in return for a fair and honest review.
Wow! This book will take you on a rollercoaster of a journey. In fact, scrap that, this SERIES will take you for a ride. I'm not going to go into the story - that's what the synopsis is for and as this is book 3 in the series, you've probably already got some idea of what's happening anyway.
As for Collide, it is one step forwards, two steps back - that is the unfortunate love story between Donna and Ryan and I really, REALLY want them to get a HEA but I'm not totally sure they will. They both have a lot of secrets and life... plus Ryan's father... keeps getting in the way of them being honest with each other.
This story is woven with such skill and lots of other strands are highlighted in this book - for example, Rebecca and Randy to name just two, along with Gemma, David and Lynn plus others.
This is part of a series and each book does end with a cliffhanger so fair warning - you will be left gobsmacked and wanting the next book immediately. A brilliant addition to the Young Adult, Science Fiction, Paranormal Romance genres. Highly recommended.

It was definitely a bad idea leaving so long between book 1 and 2 of this series as I couldn't remember much of what happened. I must have enjoyed the first though or I wouldn't have had this on my Amazon wish-list.
As mentioned above, I couldn't remember much other than the final showdown with Raoul so Shaz and Arys were almost new to me in this. I still managed to enjoy it, despite not remembering how or why she got bonded to Arys, though Shaz was rather self explanatory with his being Alexa's mate.
I don't think I'll be reading anymore of the series.
