this is another fab read from this author that you'll never want to end. i couldnt put it down till i'd got to the last page. this is the second novel in the series, which picks up straight from the epilogue of the first novel brazen. the characters are fab and mixed with the interesting story gives you an amazing book. the chemistry between the characters is hot and steamy and sets the pages alight as you read.

Just as amazing as I remember it. You start out reading the novel, waiting for this huge plot and adventure t ounfold, and then you realize that you have been reading it since page. Mr. Alexander does not waste your time and effort with fluff.
On the second page, I was once again finding myself consumed in this novel meant for young adults. I have to say that it is still one of my favorite series, despite my age, and would recommend to any age.

I was expecting some blood, gore, violence, and monsters (as you would expect from a novel written by a master of horror) and it was all there, but this isn't strictly a horror novel. It was more of an intriguing paranormal thriller, combined with romance and plenty of drama. The suspense kept me hooked and the believable characters left me thinking about them long after I finished reading the story. I haven't read many Koontz novels, but will definitely be reading more after this one.

Just pick this manga up for the artwork as it is stunning! Absolutely beautiful ❤
I must admit I haven't read the original novel but after reading this I would like to give it a go.
The only negatives I found in this book is that it felt a bit rushed like too much was packed into one volume so things got a bit confusing at times. Maybe reading the novel will clear things up.

I picked up this book solely for the unique binding; I happen to be a bookbinder (around intermediate level, I've made some cool stuff), and I loved the accordion binding. This book isn't long enough to be considered a novel, it's definitely a novella. It's the same story, from two different viewpoints, which I loved. However, the worst part is that it was only a novella, I could have read a long novel about the story and the characters.
One of those books that I've always felt was required reading (like The Lord of the Rings), but boy oh boy: was that heavy going!
Not a novel to read for the fun of it: Melville goes so heavily into the minutae of life aboard a whaler that, at times, it's more like reading a (exceedingly dry) technical tome than reading an actual novel. I think you could chop a good 2/3rds of the book out, and still get the flavour of the plot ...

Too many characters
Good for a Christmas mystery
For a Christmas genre novel this was great but in general it's just okay. It has not too much to do with Christmas and there is a solid mystery story that is intriguing. There are so many characters in such a short novel and I found it easy to get a little lost but the story isn't too complicated either. It's an easy one or two sitting read.

I'm a little unsure what to say about this book. It's very well written and it's a great little gothic novel, with a great setting in Lancashire during the time of the Pendle witches. Fleetwood is an endearing if not slightly irrational protagonist and mostly likeable, although I do think some of the other characters were a little underdeveloped. This is just an all round very good and well written novel that I struggled to put down, even if the plot wasn't exactly unpredictable.
