good paced plot
I saw the signposted ending (0 more)
I received this book as part of the giveaway here on Smashbomb, and I'm really glad I did because this is a book that would have potentially passed me by. Its a very good debut novel by Alex Michaelides and I look forward to seeing where he takes it next.

The book its self is a very easy read and a real page turner, it throws plenty of red herrings your way and tries to keep you guessing, it keeps the characters interesting enough for you to care whats happening.

For me the ending was signposted very early on, but I still read with excitement towards the end to see how it all unfolded.

I'd certainly recommend it, its a couple of days read so can be consumed quite easily.

When the chief programmer at her new company is murdered, AIP Turing Hopper once again enlists her human friends to track a killer. Have an artificial intelligence personality as the main character once again proves a brilliant move as this is another page turner.

good storyline, interesting characters (0 more)
grammatical errors (0 more)
A very attention grabbing roller coaster of action, not as much romance as brief eroticism, but a real page turner nonetheless. There were quite a few grammatical errors through the pages that momentarily detracted from the reading but not enough to stop you for long. I'm looking forward to reading more into this series as it seems promising.

"I read this for the first time my sophomore year in high school. This is where I fell in love with The Bard. The drama, and the incredibly powerful words Lady Macbeth is given to say were unlike any I had heard from a woman in literature at that time. It felt like a page turner. Even though it wasn’t. Cause, y’know, iambic pentameter."

Rushed but thrilling
This is thrilling and a real page turner but it did feel rushed in places. I like the main character and found the use of the term mother quite haunting.

Sometimes the dialogue felt repetitive and was used over the top when building tension.

Having said that, I couldn't put it down and enjoyed the story.

This is the third book in the series and can be read as a stand alone read, though you are better reading it as part of the series. This is a fantastic romantic suspense story that will have you hooked till the last page. This is definitely a page turner of a book. The characters are fantastic and very well developed. This is a fast paced action romance story to keep you reading long into the night. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

A real page turner! I've had this book for awhile and having read White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick and loving it, I decided to give Midwinterblood a go.

What am amazing book!! I finished it in less than 24 hours! It's like reading a bunch of short stories that are part of one big story.

I'd definitely recommend this book as it's definitely one of my now faves =)
