CHAINED OMEGA is the third book in the Black Creek Pack. I'm afraid I haven't read books one and two, but I really want to now. I was still able to enjoy the story and didn't find it impacted me too greatly on what I had missed previously.

It begins with references to the overall story arc - Corey is on the run and hungry. When he smells sausages, he enters the cabin and feeds for the first time in days. When Alexei finds him, he thinks Corey has been sent to spy on him. He captures and cages Corey while he tries to figure out what's going on.

Moving on to Corey and Alexei's story, boy, it's a hot one. I really felt for the pair of them. Having a psycho dad and brother can't be fun! Especially when they have designs on your man. I honestly don't know which one I felt the most sorry for.

This was a fast-paced and thrilling story. I enjoyed every word and really want to read more in the series, both before and after this one. I wouldn't say it is essential to have read the first two books, but I would recommend it as it does follow on (sort of) from that storyline.

In a world full of wrongs, it's nice to see something right - and that's what the relationship between Corey and Alexei is. Definitely recommended by me.

Tidelands ( Fairmile book 1)

⭐️⭐️⭐️

A country at war
A king beheaded
A woman with a dangerous secret

On Midsummer’s Eve, Alinor waits in the church graveyard, hoping to encounter the ghost of her missing husband and thus confirm his death. Until she can, she is neither maiden nor wife nor widow, living in a perilous limbo. Instead she meets James, a young man on the run. She shows him the secret ways across the treacherous marshy landscape of the Tidelands, not knowing she is leading a spy and an enemy into her life.

England is in the grip of a bloody civil war that reaches into the most remote parts of the kingdom. Alinor’s suspicious neighbors are watching each other for any sign that someone might be disloyal to the new parliament, and Alinor’s ambition and determination mark her as a woman who doesn’t follow the rules. They have always whispered about the sinister power of Alinor’s beauty, but the secrets they don’t know about her and James are far more damning. This is the time of witch-mania, and if the villagers discover the truth, they could take matters into their own hands.

This was my first Philippa Gregory book and I liked it but it didn’t wow me! I took a while to get into it and struggled a little for a while. I’m glad I stuck with it though and it did really pick up towards the end. I’m a fan of historical history reads so the era was right up my street. I must say the ending was just so sad and my heart actually wrenched for Allinor. I look forward to reading more.
