... aaaannnnd breathe!!!!

What can I say ... wow ... another absolute belter to add to this truly excellent series with the only complaint I have is that we have to wait until March for the next instalment ... March?!? ... I have to wait until March?!?!? Oh Mr Wood you are wicked 😀

I don't even know where to begin on just how good this book, and the rest of series, is but once again, we are treated to outstanding characters, a dark and gritty storyline all wrapped up in an tense plot with twists and turns that had me swiping my Kindle so fast I got friction burns!

Highly recommended book to read as a standalone but, to get the best out of it, I would suggest you read the whole series; you won't be disappointed and DCI Darke, her friends and colleagues will become like old friends you will laugh and cry with.

A huge thanks must go to HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of the excellent Silent Victim.

Flirting With Death is a short standalone story, set in the same world as The Reapers. It can be read before or after as there are no spoilers in here.

I actually enjoyed this one slightly more than The Reapers, I think because there is no triangle. What you get is someone whose time is about up, who acts like a complete jerk, so you actually have no sympathy for him anyway. Then there is Evander, who I loved, and Piper, who was brilliant.

For a short story, this had everything that you need, complete with a HEA (sort of) if you're a sap like me. I would absolutely love this story to be developed into a longer book as I need to know more about Piper and Evander. Definitely recommended.

AN IMPERFECT TRUTH is a standalone story that follows Lexie as she leaves the 'big city' to a small town in the hope of becoming more comfortable with herself and the choices she makes. Once there, she meets Chaz, the owner of the cottage she's renting and someone who gets her heart pumping from their very first meeting.

The question of whether or not Lexie and Chaz will get together is never in doubt. The issue runs deeper than that, with Lexie not being completely honest with Chaz, for reasons and timing that were completely understandable. Also, Chaz does have a bit of a blind spot where certain names and companies are involved.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable story, with plenty of character growth. The world-building was clear and the pacing was smooth. Definitely recommended.

** same worded review will appear elsewhere **
