This thought provoking book has come along at a time when everyone is talking about vaccines: should we have them, or shouldn’t we? Will they cause us and our children irreparable damage? Do we have a responsibility to tell other people if we or our children have not been vaccinated?

These are all the questions that are posed in The Herd. I started this with a very pro-vaccination stance, and whilst I’m still pro-vaccination, I can appreciate the other side of the story much more now.

The Herd is all about parents doing what they think is best for their children - as parents, it’s all we can do.

The characters of Bryony and Elizabeth represented these opinions really well. I kept putting myself in both women’s shoes, and to be honest, both sides were heart-breaking.

The Herd is a balanced, well-told story of friendship, deception, mental health and the toxic side of social media. It gave me and my fellow Pigeonhole readers lots to think about and discuss. It’s most definitely a book of our time, and perfect for book groups. I’d recommend it to anyone, to be honest!

Like a cheap horror movie (0 more)
More like a 5.5
I had expected something more from Vega since I've read two of her other books. I knew her writing style and knew what to expect, yet somewhere 2/3 through it went downhill. It felt like when you rent a movie from Red Box and you can tell this movie was something someone made in a month. You're all into it. The gore is amazing, the plot is actually kind of decent for a low budget fill, and you started to cheer for the main characters to live despite the fact you were okay with them all being slaughtered at the beginning because that's what horror movies are for. Then it's like whoever created it ran out of money so the end was glued together in an attempt to have something and hope it was good enough, but you're back wishing everyone got slashed.

The Keys of the Watchman is one really good book. Once I get into the book it, I can not put it down. It got all of what you would want in a book, it has action, mystery and time travel and romance all in one book. What a way to read a book.
 
The author does a wonderful job of tell the story of the of the historical facts. You get to feel as if you are part of it. You want to help the characters. You learn about christianity though this book as well. The Archangel Michael and Lucifer (Satan, Devil) and one of the fallen angels that is mention in the book is Abdon.

The book is about good and evil and saving the mount. We have a fallen angel Abdon and Nicolas and Katelyn. We are mostly in the year of 1424. We have Jean and Katelyn and Nicholas who are called Watchman but will they save Mount Saint Michael?
