I have no idea what rock I had been living under but I sure am glad that I climbed out from underneath it and read this book because I LOVED IT!!!

Erica is a young woman who is caught up in an abusive relationship but that's not all; her husband Shawn is a vampire. When things finally come to a head for Erica she runs for her life with the help of the very attractive and sumptuous Kevin. However, things are not what they seem and Erica is in for the ride of her life.

The author's creative and sensual writing style does not leave you lacking. The story line is well developed and the sizzling sex scenes will leave you completely breathless. The characters are strong and compliment the story rather well and did I mention the tantalizing sex scenes?! I look forward to reading more books from this author and I HIGHLY suggest/recommend you quickly jump on the Alice Brown band wagon.

OMG, I almost didn't want this book to end it was that good. I love reading books like this, books that take you away from your life and really emerge you in someone else's. It made me happy and sad and angry all at once. And in the end, I felt satisfied that Madeline finally was able to truly experience and enjoy life.

In regards to her mom, I just want to say without giving too much away, I don't know what it feels to lose both your husband and your son in one sitting and still have to go on living to raise your daughter. I can only imagine how difficult it was for her to pick up the pieces of her life and keep going. And even though I think what she did was wrong, as Madeline said, love makes you do crazy things. And fear of losing those we love can sometimes drive us to madness.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The serial killer thriller that took Europe by storm.

At 11 years old, Gabriel Naumann is witness to a horrific crime. Twenty-nine years later his girlfriend is taken. Then the messages begin. 'If you want to find her, then you'll have to find me.'

Somebody knows the truth. Somebody knows what he did. And now his girlfriend will pay for it - unless he can find her in time. When you've spent decades running from your past, what do you do when it finally catches up with you?

This was an enticing cover!

I was told how gory and scary this book was and I was kinda expecting more! It was a good read but just that a good read. When I’m told to expect gore and horror then I want it to hit me in the face and this didn’t. The story was ok and well told but yea I wanted so much more!

Amazing characters (3 more)
Action packed
Well written
Set in Australia
My First thriller/mystery read
This was a very Great book. This book is best enjoyed in one sitting - but you won’t really have a conscious choice in that once you begin reading you will be hooked and compelled to read until you reach the very last page!

There was never a dull moment in the story and it was so well written I did not want to put the book down until I was done!
Nothing is as it appears on the surface and it is action packed until the very end. Every single character had a purpose and you knew exactly what you needed to about them, they were real and hardworking and it was easy to feel the characters it just make the story that much better!


It was great to read a book where it was set in Australia and written by an Australian author

Contains spoilers, click to show
Was truly amazing. I loved the characters and how every time you think you might know what is going on, it flips everything you think you know on its head. I found this to have some particularly good points about being a young girl and how relationships worked. I also enjoyed the scenery, which you can't help but admire while reading. Even with the perspective being from the main character's eyes, I found myself thrilled at every word and page. I did find it started off a little slow, but once I finished chapter 2, I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I was glad to see it didn't focus too much o side details or rants, though it had that potential. I thought it moved smoothly through the story without giving too much away. Makes me excited to pick the rest of the 5 book series.

Twistedly beautiful
This series is very refreshing. Weird and sometimes strange but like a guilty pleasure nonetheless leaving you wanting more! With storylines and characters so twisted and peculiar it leaves you totally mind boggled. And just so you know tate Langdon is sinfully delicious (just saying!) I have progressed to series 3 so far so I have a lot to catch up on (I know! Don't give me that judging look) ? but I will say from what I've seen, if you think the first series isnt enough to keep you up all night binge watching episodes like its going out of fashion. Just you wait! each following season gets better and awesomely shocking! your brain will start to wonder "wait... Did my eyeballs just see that!?" two thumbs up and two big toe wiggles from me thoroughly recommend to anyone who revels in not being normal, well because normal people scare me of course ?

The ending I could never guess (0 more)
Who could guess the reason the culprit had (0 more)
This book was something a bit different but I guessed who the culprit was going to be from the beginning...not so much the specific character but definitely the why and the type of person (I can't reveal as don't want to spoil it for other readers).
It was an interesting book but I did get slightly bored but wanted to continue reading.
The author made sure the reader felt the character's fear as you were never sure what was going to happen next.
I would never ever have guessed what happened at the ending in the epiloge.
The blurb described the book well.

Incredible book
This was the first proper dystopian teen book I had read (well before the film's) and I really enjoyed the complexity and reality the author gave to the story, how the mother struggled with her husband's death and what this meant to a family living in such a cut throat world. I loved how you could see why she was doing what she did, that she never planned to get out alive when she saw who was going in with her and how she wasn't the 'darling' of the book nor a 'princess' to be looked after.

The ending of the series was a let down but this book is great to get your teeth into

Maybe you have to have a certain intellect to completely understand and, in the end, like this book. Perhaps I'm not smart enough to have enjoyed the story. I don't know. However, I can say that I most definitely did not like this - at all. I felt like the author was trying to present every philosophical thought he'd ever had into one book; most of the time I was confused, but I was curious about how it would end so I kept reading. I wish I hadn't. My mind ran wild with questions and assumptions, most more crazy than what actually happened (or, what I could understand was happening). There was only boredom and disappointment for me.
