Well, I probably shouldn't have bought this, since resurrection/reincarnation is probably my least favourite theme for books. I skipped pretty much 30% of this book about the half way stage when it went back in time to her meeting Cyrus and a shortened version of their life. I just didn't care by then. I wanted more LOGAN and Cyrus, and instead she couldn't decide if she was Logan or Sevan or a bit of both, or even the other six people she'd been previously, and I just started to lose interest. Add in that Cyrus wasn't even in half the book and I was done.

I won't be continuing the series.

I had never heard of Vespasian below starting this book, and assumed that he was a fictitious character in the same vein as Sharpe or Hornblower, just in the Roman era. Obviously I was wrong, for he in fact became Emporer of Rome after Nero (kinda).

This added a level of intrigue to the story for me, obviously this book is only the beginnings of his story, as there are another 9 books in the series. But it's definitely got me hooked.

At times I got a little exasperated with stone of the tropes and plot conveniences used, but I'm giving Fabbri the benefit of the doubt, after all this was his debut novel.

Oh my days, I was so excited to read this book and it didn't disappoint! I loved the style of writing and I felt like we got to know all the characters, although a little slow in places I loved how it played out. I didn't guess the ending at all so that was a shock, although I feel it could have been a few chapters longer with possibly more explanation and a little bit more of a wrap up of everything, for this reason I think it should be a series! Not because I am sad it ended or anything *Sniff* *sniff* It is just a wonderful book full of mystery and suspense!

Chill Factor ( Weather wardens 3)
By Rachel Caine
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin has protected the human race from monster storms, been killed, reborn as a Djinn, and then restored to her original form. Now she's throwing the dice to stop an infinitely powerful, deeply disturbed kid-who is holed up in a Vegas hotel-from bringing on a new ice age.

There were a few shockers in the last half of the book and I enjoyed it much more than the first half. I struggled at first and found some of it a little annoying. But overall a good read and a must for important information in the series.

A Grand Man ( Mary Ann series 1)
By Catherine Cookson
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Set on Tyneside, the part of the world which Catherine Cookson knew and understood so well, this heartwarming and humorously observed book skillfully weds an authentic and unsentimentalized background to the kind of fairytale story that we all like to believe could come true and which the Mary Ann Shaughnessys of this world know to be true.

A little girls love for her Da is priceless. Catherine Cookson brings live and determination to all her books. This is the first in the Mary Ann Shaughnessy books a little girls journey in a tough environment. Love this author.
